(FMT) KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional’s Sibu MP Robert Lau passed away today after a protracted illness, paving the way for another by-election.

The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) leader was also deputy transport minister.

In the 2008 general election, Lau had defeated DAP state chief Wong Ho Leng and PKR’s Lim Chin Chuang.
