Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin SM Amin, founder and group chairman of Naza group of companies, passed away peacefully this morning at about 1.15 a.m. (local time) in USA after a long battle with lung cancer.
At the time, he was undergoing treatment in a hospital in Long Beach, California. His wife, Zaleha Ismail, and his five children were by his side.
Despite his success and influence, Tan Sri Nasimuddin had always been known to keep a low profile. His remains will be arriving in the country tomorrow morning.
My deepest condolences to the family.
Al-Fatihah.
Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin SM Amin, pengasas dan pengerusi kumpulan syarikat Naza telah meninggal dunia pagi ini lebih kurang pukul 1:15am (masa tempatan) di Amerika Syarikat setelah lama menentang penyakit barah paru-paru.
Pada masa itu, beliau sedang menerima rawatan di sebuah hospital di Long Beach, California. Isterinya, Zaleha Ismail, dan kelima orang anaknya berada di sisinya.
Walaupun beliau mempunyai kejayaan nan besar serta sangat nerpengaruh, namun Tan Sri Nasimuddin selalu berdiam diri dan todak menonjolkan diri. Mayatnya akan tiba di negara kita pagi esok.
