Veteran Sabah politician buried

KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Abdul Malek Chua, a veteran of Sabah’s colourful rough-and-tumble political scene, was laid to rest at the Ulu Ketiau Muslim cemetery near here yesterday.  

He was a leader of the ethnic Sungei community from Kinabatangan whose fiery oratory skills became the trademark of a political career that began when he was 25.
