Ismail, who had been suffering long illness relating to diabetes, was a veteran PAS politician.

He first won Manek Urai 23 years ago at the 1986 general elections, and had held the state seat for five terms.

Ismail, however, did not contest the 2004 general election but returned to his old seat four years later. - Malaysiakini, 22/5/2009, Kelantan PAS state rep dies
