PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang Admitted To Hospital For 'Mild' Stroke

Sixty-one-year-old PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang,was warded at the Kuala Terengganu hospital for a mild stroke this morning. This was announced by PAS secretary-general Kamaruddin Jaafar.

However Terengganu PAS Commissioner Mustafa Ali said that Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi, the former Terengganu mentri besar, can walk and talk, which is a good sign.

The doctors there have advised him to rest fully, and he is expected to be hospitalised for about two weeks.

At sixty-one he is not 'old' by current medical standards and if he takes care of his health in the future, he should come out of the present situation almost unscathed. Keeping to a heavy, physically and mentally sapping schedule which many politicians are wont to do has its downside and once the body has issued a 'warning' the time has come to sit up and take notice. I'm sure his physicians would put him through a rigorous 'damage control' programme from now on and it is in his best interest to follow doctor's orders.

Let's hope that he has a safe and quick recovery.
