PETALING JAYA: PKR’s Seri Setia assemblyman Shaharuddin Badaruddin is said to be critically ill.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the Selangor exco in charge of Islamic affairs had been suffering from colon cancer.
Several PKR leaders were unable to confirm Shaharuddin’s current condition.
Wanita PKR chief Zuraida Kamaruddin told Malaysiakini that the first-term assemblyman had been ill.
“Yes, he is not that well, but I’m not sure of his status as per the (Sin Chew Daily) report,” the portal quoted her as saying.
In the May 9 general election, Shahruddin garnered 29,250 votes to win the Seri Setia seat.
He beat BN’s Yusoff M Haniff who obtained 9,878 votes, PAS’ Mohd Ghazali Daud 4,563 votes, and independent S Vigneswaran 217 votes.
