#Showbiz: Veteran actor Hisham Ahmad Tajudin medically-induced due to lung infection

KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran actor Hisham Ahmad Tajudin, 76, is currently in a medically-induced coma at Shah Alam Hospital's High-Dependency Ward after he was hospitalised for lung infection.

His daughter Aqeela, 26, said that the doctors had also administered a strong dose of antibiotics to treat the infection.

"My father is still in a critical condition and the doctors have informed us that they have given him a stronger dose of antibiotics.

"He had to be induced as he could not breathe without the support of a ventilator as his lungs are badly infected.

"Without machine support, there is a high risk of his heart stop beating altogether," she explained in a news report yesterday.

Aqeela said her father was hospitalised on Thursday after suffering from coughing for the past week.

Among the films and TV dramas he acted are Tsu Feh Sofiah (1985), Wira Angkasa (1987), Black Maria (2003), Tanah Kubur (2012), and Yang Tersembunyi (2020).
