SINGAPORE: Singapore multi-millionaire SM Abdul
Jaleel was involved in an accident on a Malaysian highway. He
suffered minor injuries, but his mother died in the
crash.
Mr Jaleel is a prominent businessman, well-known as
a donor for many social causes.
His son, Shaikh Mohamed said the accident on Sunday
occurred on the highway between Pagoh and Yong Peng.
The family, travelling in three cars, was on their way back from
Kuala Lumpur.
Only one car, which was carrying six passengers excluding the
driver, was involved in the accident.
Mr Jaleel, his sister and his mother were among those in the
car.
Mr Jaleel's mother died on the spot.

moment. He just sustained some bodily injuries because of whiplash.
Above the injuries, he's traumatised, he's the only son...on the
passing of his mother."
