The health of PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat who is being treated at the intensive care unit of Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian, Kota Baru, was reported to be improving today, and is expected to return home soon.

    

His son, Nik Mohamad Abduh, said his father was now able to sit on a wheelchair.   

    

"This morning, doctors and hospital staff visited the house to look into preparations and needs for my father's return," Nik Mohamad Abduh  said in his latest Facebook posting today.

    

The former menteri besar of Kelantan, aged 84, was admitted to the hospital on Jan 19 as his health deteriorated during the recent floods in the state, apart from having prostate cancer.

    

Nik Abdul Aziz, who is also the Chempaka assemblyperson, was the fifth menteri besar of Kelantan (1990-2013).
