PAS Limbongan rep warded after chest pain

Sunday June 15, 2008

KOTA BARU: Another PAS state assemblyman has fallen ill, the third since the 12th general election was held in March.

Yesterday, Limbongan assemblyman Zainuddin Awang Hamat was admitted to the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital for observation after complaining of discomfort in the chest.

A hospital spokesman said Zainuddin was being kept overnight for observation because he had a history of chronic ailments.

“Doctors would be conducting tests to determine the cause of his discomfort. He is now resting,” the spokesman said when contacted.

Last month, Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakop underwent emergency angioplasty at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia after complaining of chest pains.

Ahmad, the Wakaf Baru assemblyman, is currently on medical leave.

Just weeks after the March 8 election, newly elected Galas assemblyman Che Hashim Sulaima was seriously injured in a road mishap at Gua Musang. He is now on the mend after undergoing surgery.

Speculation, however, continues to abound about the health of Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat following surgery at the National Heart Institute in 2004.

Since then, Nik Abdul Aziz has to undergo routine medical check-ups which compels requires him to be warded.

Recently, Nik Abdul Aziz said his health has improved and that, he plans to continue in his role as mentri besar.
