ANANDA KRISHNAN, FOUNDER OF MAXIS AND ASTRO HAS PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 86

Abel Wong - Nov 29, 2024

Yesterday on 28 November 2024, Ananda Krishnan Tatparanandam, formerly the
chairman of Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd, as well as the founder of Maxis Berhad and
Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd, passed away at the age of 86. He also owned a large
stake in an oilfield service provider company, Bumi Armada Bhd, through Objektiv
Bersatu Sdn Bhd.



A brief history of the late Ananda Krishnan, he has contributed to Malaysia's
development in telecommunications. His huge influence and philanthropy had an
impact on society and the business world as well. Usaha Tegas was the first to
announce the sad news of the chairman's passing. The company also requested the
public to respect the privacy of the deceased family.

He was also listed as the sixth-richest Malaysian by Forbes in April, with a net
worth of US$4.8 billion (~RM21.3 billion). Both Maxis and Astro have extended
their condolences to Mr Ananda Krishnan's family and reflect on his achievements
and guidance over the years that helped the companies to what they are today.

 * HUAWEI MatePad 12 X: Can This Tablet Actually Perform & Replace Your Laptop?
   | Tech A Look
   Nov 12, 2024
   
   Do you have that millennial trait where "big purchases" and "important
   things" must be done on a laptop? Let's see if we can break that conditioning
   with a tablet, specifically the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X!
   
   Top things to test out is:
   1️⃣ Productivity & Ease of Use – I need something that works for me, not
   against me.
   2️⃣ Apps & Functionality – Efficiency is key, whether it’s for work or play.
   3️⃣ Screen Size – Bigger screen = better productivity (and less squinting,
   please)!
