Dato' Sivalingam s/o Arumugam Karuppiah better known as K. Sivalingam (Tamil: கே. சிவலிங்கம்) (January 1948 - 4 April 2007) was a Malaysian politician of Indian descent. He was aligned to the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), a major component party of the incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, and was the Selangor state MIC deputy chairman.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Prior to entering politics, Sivalingam was involved in journalism. He joined the MIC in 1968 at the age of 20, and by 1986 he was elected as a senator by the Selangor State Legislative Assembly.[2] Sivalingam contested the Selangor state constituency of Seri Cahaya in the 1990 general election as a rookie candidate and won. In the 1995 general election, he contested the Ijok state constituency and won comfortably, beating a Democratic Action Party (DAP) candidate. In 1997, he was appointed as a member of the Selangor state executive council, a position he held up to his death.[2] He retained the Ijok seat in the 1999 and 2004 general elections.[2]

Death

[edit]

On 4 April 2007, en route a leisure trip to southern India with his daughter and son-in-law, Sivalingam died from a heart attack in Chennai, India, upon arrival at the Chennai International Airport from Kuala Lumpur.[3] His death prompted the 2007 Ijok by-election to elect a successor representative for his former constituency.
