#SHOWBIZ: Ajai: Exists' Mamat is making good progress
SEPANG: Pop rock group Exists' original lead singer Mohd Ali Kamarudin, better known as Mamat, is "a lot better now" after undergoing drug rehabilitation at Persatuan Pengasih Malaysia's (Pengasih) Cinta Manis complex in Bentong, Pahang.
The group's founding member, acclaimed composer Ajai, told Berita Harian yesterday that Mamat was getting on very well with his fellow residents at the centre, who reportedly look up to him as an icon.
"We've been informed by the centre that Mamat is doing great. He has shown real initiative in wanting to improve himself.
"Let's all pray that he'll be fully rehabilitated," said Ajai at a press conference to announce his group's new concert, Exists Premium Live @ PJ, at IOI City Mall here.
Another Exists member, Musa, added that they had kept in constant contact with Mamat, who appeared to be in good spirits.
"He's been in Pengasih for a year now, and he's upbeat about the changes in his life."
Ajai also mentioned that while Mamat wouldn't be able to make their upcoming concert, he was likely to be back for their major reunion concert next year.
Exists Premium Live @ PJ will be held at JioSpace in Petaling Jaya on Oct 4, where guests can expect to enjoy almost all of the group's most popular hits.
