but even though SM Muneer was the head of the bank, he showed me compassion. Late SM Muneer
always mentored and cared like children. Very sad to hear of his death.

SM Tanveer, son of late SM Muneer, said that Korangi Trade Association, United Business Group was his
life, he dedicated his life to the welfare of the business community.
For him, the business community was like his family. He always prioritized the problems of the business
community and took the lead in solving any problem. He was not only a successful person, and an
excellent businessman but also a great father. He taught us to always help others, he was concerned
about suffering humanity. I always told my children that SM Munner is an institution in itself, so learn
something from him. The sign of his love for the business community was that even a few hours before
his death, he was present among the business community in KATI.
Administrator Karachi Murtaza Wahab said that the number of people who have gathered today to
express their love for SM Muneer and mourn his death is a witness to how great a person he was. We
have to continue his mission. Wahab said that it is a matter of honor for us that he was buried in
Karachi. Commissioner Karachi Muhammad Iqbal Memon said that he had a very close relationship with
SM Muneer, and we used to respect him as a father, but on hearing the news of his death, I felt as if my
father had passed away.

President KATI Faraz-ur-Rehman said that SM Muneer was a very compassionate person, people with
such abilities are born in centuries. He always corrected us and devoted day and night to solving the
problems of the business community. Be it illness or suffering, he always preferred to serve people more
than himself. President KATI said that after the death of SM Muneer Bhaijaan his space may never be
filled. He will always live in our hearts.
Zubair Chhaya, CEO of KITE Limited, said that having a long relationship with SM Muneer, he always
guided like a kind father. In the last meeting, he told me that he did not like Lahore. SM Muneer loved
Karachi, KATI, its people and the business community. Even if he wanted to, he could not keep himself
away from Karachi. He went to Lahore because of his family’s insistence, but after staying for a few days,
he would come back to Karachi among his old companions. The business community is also incomplete
without SM Muneer. Chhaya said that when his father died in 2008, SM Muneer console him, now after
his death, he feels like an orphan again. Zubair Chhaya said that in memory of SM Muneer, the KATI
building has been named after Awan-e-SM Muneer.

are mentored by Muneer Bhaijaan, he was truly a kingmaker.
TDAP CEO Zubair Motiwala said that the followers of SM Muneer Bhaijaan are sad today, he used to be
in our opposition group in the chamber but still had good relations. Motiwala said that SM Muneer was
a born leader, his services can never be forgotten.
UBG President Zubair Tufail said that SM Munir and his family always served humanity, they spent most
of their life in solving people’s problems. With the death of SM Muneer Bhaijaan, thousands of people
who were dependent on him became orphans.
