KOTA KINABALU: The youngest son of former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman passed away after a battle with cancer and Covid-19. He was 34.

       Mohammed Hayssam had been battling lymphoma cancer but was infected with Covid-19 before passing away at the Gleneagles Hospital here, according to his father-in-law Datuk Gulam Haidar Khan Bahadar, who is the Yayasan Sabah director.

       He said arrangements were being made by the Health Department for Hayssam's funeral at the family's hometown in Sabah's interior Bingkor in the Keningau district.

       He said that Hayssam was showing improvement in his cancer treatment but the Covid-19 infection complicated his medical condition.

       Hayssam married Ghulam's daughter, Fiti Hana, in January 2017.

       Hayssam is one of Musa's four children. His elder brother, Yamani Hafez, is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's Sipitang MP.
