Popular 1990s singer Sheqal, whose real name was Shaharim Sallehudin, had yearned to return and settle down in his hometown of Kampung Tanjung Putus in Raub, Pahang. However, that dream was left unfulfilled following his passing on June 17.
His wife, Normah Mohd Yussof, 58, said the late singer, who had been wheelchair-bound after suffering four strokes since 2020, was admitted to hospital on June 5 and placed in an induced coma the following day.
