“I will let the police investigate the matter,” said the 31-year-old actor from Singapore.
According to Ady, the incident was a private matter and he had been advised by the authorities to not talk about the case to the media or his fans.
“Please respect my privacy,” he said.
Ady, who has acted in local block-office hits, such as Pecah Panggun and KL Gangster, and is currently filming Suhan Movies Sdn Bhd's Balistik, said the event had affected him personally as well as his career as an actor.
“If it were not a police matter, I would have revealed all details at a press conference.
“Those who say that I do not want to share it with my fans are being untrue. I just want the police to carry out proper investigations,” he added.
He also noted that the incident had changed his life as an artiste.
“Enough ... I do not want to talk about this anymore,” he said, adding that he would be performing the umrah on Aug 6.
