KUALA LUMPUR: Mohd Supyan Abdul Rahman, also known as Pyan Habib, died at his house in Hulu Kelang tonight. He was 66 years old.

His wife announced his death on Facebook.

“My spouse Pyanhabib, as you knew him, has died. He has returned to his Creator. “Forgive his mistakes and pray for him,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, when contacted by Bernama, Malaysian National Writers Association (Pena) president Associate Prof Dr Mohamad Saleeh Rahamad said he received a call from close friends about Pyanhabib’s death shortly after 9 p.m.

Pyanhabib was scheduled to read poems at the recent Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair (PBAKL) 2024, but he was unable to attend owing to health issues.

“He hasn’t been well since returning from performing Umrah last year. “He was thin, had lost his appetite, and had very limited movements,” Mohamad Saleeh stated.

Pyanhabib was born in Taiping, Perak on May 27, 1958. He was also recognised for his acting, having participated in films including Kembara Seniman Jalanan, Tsu-Feh Sofiah, Tak Kisahlah Beb, and Rock Oo. – BERNAMA
