PI Bala
KUALA LUMPUR: Former private investigator P. Balasubramaniam, better known as PI Bala, died of a heart attack at a clinic in Rawang near here today, said Subang Member of Parliament R. Sivarasa.
Sivarasa, who is a member of the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) central leadership council, said Balasubramaniam died at 1.40 pm after experiencing breathing difficulties.
Balasubramaniam was on the way to the Sungai Buloh Hospital from his house in Rawang at about 1.30 pm, he added.
Sivarasa said Balasubramaniam, who had returned from India recently, was admitted last week to the Sime Darby Medical Centre (SDMC) in Subang Jaya where it was found that he had “three major blocks” and was scheduled to undergo coronary bypass surgery in three weeks.
Balasubramaniam was discharged from the hospital last Tuesday. — BERNAMA
