When singer Sufian Suhaimi competed at the semifinals of one of the country’s most prestigious song competitions Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) last November, there was something the audience didn’t know – he had spent the week before coughing blood.

The result was negative. I think I was coughing so hard, my throat was bleeding.”
