SINGAPORE: 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, 36, was repeatedly hit with a ‘chota’ on the head, face and body by a man.
