ACEH GOVERNOR IN STABLE HEALTH CONDITION
Banda Aceh, Sept 8 (ANTARA) - Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) Governor Irwandi Yusuf was in stable health condition but still needed a lot of rest at a hospital in Singapore, Iwan Gayo, one of the governor's close friends, said here on Monday.
"I saw his health condition was good, and we discussed a lot about Aceh's political situation," Iwan Gayo said after returning from Singapore to visit the government who was under hospital treatment in the country.
He said the governor's health condition was improving but the latter has to remain in hospital for some time during the fasting month.
Asked when the Governor Irwandi would return to Banda Aceh, he said the former would left the hospital after his condition was 100 percent improved.
"I have seen that his condition was improving but he has to remain at the hospital in Singapore while undergoing physiotherapy," Iwan Gayo said.
Governor Irwandi Yusuf was flown to Singapore on August 7, 2008 but soon after then Aceh administration spokesman Hamid Zein denied reports that the governor went to the country for medical treatment after suffering a stroke.
"The news that Governor Irwandi Yusuf suffered a stroke is not true. The governor is hale and healthy. He leaves for Singapore today (Thursday) for a routine checkup," Hamid Zein told newsmen here on Thursday (August 7).
He made the statement to deny reports saying that the governor had had a stroke and was flown to Singapore for medical treatment.
"Before leaving for Singapore this morning, Governor Irwandi Yusuf chaired a meeting but later left it to Vice Governor Muhammad Nazar," Hamid Zein said.
He added that the governor was in good shape and there was nothing wrong with his health.
"The governor even drove his private car from Banda Aceh to Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport in Blang Bintang," Zein said.
Hamid called on the local media to avoid publishing stories which were not from the right and reliable sources.
"Try to get information from competent and reliable sources so as not to confuse the public," Hamid said.
