Veteran Singapore actor David Bala dies at 67

He was a familiar face to Singaporeans, both young and old. 

You'd remember him from Jack Neo's movies Just Follow Law and Ah Long Pte Ltd, and, of course, as the great Encik Muthu in Mark Lee's comedy The Ghosts Must Be Crazy.

On Friday (Aug 29), Tamil channel Vasantham posted the sad news on their Facebook page​ revealing that veteran local actor, David Bala, 67, died of heart disease.

The actor, a popular face on Vasantham, also starred in Suria drama Tetangga. 

He leaves behind his wife and four children, reported Yahoo News Singapore.
