20080502: Naza Group founder dies at 54 in Long Beach, California, USA

Tan Sri S.M. Nasimuddin S.M. Amin, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of the Naza Group, passed away of lung cancer in California at 1.15am (Malaysian time).

More info here. So this ends the fate of a star result of the NEP!
Is this fated? Earning billions, but not healthy enough to enjoy it into the evergreen years?
Is this because of ONE person given the chance by ANOTHER to get more profits PER car than the original car manufacturer?
THINK about it!

So from an AP related timeline perspective, for 2008:

March - Kak Pidah (Aunty Raffy) is out

May - Nasimuddin is out

Sometime in the near future: REALISTIC prices for cars in Malaysia? Look east perhaps? Middle East?

Can my Honda Hybrid finally be a realistic RM 58,000 rather than RM 158,000? (OK, Langkawian's get to enjoy and save the environment at RM 100k!) I doubt Honda Japan gets RM 100,000 for each 1.3 litre car they sell. f they do, then US / UK MBA programmes can "terbang layang-layang!"NOt
Note: US SRP = US$ 22,600 (or RM 72,320 at 3.20)

My final word of advice to young budding entrepreneurs. Profit all you can in this world of material wealth. But never forget to give back to mother nature and your community.

Pain is felt more intensely via silent curses as compared to physical hurt.
