Kapanlagi.com - Unpleasant news comes from senior actor and singer Jaja Miharja. The figure known as a legend in the dangdut world was reported to have fainted and had to be rushed to St. Carolus Hospital, Jakarta.
Vita, Jaja Miharja's daughter, explained that the condition began after her father performed the Ashar prayer. After the worship, Jaja suddenly shivered intensely and was not behaving like usual.
"The last diagnosis was an infection in his intestines. So on that Wednesday after the Ashar prayer, dad was shivering a lot. Usually, after the Ashar prayer, he likes to recite, but this time after the Ashar prayer, he was wrapped in a double blanket and still felt cold," said Vita when contacted by the media on Saturday (31/5/2025).
Seeing her father's condition not improving, the family decided to take Jaja to the hospital immediately. However, during the journey, Jaja briefly lost consciousness and showed concerning symptoms.
"Then he suddenly lost consciousness, when taken to the hospital he was just (resisting) like that. Well, upon arriving at the hospital, he was immediately treated. Dad is a regular at (the hospital) Carolus, so he went straight to the ER, was treated right away, and it took an hour and a half before he regained consciousness," explained Vita.
1. Had a Chance to Go to HCU
After receiving intensive treatment, Jaja Miharja's condition slowly began to improve. He was immediately moved to the care room after initially being set to enter the HCU.
"He just entered the HCU, but it was full at Carolus and my father didn’t want to go anywhere else, so bismillah, hopefully healthy without being in the HCU, because in the HCU he would be alone, my father can’t be in the room alone," he stated.
The decision not to be treated in the HCU was made at Jaja's own request. Vita mentioned that her father felt more comfortable being in a general care room and not alone.
"So bismillah, in a regular care room, may he recover quickly, and now alhamdulillah he is starting to improve, alhamdulillah his body is no longer cold, it’s warm now. Then on Wednesday night he was moved to the care room," said Vita.
2. Infection
According to the doctor's examination, the infection experienced by Jaja is not only in the intestines. There are also other infections found in other vital organs, although there has been positive development.
"Well, yesterday the doctor (said) there is a slight infection in his lung and an infection in his kidney, but he can start eating now, yesterday he didn't want to eat, hopefully he gets better, just pray for him," said Vita.
Age is also a major consideration in the medical handling of Jaja Miharja. At the age of 84, he is one of the most senior figures in the dangdut industry.
"Moreover, the age factor, because he is already 84 years old and the oldest person in dangdut, the most senior person as well. He is the oldest, above Rhoma Irama. He is the oldest," said Vita.
Nevertheless, the family remains optimistic and hopes that Jaja Miharja can recover as before. Prayers continue to flow for the recovery of the legend.
"But God willing, his condition is also improving," she concluded.
Get well soon, Jaja Miharja!
