#SHOWBIZ: Nas Ahmad of Melodi's 'Terjah' fame dies at 65
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Melodi producer and journalist Nas Ahmad has passed away at Sungai Buloh Hospital at approximately 9.49 this morning, succumbing to complications from a lack of oxygen. He was 65. His daughter-in-law, Farhana Nazlin Mohamad, confirmed that Nas, whose full name was Md Nasir Ahmad, died in the hospital's Emergency Zone after being admitted yesterday due to critically low oxygen levels. "His oxygen level dropped drastically yesterday, and he was rushed to the red zone by ambulance. He was heavily reliant on a breathing apparatus during treatment," Farhana told BH Online. "This morning, we received the devastating news from the hospital. His remains are currently at the forensics department," she added. Details regarding funeral arrangements will be announced later, pending the completion of necessary procedures related to the body. "The enshroudment, prayers, and burial arrangements will be made public once the hospital formalities are concluded," she said. News of Nas Ahmad's passing follows earlier concerns within the entertainment industry about his deteriorating health, after photos showing him visibly unwell due to heart problems circulated. Before his tenure at Melodi, Nas began his career in journalism as a part-time writer for the entertainment magazine URTV in the 1980s. During his time with Melodi, he became well-known for the "Terjah" segment, a popular feature that saw him pursue artistes and entertainment figures for their take on various controversies. After leaving TV3, Nas established his own YouTube channel, "Nas Ahmad Terjah." In April 2024, Nas Ahmad was honoured with a Melodi Icon award. He is survived by his wife, three children, and two grandchildren.
