But the 52-year-old's distress was short-lived, as the phone was found later on the same day. In a June 30 post on social media platform Threads, Yusry wrote that his phone went missing at Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, an outdoors river raft ride at USS. The actor-director visited the theme park at Resorts World Sentosa with his wife, Malaysian actress Lisa Surihani, 39, and their three children aged four to to nine a day after KRU staged their Singapore concert at The Star Theatre on June 28. Yusry 'felt quite miserable' about the incident. He reported the loss and accepted that his phone was gone forever. The family then headed to a relative's house to have dinner. At 7.45pm, Lisa received a call from USS informing her that a phone that matches the description of Yusry's had been found. He conveyed his thanks in a mix of English and Malay: 'Whoever found an iPhone with a black cover and returned it, may Allah repay your kindness and make your fortune abundant.' The music star's post garnered over 100 comments, many of them expressing relief and happiness. Some netizens recounted their own experiences of losing their items in public places, while others wrote that items left behind in public in Singapore have a good chance of being returned due its civic-minded citizens. KRU, which also comprise Yusry's brothers Edry, 49 and Datuk Norman Abdul Halim, 53, are best known for 1990s pop, hip-hop and R&B hits such as Jangan Lafazkan (1999). The group has also won multiple awards including Anugerah Industri Muzik 1995's Best Pop Album for Awas (1994). The trio built the KRU brand into an entertainment empire that spans music, film and live events. They also wrote and produced hits for other popular music acts such as Anita Sarawak and Anuar Zain. The group disbanded in 2018, but reunited in 2024 and released its 15th album, Kaset , in April. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
