Early life and career Nah entered the entertainment industry in 1990 after completing the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) drama training course. He made his debut in a drama series titled Friends Next Door. He played a character who was perennially on medical leave (getting a medical chit), thus earning him his nickname.

His death certificate stated the cause of death as heart and lung failure.

Nah was cremated at Mandai Crematorium on 6 January 2008, following a funeral. Nah is survived by his brother.
