Syed Manzur Elahi, the prominent businessman and chairman of Apex Group, passed away at a hospital in Singapore this morning. He was 83. He passed away around 7:30 am today while undergoing treatment in Singapore.

Former BASIS president Syed Almas Kabir confirmed the matter, adding:"Manzur's family was making arrangements to bring his body back to Dhaka later in the day." "Due to aging, Elahi's immune system had weakened. While he initially recovered from a lung infection, he later developed a stomach infection," he added.
