U Wei, real name Zuhir, in a reply to Bernama via Whatsapp, declined to comment, except to say, "Thank you and call for prayers for her." Earlier on Wednesday, U-Wei posted his entry in the Facebook: "I love you, Usah (Gail)."
The site was filled with condolences since yesterday from family members and his friends in the film industry, including Sabri Yunus, Pyanhabib, Khalid Salleh, Siti Zainon Ismail and Eman Manan.
