His son, Vernon Chua, 43, said members of the public can visit and pay their final respects on those two days from 3pm to 7pm.

“My father will be laid to rest at the Nirvana Memorial Park in Shah Alam at about 10am on Thursday,” he said.

Vernon said the funeral service, however, will only involve family members.

The former minister’s youngest son described his father as a loving responsible man and that his death was a huge loss for the family.

Jui Meng died at Serdang Hospital at 4.04pm yesterday at the age of 80.

He had contributed immensely to the country as he was Malaysia’s longest-serving health minister for nine years from 1995 to 2004.

Vernon said Jui Meng had also played an important role in PKR, especially when leading the party in Johor.
