Entertainer and singer Kamahl to appear in court hearing after alleged stalking charges

In a turn of events that has left many fans and followers taken aback, the Australian entertainer Kamahl has found himself in the midst of a legal quandary.

At 89 years of age, Kamahl is facing charges of stalking, which are serious in nature and have significant implications.



The charges stem from a series of text messages sent by Kamahl to a 38-year-old woman to whom he had reportedly loaned money.

NSW Police have confirmed that an investigation was initiated following the receipt of the messages by the woman, which led to the issuance of a court attendance notice for stalking or intimidating with intent to cause fear or physical harm.

Kamahl, whose voice has charmed audiences for decades with singles like 'Sounds of Goodbye' and 'The Elephant Song,' is scheduled to appear in Sutherland Court in Sydney on 5 June.

This court date marks a stark contrast to the heights of his career, which saw the Malaysian-born Australian singer rise to stardom and become a household name.

Beyond his musical achievements, Kamahl has been a familiar face on television, starring in advertisements for Dilmah tea and vanilla Coke and as a regular on the variety show Hey Hey It’s Saturday!



However, the past few years have not been without personal challenges for Kamahl.

In 2021, he faced the personal tragedy of separating from his wife, Sahodra, an event that undoubtedly had a profound impact on his life.

Kamahl said in a previous interview that he was ‘praying’ for a reconciliation between him and his ex-wife, blaming himself for the separation.

Hey Hey It’s Saturday also encountered criticism in 2021 when old clips from the show resurfaced online.



These clips often showed them making fun of Kamahl when he appeared on the show.

In a letter, Kamahl asked the host, Daryl Somers, if they would treat other Australian artists like they treated him.

It’s understood that Kamahl has been contacted to comment on the court proceedings, but at the time of writing, the singer has not made a public statement.

Never loan money.
If you can't afford to donate or give it, don't do it.
Sorrow awaits those who disagree.
Ask Kamahl if he will loan money again.
Oh - a demand for money is not fear mongering ... it could be if it is YOU who owes the debt!!

Once again, the aggrieved becomes the victim, while the debtor walks free, after playing the fake victim.
 
Im not surprised his marriage broke up but I'm surprised it's taken this long. The man is a creep that likes hiring very young hookers. He was always doing it in the 90s
And you know that because??
If you are just repeating gossip you could find yourself in court also, being sued for slander.
 
i am finding it very hard to accept these comments. He has the most beautiful voice and everyone tried to belittle his speaking voice and did not ever achieve results. just looked and sounded pathetic.

This woman chased him for money. Invited him back to her place. When he requested payment of the loan she wrote "Molester" down. Slapped him with a restraining order. She knew what she was doing & had no intention of repaying the money. All she wanted was her 15 minutes of fame.

Yes, there are always two sides to every story but quite often only one is heard. People shouldn't be so quick to judge.

What did Shakespeare say 'Neither a lender or a borrower be'' sounds like good advice . l thought it was a proverb but it's actually from Hamlet. l remember him he had a lovely voice but never heard about the hookers but thats really his business anyway. l think he was just trying to get his money back.
 
Since I don’t know what the real story is I won’t comment, but I do like Kamahl as a singer. I just hope the woman involved has not taken advantage of him for her own gain, and to be one of the women who seem hellbent on “taking down a well known person” for whatever reason.

Do you know him personally ? If you don't leave comments like that out. Don't surmise it's comments like yours that can cause harm and ruin fragile reputations
