JOHOR BAHARU, Aug 12 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Johor Liaison Chairman and one of Johor's most famous opposition figures, Abdul Razak Ahmad, died at 1.20pm today after complaining of chest pain and backache earlier in the day.

Abdul Razak, 68, died at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital after he was brought there at about 4am. He lost consciousness at about 11 am.
