Dusit Nontanakorn, 64, chairman of Thai Chamber of Commerce, passed away today evening after 10 days of hospitalisation for leukemia.
The religious ceremony will take place at Wat Thatthong, Ekamai.
Dusit won huge praise for his initiative against corruption, while leading the business organisation. Through the initiative, carried out jointly with the Thai Institute of Directors, some leading business enterprises have vowed to avoid all types of corruption.
He was diagnosed with leukemia last year but he continued his work. He was heard saying "it's better than being idle."
His departure is considered another huge loss to the Thai business sector, following the sudden death of Charnchai Charuvastr of IOD months earlier. Together, they laid down the framework against corruption.
