Mahkota state assemblywoman critical due to internal bleeding

Mahkota state assemblywoman Sharifah Azizah Syed Zain is in in a critical condition and is currently undergoing treatment for internal bleeding.

“Yes, it’s true. Sharifah Azizah’s condition is now critical due to internal bleeding,” said Batu Pahat Wanita Umno chief Haliza Abdullah, reported Berita Harian.

“I, along with several members of Batu Pahat Wanita Umno, will visit her at Enche’ Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital in Kluang this afternoon.”

The 63 year old is currently treated in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Enche’ Besar Hajjah Khalsom (HEBHK) Kluang.

Sharifah Azizah won the Mahkota seat during the Johor state polls in 2022 with a 5,166 votes in a three cornered fight. She had previously represented Penawar for a term.

Pontian Wanita Umno chief Hasrunizah Hassan revealed that Sharifah Azizah was previously hospitalised for internal bleeding in March.

“We had hoped that Sharifah Azizah’s health issue was resolved after she was discharged from the hospital a few months ago,” she said.

“However, we were surprised this morning to learn that her condition is critical.”
