Kedah Menteri Besar Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah has undergone intestinal surgery at the Penang Hospital, and is reportedly in stable condition.

His political secretary Shaiful Hazizy Zainol Abidin said Ahmad Bashah underwent the surgery from 10pm last night to 3am today.

“Right now, the menteri besar is in stable condition and is resting on the advice of doctors,” he said in a statement.

Ahmad Bashah was transferred to the Penang Hospital from the Kedah Medical Centre in Alor Setar yesterday as the former has the latest and complete equipment to attend to his ailment.

The menteri besar was admitted to the KMC after he complained of dizziness at a meeting of Kedah state assemblypersons at the Grand Alora Hotel in Alor Setar at about 7pm last Saturday.
