JOHOR BARU – Former Johor menteri besar Datuk Osman Sapian was admitted to KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital here last night after suffering a mild stroke.
His son Nornekman said Osman, who is also Kempas assemblyman, was rushed to the hospital about 10pm.
“Alhamdulillah, my father’s condition is more stable now. A while ago, he started talking and answering phone calls,” he told Bernama.
He said his 70-year-old father is in the process of being transferred to a hospital in Kuala Lumpur for further treatment.
Johor Bersatu deputy chairman Senator Md Nasir Hashim said he received the news in the Dewan Negara today, and that it came as a shock.
Permas rep Datuk Che Zakaria Mohd Salleh said he plans to visit Osman in the federal capital tomorrow.
Ayer Hitam Bersatu division chief Osman was appointed Johor’s 16th menteri besar after the 2018 general election, a post he held from May 12 that year until April 8, 2019. – Bernama, October 13, 2021
