KUALA LUMPUR: Shamsubahrin Ismail, founder of premium taxi service Big Blue Taxi, died in Kuala Lumpur Hospital at 1.32pm today from colon cancer. He was 60.
His wife, Suzana Abdul Aziz, said Shamsubahrin was first diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in 2015. Despite recovering initially, the illness recurred, leading to his hospitalisation three weeks ago.
“Due to severe pain, he chose not to continue treatment, and his condition worsened,” she said, adding that he started experiencing breathing difficulties at about 5am.
