KUALA LUMPUR, May 1 (Bernama) -- Ex-TV3 journalist cum producer, Nas Ahmad, whose real name Md Nasir Ahmad, died at the Sungai Buloh Hospital, here today.
He was 63.
According to his daughter-in-law, Farhana Nazlin Mohamad, Nas, who was famous for his appearance in TV3’s entertainment programme, Melodi, breathed his last at 9.49 am.
“At around midnight yesterday, he suffered breathing difficulty and a lack of oxygen, so we called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. This morning, we received a call saying that he has passed away,” he told Bernama when contacted.
Farhana said Nas had been suffering from a heart ailment over the past few years and was admitted to the hospital for more than three weeks last month before being discharged last week.
She said Nas’ remains would be taken to Surau As-Sahabah, Section 7, Kota Damansara, for funeral arrangements before being laid to rest at the Section 9 Muslim Cemetery Kota Damansara before Asar prayer.
Nas leaves behind a wife, Norhayati Ahmad, three children and two grandchildren.
Nas was one of the recipients of Tabung Kasih@HAWANA fund, and had also received a personal donation from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last March.
