Children of two Mahathir proxies cum cronies merge their empires

Faliq is the youngest son of Naza Group founder, the late SM Nasimuddin SM Amin, while Tan is the eldest daughter of Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, the founder of Berjaya Group.

(FMT) – The heirs of two business empires, S.M. Faliq Nasimuddin and Chryseis Tan, have tied the knot – a perfect culmination of their romance which was followed by many on social media since last year.

Faliq is the youngest son of Naza Group founder, the late SM Nasimuddin SM Amin, while Tan is the eldest daughter of Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, the founder of Berjaya Group.

The couple were united in an intimate ceremony at the Chateau Bukit Tinggi in Bentong, Pahang, on Friday .

They were said to be friends when studying at an international school and were reportedly engaged on July 2 last year when the 33-year-old Faliq proposed to Tan, 30, while they were on vacation in Marrakesh, Morocco.

The wedding photos uploaded by Faliq’s younger sister Nadia Nasimmudin on her Instagram showed the couple being pronounced husband and wife after an akad nikah (solemnisation of marriage) ceremony with RM1,000 dowry.

Faliq’s brother SM Faisal through his Instagram posting congratulated the lovebirds.

“Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), the family is getting bigger! Congrats you both,” said S.M. Faisal.

The photo received 8,000 likes after being uploaded for three hours and they were inundated with thousands of congratulatory messages from S.M. Faisal’s followers.

Faliq is Naza TDDI deputy executive chairman and group managing director, and Tan is the chief executive officer of Berjaya Times Square.

Faliq’s father SM Nasimuddin established the Naza Group in the 80s and contributed to the development of the automotive, construction and property sectors in the country.

Tan’s father is a well-known millionaire who set up various types of businesses through the Berjaya Group.
