Veteran actor, Tamam Idris is now in critical condition at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (PPUKM) due to lung infection.

According to his son in law, Den Wahab, Tamam who has been warded since June 22, is currently being closely monitored at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU).

"Dad was not feeling well on Nuzul Quran (June 22), so the doctor asked for him to be warded at the hospital.

"His condition is getting worse now and the doctor told us to contact the other siblings to prepare for any possibilities," he said when contacted by Astro AWANI, on Wednesday.

Tamam, or his real name Bustamam Idris, 77, was admitted to PPUKM last May but was allowed to go home after a week of receiving treatment there.
