Wan Badariah Wan Saad, who represented the Mata Ayer constituency in the Kedah State Assembly, died at Tuanku Fauziah Hospital in Kangar, Perlis on Wednesday evening. The assemblyman's death was confirmed by state authorities, though details surrounding the circumstances remain limited at this time.

Wan Badariah had served as the elected representative for Mata Ayer, a constituency in Kedah. Her passing is expected to prompt discussions regarding the vacancy left in the state assembly and any subsequent by-election procedures that may be required under Malaysian electoral law.
