PETALING JAYA – Malaysian singer Mohd Shah Rosli, better known by his stage name Dino, is currently recovering from a stroke that affected the right side of his body. In a recent interview with Malaysian media, the 50-year-old said the incident might have been triggered by his poor diet and lifestyle habits. Dino, a member of 1990s hip-hop group Nico G, recalled eating seven durians in a single day – just a day before the stroke occurred. 'I love durian and would always eat it when it's in season. I'm not ruling out the possibility that my diet played a role in the stroke. I also eat plenty of sweet foods,' he said. Dino added that his long-term smoking habit also contributed to the health scare, and he is now making an effort to quit it . In addition to his music career, Dino also works as a salesperson at a shopping centre. He is currently on medical leave to focus on recovery. While his employer offered RM500 (S$151) to help with expenses, the singer said the amount was far from sufficient. 'After a month, I have no income. That's why I'm asking for help. I've been relying on my savings,' he said. He recently received cash aid and essential items under the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia's (Finas) Ziarah Seni Madani programme. He was also visited at his home by Malaysia's Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, Finas chairman Datuk Hans Isaac and Finas chief executive Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib. As part of his recovery, Dino must attend follow-up consultations at Hospital Kuala Lumpur every two weeks. He is also exploring alternative treatments, such as massage therapies that cost around RM200 a session. Despite the ordeal, Dino remains optimistic and is thankful that his condition is improving. 'When the stroke first hit, I could barely move or speak clearly. However, I've been giving it my all in recovery and, finally, my condition has improved,' he said. Determined to avoid a similar incident, Dino is now more mindful of his health. 'I'll be more cautious about my diet and continue taking the medications given by the doctor. I have to take anticoagulants to prevent cholesterol build-up,' he said. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
