PETALING JAYA: Ahmad Firdous Raissuddin, the brother of late singer Siti Sarah Raissuddin, has now been put in a medically induced coma at Hospital Serdang, where he has been hospitalised due to Covid-19 since Tuesday (Aug 10).

       Siti Sarah's husband comedian Shuib Sepahtu shared the news on social media, after Shuib, who tragically lost his wife on Monday (Aug 9), due to the virus, had asked Malaysians to pray for his brother-in-law, who is now in ICU.

       "Assalamualaikum everyone, God is great. I just received a call informing me that my brother-in-law has been admitted to the ICU.

       "I ask for your prayers that Ahmad Firdous Raissuddin be granted immediate recovery," he wrote on his Instagram page on Thursday (Aug 12).

       Shuib, whose real name is Shahmira Muhamad, 37, said that Ahmad Firdous has been in a medically induced coma since 5am on Thursday to give his lungs a rest after his oxygen levels reached 85%.

       "He was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after his oxygen levels reached 85%," said Shuib.

       Ahmad Firdous's wife also tested positive for Covid-19, but their two children were negative.

       Ahmad Firdous and his wife were confirmed to be positive on Aug 2, four days after Siti Sarah's whole family tested positive.

       Siti Sarah passed away on Monday after days of being in a medically induced coma.

       The Semakin hitmaker, who was eight months pregnant, delivered her fourth child via surgery on Aug 6.
