The country reported the first death related to A/H1N1 flu on July 23 when a 30-year-old Indonesian student, who was a confirmed patient of the flu, died from cardiac disease.

The Malaysian Health Ministry reported 49 new cases of A/H1N1 flu on Monday, who were all locally transmitted cases.

The ministry said Malaysia has 1,124 A/H1N1 flu cases, with 574imported ones and 550 locally transmitted ones.
