Just Aware in the ER, Jaja Miharja Immediately Asks for Soto: Still Able to Joke Despite Serious Illness

Kapanlagi.com - Despite experiencing a decline in physical condition to the point of losing consciousness, Jaja Miharja continues to show a high spirit of life. In fact, as soon as he regained consciousness in the Emergency Room (IGD) of St Carolus Hospital, Central Jakarta, this dangdut legend immediately asked for soto.

This was shared directly by his daughter, Vita, who has been by his side since the beginning of his critical condition. According to Vita, her father started shivering heavily after the Ashar prayer and had to be rushed to the hospital.

"After the Ashar prayer, my father was shivering a lot, even after being given a bed cover, he was still cold, then after that, family members carried him to the hospital to the ER here," said Vita, Saturday (31/5/2025).

1. Requesting Soto When Starting to Recover

Upon arriving at the hospital, Jaja Miharja's condition caused panic because his body felt as cold as ice. However, when his consciousness began to recover, Jaja's first response surprised and amused everyone.

"In the ER, right after regaining consciousness while we were waiting for a room, he was like, 'shut shut, soto please, soto, I want soto,' even though he was still on medical equipment," said Vita, mimicking her father's behavior.

2. The Story of His Food Preferences

At that time, Jaja was still in recovery and connected to medical devices. Requesting food like soto is certainly not common for a patient just regaining consciousness from a near-critical situation.

"Dad's favorites are goat, durian, but not the meat, just the head, that's delicious, it gets to the brain, wow," Jaja Miharja said while laughing as he talked about his food preferences.

3. Doctor Requests to Avoid Certain Foods

The doctor did suggest that Jaja avoid certain foods due to his history of diabetes and kidney infection. However, the veteran singer is known to have a hard time resisting his cravings for favorite foods.

"He should be on a diet, he really should, but you know how he is," said Vita with a smile.

4. Experiencing Some Health Issues

According to Vita, Jaja Miharja is known to have several serious health issues such as high blood sugar, respiratory infections, and kidney infections. His body temperature even dropped very low upon arriving at the hospital.

"I touched his body, it was cold as ice, we were all scared," revealed Vita.

5. The Fun-Loving Jaja

Despite that, Jaja's zest for life and his characteristic playful nature still shine through strongly. It's no wonder that family and friends find comfort in him even amidst their worries. Jaja Mihaja is known as an active person who can't stay still. At the age of 84, he is still eager to create and has just released a new song titled 'Koruptor'.

"What matters is a healthy heart and a calm mind," said Vita.
