SHAH ALAM– Andi Abdul Ghani Kadir, the animation director of popular local animated franchise Ejen Ali, has died after drowning in a river in Kinabatangan, Sabah.
The 41-year-old was reported missing on Sept 23 after he fell from the Kampung Batu Putih bridge into the river below.
Andi and his wife had been involved in an accident when the car she was driving lost control on the bridge.
He exited the vehicle before falling into the river.
