Former AirAsia Bhd chairman and co-founder Pahamin A Rajab died in London, UK, last night.

The news was shared by his son-in-law, actor Azhar Sulaiman, through an Instagram video early this morning.

"Assalamualaikum, everyone. I wish to inform you that my father-in-law Pahamin A Rajab has just passed away. He just arrived in London and had a heart attack on the plane. So now my mother-in-law and my son Rees are in London.

"He went to London to attend my son's graduation. All of us will leave for London on Monday. Let's recite the al-Fatihah together for my father-in-law. May Allah bless his soul and place him among the righteous," he said in the video.

Pahamin, 77, was the secretary-general of the domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry from 1998 to 2001 and the director-general of Road Transport Department from 1974 to 1998.
