sad news my friends,

Boy, guitarist of pioneer thrash metal band Punisher (he later on
played for funk-rockers Naked Butterfly) died Sunday July 30th at
home. He was electrocuted while fixing some lighting fixtures at his
house in Cheras.

for those who were there in the early days and knew him well, Boy was
a great guy, funny and full of life. When he joined Punisher in the
late 80s, playing alongside his older brother Karim, he was one of
the youngest guys in the scene then, hence the name "Boy" never left
the man. The last time I saw him play was at 2004's I Thrash
Therefore I Am reunion show; a joyous occasion where most of the
veterans came out of retirement to play together.

Condolences to his wife, children, family and friends.
