She added that she would be visiting Salahuddin today to find out the progress of his recovery.

“His condition is stable but quite critical and we are praying for his health. Yesterday’s surgery was a success and we are monitoring his condition in the ICU,” she told reporters after launching the state-level “Madani Afiat and One Hour Malaysia Clean-Up” programme at Perumahan Rakyat Padang Hiliran in Kuala Terengganu today.
