Malaysian actor Kamal Adli was attacked by an armed man on Sunday (12 March) at the Singapore Expo, and sent to the hospital.
Adli was at the Hari Raya Mega Sale 2023 event at the Singapore Expo.
The unidentified assailant was armed with a weapon and assaulted Adli, resulting in the latter suffering injuries to his head that required stitches.
The New Straits Times reported that Adli’s wife, Uqasha Senrose, posted about the incident on her Instagram, saying that her husband was at a “special event” in Singapore when he got attacked.
The assailant is said to be a Singaporean man, who attacked Kamal with a weapon and hit him on his head, face, chest, back and below his eyes.
Senrose said that her husband’s head injury was bad and needed to be stitched up, and urged his fans and friends to pray for him.
A video of the aftermath of the alleged incident was posted on Instagram by fellow Malaysian actress Didie Alias, showing ADli sitting on a chair with a bandaged head.
Berita Harian reported that Adli suffered slashes to his head and bruises to his face and cheeks, and was rushed to Changi General Hospital for treatment.
Television host and singer Roslan Shah shared a few updates on Adli’s condition, saying that he had collapsed following the attack because of suspected brain damage.
The assailant had purportedly been following Adli around the event, and the latter had thought that the man was just a fan who wanted a photo.
The Singapore Police Force said that a 34-year-old man had been arrested and that investigations into the incident are currently ongoing.
