KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) — Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has conveyed condolences to the family of Sarawak Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) producer Irwan Budi Annuar, who passed away last night due to kidney and lung complications.
In a Facebook post, Fahmi said that in September 2023, he visited Irwan Budi at his home in Petra Jaya, Kuching, to deliver a contribution from the Kasih@HAWANA Fund after being informed of the producer’s deteriorating health.
Fahmi said Irwan Budi served with RTM for over 20 years, making significant contributions to Malaysia’s broadcasting industry, and his dedication is greatly appreciated.
“May his soul be blessed with mercy and placed among Allah’s righteous and faithful servants. Al-Fatihah,” he said.
Irwan Budi, 51, passed away at his home in Taman Sourabaya Indah, Petrajaya, Kuching, around 8 pm.
He began his RTM career in 2005, working as a radio announcer, reporter, and section coordinator.
Irwan Budi had been battling lung cancer and kidney disease since 2021, while attached to the RTM Limbang station in Sarawak.
The final rites will be held at a mosque in Taman Sukma, with burial at Semariang Muslim Cemetery after Zohor prayers today.
Irwan Budi leaves behind his wife and three sons.
