“The death of Syed Humayun Kabir is an irrecoverable loss for the country. He was not only a successful businessman but also an ideal personality to follow for others being an honest and patriotic man,” he mentioned.

The TIB family will remain engaged to show respect to his contributions by heading the anti-corruption movement amid all barriers, said Iftekharuzzaman.

Also the founder of SAJIDA Foundation, Humayun Kabir, who died Tuesday, aged 83, was buried at the capital's Banani Graveyard yesterday.

He was among the country's most respected business professionals whose career had long been associated with leading multinational organisations. He was also a trustee of the Centre for Policy Dialogue.

Kabir had devoted his life to reaching out to the poor and marginalised, and thus SAJIDA Foundation came into being, a seedling planted during his 25th wedding anniversary when it was founded as a gift to his wife, Sajida Humayun Kabir.
