Malaysia's communication titan Ananda Krishnan dies at 86

Krishnan's investment holding company announced his death, saying he made "significant contributions to nation building and the corporate world," and his philanthropy had "touched many lives." He passed away peacefully on Thursday, it said.

In a decades-long career that ran parallel to Malaysia's economic rise, Krishnan built a reputation as a savvy, Harvard-trained businessman whose fingerprints were everywhere, but who'd rarely show up in person. After a successful run in petroleum he made forays into entertainment, power, gambling and more, amassing a fortune estimated at $3.8 billion as of August 2024, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
