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.
