The same official said a woman had come at him from behind and "covered his face with a cloth laced with a liquid”.
The suspects are said to have fled the airport in a taxi and have not yet been found by police.
His eyes "suffered burns as a result of the liquid", Fadzil Ahmat told Bernama new agency, and he died on the way to hospital in nearby Putrajaya.

Assassination attempts are not a new thing in South Korea. The former South Korean president Park Chung-hee dodged two assassination attempts before he was shot and killed during a 30-men raid in 1979.
His successor, President Chun Doo-hwan, swerved death in a Northern bombing plot in 1983 due to traffic congestion but 17 South Koreans, including cabinet ministers, were killed.
Earlier this week North Korea, in violation of United Nations resolutions, fired a medium to long range ballistic missile.
State-run news agency KCNA, claimed the missile is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and the test was overseen by leader Kim Jong-Un.
