The remains of legendary actor Datuk Abdul Aziz Sattar, 89, were laid to rest at the Tun Hussein Onn Muslim Cemetery in Cheras Perdana here, this evening.
His remains were buried after the Zohor and funeral prayers at the Al-Amin Surau, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn at 1.45pm.
Family members and his colleagues in the movie industry were present to pay their last respects.
In his lifetime, Abdul Aziz had also fought for the lot of veteran artistes and was chairman of the Malaysian Veteran Artistes Foundation.
His daughter, Sandakiah, 46, a housewife, said her father was warded at the KPJ Hospital in Kajang on Sunday and passed away surrounded by family members after losing consciousness this morning at 2am.
"His appetite was not that good lately, but he still attended programmes related to veteran artistes," she said when met by reporters at her residence in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, here.
Sandakiah, said her father had stayed with her family for the past two years.
Abdul Aziz leaves behind seven children, 20 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
His brother, Zaini Sattar, 80, said he left Tampines in Singapore at 4am with Abdul Aziz' family members including two sisters.
"I had wanted to visit my brother yesterday. I contacted him telling him I wanted to come to Kuala Lumpur but he told me not to claiming he was healthy.
"Then I received a call from Sandakiah at 1.50am telling me her father was unconscious and dying," he said expressing disappointment that he had not come to meet his brother earlier.
Zaini said he last visited his brother three weeks ago and regarded him as a good and virtuous man who always performed his prayers.
Malaysian Veteran Artistes Foundation secretary Eliza Mustafa said the Abdul Aziz was chairman of the foundation since its inception in January last year.
"He was always committed in helping the 30 members of the foundation comprising single mothers among artistes and the wives of artistes who had passed away," she said.
Meanwhile, veteran actor Rahim Jailani, 55, who had acted in a drama 'Da Di Du' with Abdul Aziz, regarded his demise as irreplaceable.
"I remember he had a good personality on and off films," he added.
