SINGAPORE: Singapore television personality Jimmy Nah, who is better known as MC King, has passed away suddenly. He was 40 years old. The comedian died in hospital at 1pm Friday, shortly after he was admitted.Earlier in the morning, he was said to have experienced breathing difficulties at home where he lived with his mother and brother.It is not known if Jimmy had suffered from any health problems. But in the last entry he posted on his blog on 31 December, Jimmy had hoped for good health in the coming year. Local director Jack Neo, who had worked with Jimmy on several productions, said he was shocked upon hearing the news. "All along, he’s very, very healthy. So, I don’t know why. I seriously don’t know why," said Jack Neo. Jimmy had acted in a couple of local movies, including Neo’s "Just Follow Law", as well as local drama serials.
It is kinda sad for him to have to die at such young age. Without him, the comedian community seems to be lacking in talented comedians. Jack Neo has also lost a valuable member of his JTeam. In memory of him, I shall put up the link to his blog as well as many other artiste's blog that I can find.
