Penanti rep down with leptospirosis

A state assemblyman has missed the entire assembly sitting over the week, as she was hospitalised in Selangor.

Penanti assemblyman Dr Norlela Ariffin of PKR said her test results had just returned, confirming that she had leptospirosis.

She posted the update on social media yesterday, from the KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital.

On Monday, Dr Norlela posted a few photographs of herself appearing pale on a hospital bed, with a comment that she was not well and stating that it was the first time she would not be able to attend the assembly sitting.
