Ex-S'gor MB managed to see great-grandson before his death

Former Selangor menteri besar Abu Hassan Omar, who died yesterday, was blessed with a great-grandson who was born on the National Day on Aug 31, said his youngest daughter, Hasnorhana Abu Hassan.

"Alhamdulillah (with the grace of Allah), my late father managed to see his first great-grandson who was born on Merdeka Day about one week before his death,” said Hasnorhana, 41, sadly when approached by reporters after the funeral prayer for her father at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque in Shah Alam today.

Also present to pay their last respects were the prime minister's wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali and former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Abu Hassan, 77, died last night at about 8.05pm at a private hospital following a heart attack.

According to an associate, Mohamad Isa Ishak, Abu Hassan complained of breathing difficulty and chest pain yesterday afternoon and was later taken to a private hospital in Shah Alam for treatment.

Besides the great-grandson, he is also survived by his wife, Wan Nor Daud, four children and 15 grandchildren.

Abu Hassan's remains would be buried at the Shah Alam Royal Mausoleum, Section 5, after the Zohor prayers today.
