Expat dies awaiting his family's arrival
By Shabna Aziz
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 12 - 05 - 2009

year-old Indian who had worked in Saudi Arabia for 25 years and had finally secured a visa for his family to join him here, died of a heart attack in Dammam while his family was boarding a plane in Mumbai to come to the Kingdom to live with him.
Moinudheen was taken to a private dispensary after complaining of uneasiness and was referred to Dammam Medical Complex, but died before reaching the hospital.
Meanwhile, Moinudheen's wife Aneesa and three children, Abdul Mohsin, Mohammed Musheer and Aneeka, were en route to the Kingdom for the first time. Moinudheen died after his family had boarded the flight from Mumbai to Dammam.
Shaji Wayanad, a social worker of the Kerala Relief Wing (KRW), told Saudi Gazette that Moinudheen had worked in the Kingdom for 25 years and had recently secured a permanent visa for his family whom he only saw during his periodic vacations.
“After trying for a long time, Moinudheen finally got a visa for his family and when his family arrived, they found that he had passed away. It's so tragic,” Wayanad said.
Moinudheen was buried on Sunday after funeral prayers in Arrayyan Mosque in Dammam in the presence of a large crowd of family, friends and acquaintances from all nationalities.
Moinudheen's sponsor, Fateh Abdullah Busaid, was particularly moved by the death of his employee and was unable to control his tears as Moinudheen was his first ever employee.
Moinudheen's family, currently staying with friends in Tuqba, will be traveling back to India soon. Moinudheen was originally from the Indian state of Bihar but had settled in Mumbai.
