According to The Malaysian Insight, Hassan’s brother-in-law said the following in a message on social media, “He had two phones, one Blackberry and a Huawei. We don't know which one exploded. Who would have thought such an innocuous routine procedure is the reason three young kids will grow up without their father by their side."
Hassan was educated in the United Kingdom and had a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Buckingham. He spent over 15 years promoting early-stage funding for tech startups. The Malaysian Ministry of Finance owned Cradle Fund which helped fund tech entrepreneurs and start-ups.
