Sad day for local television

J.A Halim, whose real name was Ab Khalim Jamaludin, left behind a vast legacy spanning 50 years of acting. His passing today is undoubtedly a huge loss to the industry.

In 2017, he starred together with Taufik Batisah and Adlina Adil in the movie Gunting and the drama series of the same name aired on Suria last year.
