The Singapore sports community lost a former world champion on August 16 with the sudden death of retired silat exponent Abdul Kadir Ibrahim.

It is understood that the 40-year-old had collapsed after complaining of chest pains. He was running errands with his wife at the time, after going for a jog.

Kadir won the Match Male Class 'E' title at the 5th World Championships in Kuala Lumpur in 1997. Two years later, he won the gold medal in the same class at the South-east Asian Games in Brunei.

He leaves behind six children, the youngest of which was born just under a month ago.
