The arrest of former Singapore Idol winner Hady Mirza has shocked the entertainment community here, even as many noted the 38-year-old had distanced himself from the music industry which showered him with accolades and adoration. The authorities have not provided details of Hady’s arrest, but a report by The New Paper on July 31 said Hady, who was spotted in the Changi Prison Complex, was arrested for drug offences.
He is believed to have been hauled up at a land crossing in Singapore, and is currently in a Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
