SEREMBAN – Negri Sembilan police contingent headquarters Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief Ramlan Abdul Razak, 59, died at Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital (HTJ) at 1.35am today.

State police chief Datuk Mohamad Mat Yusop said Ramlan was confirmed positive for Covid-19 on August 8 and treated at HTJ, but he tested negative before he died.

“His internal organs failed to function properly due to the effects of Covid-19,” he told Bernama today. 

He said Ramlan’s death is a big loss to state police especially, its CID.

He described Ramlan as a kind but firm person with wide experience in crime investigation.

Ramlan, who had served the force for more than 30 years, had been due to retire on October 9.

His remains were laid to rest at the Senawang Muslim cemetery about 11am.

He is survived by his wife and their 10 children. – Bernama, September 12, 2021
