Kwek family scion Kwek Kon Chun was killed in a high-speed car crash just outside Kuala Lumpur yesterday, reported The Straits Times.
The 35-year old nightlife entrepreneur and avid racer, nephew of billionaire Kwek Leng Beng, lost control of his Porsche 911 Turbo, just hours after winning the Dragtimes2u Supercar Drag Race with the same car in Sepang.
Both Mr. Kwek and his passenger, Mr. Franco Toh, 43, died on the spot after the vehicle crashed along the KL-Seremban Expressway at about 2:30am in Desa Petaling, according to Malaysian police.
According to Malaysia's The Star, Kuala Lumpur Staff Officer for Traffic Investigation and Regulation, Deputy Superintendent Markandan Subramaniam, believes that they may have been driving at a high speed and lost control before crashing into the metal road divider.
A 20-metre long steel rail from the divider skewered the car through the driver's side, killing the duo.
He confirmed that the families of the two men would be arriving yesterday evening to claim the bodies. Mr. Kwek's family declined to speak to the media, while Mr. Toh's family could not be contacted.
Mr. Kwek co-owned Neverland Group, which runs several nightspots, including club Sonar at Orchard Hotel, Neverland II at St James Power Station and Pixie Mansion (formerly Neverland KL) in the Malaysian capital.
