Hanipa Maidin collapses while attending Putrajaya monthly assembly


(FMT) – Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Hanipa Maidin today collapsed while attending the monthly civil servants’ assembly in Putrajaya.

Hanipa, the Amanah MP for Sepang who took his oath of office last week, underwent surgery at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a brain haemorrhage in 2016 after collapsing in the middle of a Dewan Rakyat debate.

He was out of action for six months, returning to Parliament in October that year.

He lost consciousness today as Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad was delivering a speech at Dataran Perdana.

Hanipa, who was there together with Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and other Cabinet members, fell from the stage which was about half a metre high.

The fifty-year-old was still unconscious as paramedics delivered medical aid.
