KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil conveyed his condolences to the family of former AirAsia Bhd chairman and co-founder Datuk Pahamin A Rajab, who died of a heart attack in London, the United Kingdom, yesterday evening.
Fahmi, in a Facebook post today, prayed the late Pahamin’s family members remained patient and strong during this difficult period.
“May his soul be blessed and placed among the righteous,” he said.
The news of Pahamin's passing was shared by his son-in-law, actor Azhar Sulaiman, through a video on Instagram, early this morning.
Pahamin, 77, was the secretary-general of the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry from 1998 to 2001 and had been the Road Transport Department (RTD) director-general from 1974 to 1998.
