Malaysian actor Kamal Adli was attacked by a baton-wielding individual in Singapore yesterday, causing multiple injuries to his head.
According to Kamal’s actress wife Uqasha Senrose, the incident occurred last night in Singapore while the Abang Long Fadil star was attending a special event.
The 36-year-old was repeatedly struck on the head, face, chest, and back by the attacker, who Uqasha claimed to be a Singaporean national.
“My husband Kamal Adli was put to sleep for a major operation because of a very deep tear in his head,” she wrote on Instagram.
“When we were taking pictures with a fan, a man suddenly called Kamal’s name before hitting him repeatedly on the head, face, and body with a stick and a sharp weapon until he was seriously injured.
“The incident happened in front of my eyes. We don’t even know the man,” said Uqasha.
“The scariest thing is that he also shouted and left a warning to our family to be on the lookout and told us that there was an individual who sent him to attack us,” he said.
In an Instagram video, Uqasha was seen sobbing as she addressed what had occurred. She also uploaded a brief scene of her husband being attended to by medical professionals at a private hospital in Singapore.
Meanwhile, television host and singer Roslan Shah said on Instagram that the police had arrested Kamal’s attacker.
“Thank God they’ve apprehended the attacker. Let’s all pray for Kamal,” he said.
The motive for the attack is still unknown.
