Slam frontman Zamani Ibrahim made headlines in January after he was arrested for drug abuse.
Now he’s back in the news again, after fleeing from Rumah Pengasih, a rehabilitation centre in Kuala Lumpur.
The 44-year-old, who had been undergoing treatment for the past eight months, was said to have escaped in a “white car” at 10.26pm last Friday (Oct 16), Star Online reported.
Zamani did not take any money or belongings, like his beloved guitar, with him.
Pengasih president Datuk Yunus Pathi said:
“It’s really a shock for us. Why did he have to do that?”
Shortly after disappearing, Datuk Yunus said Zamani called to say that he was safe and wanted to meet up.
Zamani had been following through with the rehabilitation programme, Datuk Yunus said.
However, the singer refused to participate in several programmes due to a bad hip, which he was being treated for.

KUALA LUMPUR: Slam frontman Zamani Ibrahim has escaped a jail sentence and slapped with a fine instead
after he changed his plea to guilty for drug possession.
Speaking at Zamani’s sentencing over drug offences, lawyer Che Ahmad Zaharil said his client had turned over a new leaf after checking himself into the Rumah Pengasih rehab programme.
Zamani, 43, together with his personal assistant Nur Juliana Abdul Rani, 32, claimed trial to drug possession and consumption on Jan 29.
However, the duo changed their pleas on Tuesday, admitting to both charges before the Ampang Magistrates Court here.
“Who doesn’t know Zamani, Slam rock icon, the man behind Gerimis Mengundang? But let’s face it – he’s a drug user.
“He’s grateful he got arrested by the police. He wants to change and has since checked himself in to a rehabilitation programme,” said Che Ahmad.
