However, although she was shocked with what her fifth son, Mohd Zul Shahril Saidin, had gone through, Hasmah Ahmad, 38, said she accepted her son’s fate if the tumour was really his twin.
“The foetus which was removed from my son’s abdomen was formed with organs like those of a baby, only the nose and mouth were not complete,” she said when met at her house in Kampung Charuk Kangar here yesterday.
Zul Shahril’s abdomen kept growing for 15-years, supposedly the foetus of a twin, and the news went viral on social media as there had been no such incident in the country.
The foetus that was removed from Zul Shahril, who no longer goes to school, was said to have hair as well as legs, hands and genitals.
Hasmah said the funeral rites had been performed on the foetus that was buried at the Amanjaya Cemetery in Sungai Petani.
She said her son, the fifth of her eight children, had complained of pain for the last four months, and was admitted to the Baling District Hospital before he was referred to the Sultan Abdul Hamid Hospital in Sungai Petani.
Meanwhile, Kedah Health Department director Dr Norhizan Ismail refused to comment on the case and attempts by reporters to meet the teenager who is still at the hospital, failed.
