DEATH OF MEMBER

[Mr SPEAKER in the Chair]

Mr Speaker: It was with profound shock and deep sorrow that I, and, I am sure, Honourable Members heard the news of the death of the Honourable Member for Anson, Inche Baharuddin bin Mohamed Ariff, on Thursday, 20th April, 1961. In accordance with the Law, I have duly acquainted His Excellency the Yang di-Pertuan Negara of the resultant vacancy in this Assembly.

I desire, on behalf of the House, to record with regret an expression of our sense of the loss we have sustained and our deep sympathy for the family of the Member.
