“Istana Zakaria” Man, Zakaria Deros, Died!
“Istana Zakaria”, means “Zakaria’s Palace” in English. He was reported to have died last night in his palace. Who is this guy? Do a search on “Zakaria Deros” on Google, and you will know. No need to know who he is or his background, but what he had built, will be interesting enough to read. This guy has been a very controversial figure since the news of his RM 6Million palace surfaced.
Anyway, he’s dead now. Many guys will be happy to see this news I guess. It will be interesting how the new Selangor state government will do to rectify the money and land used to build the palace.

Zakaria Deros dies of heart attack
Former Port Klang State Assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Mat Deros, 61, died of a heart attack at his “Istana Zakaria” early today. A doctor who was called in to his palatial home pronounced him dead at 2.30am.
Zakaria last year hogged the headlines for the building of the 2 1/2-storey palatial mansion, which boasts 16 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms, built on 43,000 sq feet of land in Kampung Idaman.
Selangor Barisan Nasional dropped the controversial politician from the line-up for the general election. He was replaced by his daughter-in-law Roselinda Abdul Jamil as the candidate for the seat, which she lost to Badrul Hisham Abdullah of PKR.
