Vice President’s Son-in-Law Dies at 51
Jakarta. House of Representatives member Muhammad Rapsel Ali died in his hometown of Makassar on Sunday at the age of 51 years old.
The National Democratic Party (Nasdem) politician was the son-in-law of Vice President Ma'ruf Amin.
"He died during a work trip to his constituency,” Masduki Baidlowi, a spokesman for the vice president, said of Rapsel. "We all the vice president's office extend our condolences for the loss and may his passing come in the state of husnul khotimah [beautiful closure]."
Rapsel was known as the president of motorcycle racing team Pertamina Mandalika SAG which competes in the Moto2 World Grand Prix.
He was married to Siti Nur Azizah Ma'ruf, the fourth daughter of the vice president, in the same year when he was elected lawmaker in 2019.
A statement from the family said Rapsel died at around 8:30 a.m. local time while being treated for a heart attack at Grestelina Hospital in Makassar.
