An unidentified man attacked him with a weapon, causing him to suffer head injuries that required stitches.
At the time of the incident, he was at the Hari Raya Mega Sale 2023 event.
According to the New Straits Times (NST), Kamal’s wife Uqasha Senrose shared more details of the incident in an Instagram post.
She stated that the incident occurred in Singapore last night while Kamal was at a “special event”.

He was hit beneath his eyes as well.
“Thank god he didn’t suffer any injury to his eyes, but doctors said his head injury was bad and required stitches,” said Uqasha.
She urged his fans and friends to pray for his speedy recovery.
Fellow Malaysian actress Didie Alias later uploaded footage of the couple to Instagram on Monday (13 Mar).
In the video, Kamal sits on a chair with bandages around his head.
In addition to slashes on his head, the actor also suffered bruises to his face and cheeks, Berita Harian reports.
Authorities rushed him to Changi General Hospital, where he received medical treatment, including stitches for his head injury.
Television host and singer Roslan Shah posted a series of updates on Kamal’s status. One described Kamal as having collapsed after the attack due to suspected brain damage.
