Dublin Unting Ingkot
He was 54.
Dublin went into a coma after he collapsed at the RTM Sarawak complex following a massive stroke on May 22 last year after an interview over the Iban channel on the state’s preparations for Sukma in Terengganu.
He was the state Sukma chef-de-mission. He underwent neurosurgery to remove a blood clot and had since failed to regain consciousness.
He was the assemblyman for Batang Ai and was serving his second term as an assistant minister. He was also the vice-president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS).
With the next state election only due in May 2011, a by-election has to be called in the next 60 days.
In the 2006 state election, Dublin defeated SNAP’s Nicholas Bawin Anggat.
Dublin is survived by wife, Datin Froline Moriah Demies, and three children.
