Default Malaysia Airlines Aborted Landing at Kuanta

Malaysia Airlines flight MH 1276 (Boeing 737-800) aborted landing at Kuantan airport at the last moment during a thunder storm on July 29, 2013.
After 10-15 min of horror in very rough weather the flight returned to the point of origin KL.
1 hour and 45 min in the air for a scheduled 30 min flight.
The captain also reported that the airport landing lights were out of service.

Truly scary.

I wonder, how low was the plan on fuel?

Any public record of how far of the ground the landing was aborted?
