QUICK COMMENT:
Both The Star's SMS News Alert Service and Malaysiakini today reported that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was hospitalised in KualaTerengganu suspected of having a mild stroke.
As we have always said, disability respects no one and it is really much closer to us all than we would like to think. More so in old age.
PETPOSITIVE hopes and prays that the PAS president has not suffered a stroke. However, if he has, it is very important that the YB receives the right kind of support from support groups and persons who help people with stroke or "strokees" as they are known.
However, should Hadi Awang be cleared of the condition over the next few hours and days, we hope that when he recovers from whatever he is suffering from, he and the Party he serves will do everything in their power to speak up in Parliament for all Malaysians with stroke.
PETPOSITIVE hopes that PAS will go all out to find out what their issues are and bring it up to the lawmakers so that these disabled people can lead a higher quality of life in our society.

The Malaysiakini Story:
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was admitted into the Kuala Terengganu General Hospital early this morning after experiencing what appears to have been a mild stroke.
Abdul Hadi, 60, was brought to the hospital around 6:30 am by his son, Mohamad Khalil, shortly after complaining of “numbness”, said the PAS leader’s press secretary Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir.“He is not in the intensive care unit, but he has been warded. Family members are happy that his condition is stable,” said Roslan when contacted.
Among the first officials to have paid Abdul Hadi a visit this morning was Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Said, he added.
PAS secretary-general Kamaruddin Jaffar, meanwhile, said medical specialists attending to Abdul Hadi have advised that he be given adequate rest.
“He himself has just called PAS headquarters and said his condition is not serious,” said Kamaruddin in a statement.
“We hope that all PAS members and supporters everywhere bear this with patience and pray Tuan Guru recovers soon,” he added.

STROKE
There are two types of stroke - those caused by blood clots in the brain and those that occur when blood vessels burst. In both cases, the brain is starved of oxygen, damaging or killing cells.
Sufferers are often left with difficulty talking, walking and performing other basic tasks. The chance of suffering a stroke is cut by eating healthily, quitting smoking and drinking less alcohol. People at risk of stroke are often treated with aspirin.
After a stroke, various drug treatments are available and rehabilitation is commonly used to improve patients' speech and movement.

I pray Datuk Seri will recover soon. There seems to be so much work to do with all the arrangement to get PR on the right path before parliment starts end of April.
