SINGAPORE, March 13 — Malaysian celebrity Kamal Adli, who was injured after he was attacked by a man in Singapore late on Sunday night (March 12), underwent surgery at a hospital here.

"Alhamdulillah, Kamal is conscious (after surgery)... I hope everyone prays for our safety,” said his wife Uqasha Senrose via her Instagram (IG) account today.

In her IG update late last night, Uqasha said Kamal, 37, was repeatedly hit with a ‘chota’ on the head, face and body by a man.

Without revealing the hospital Kamal was placed in, Uqasha said Kamal underwent a "major operation” due to severe injuries on his head.

Uqasha said the matter has been submitted to the police for further investigation and she also asked for fans and members of the public to pray for her husband’s recovery.

The couple is in Singapore for the three-day Hari Raya Mega Sale 2023 event starting Friday, at Hall 5A of the Singapore Expo.

According to Uqasha, the incident happened at the end of the event.

Uqasha also included pictures of the incident that happened to her husband and said the criminal has been arrested.

Citing a Singapore Police Force spokesperson, local media reported that the police received a call about an altercation that took place at the Singapore Expo.

"A 37-year-old man was still conscious when taken to hospital. A 34-year-old man was also arrested in connection with the case. Investigations are still underway,” the police reportedly said.

Organised by Megaxpress International, the Hari Raya Mega Sale also featured several artists from Malaysia. Kamal and Uqasha are among the Malaysian celebrities who always take part in such events in Singapore. — Bernama
