Unexpected incident
In an interview with BH, Uqasha said she didn't expect the incident to happen.
"He looked at Kamal with a smirk on his face. Everyone chased after the man and stopped him. They were confused and angry, why was Kamal his victim?" she said.
Uqasha posted a screenshot of a threatening WhatsApp message from a Singapore number:
"Hey, let Kamal Adli, that dog, know that I must kill him. I will torture him till the end ok. All of you are bastard dogs."
Translation: It looks like this man has been aiming for Kamal all along. Photo from @uqashasenrose2 on Instagram.
The message was sent prior to the incident.
Uqasha added: "I'm not sure what was his motive. It's not nice to endanger lives at a festive event like this."
She also expressed her gratitude for the people who helped to stop the man, and was relieved that her husband's life was saved and his memory isn't affected.
