KUALA LUMPUR: PSM’s Sungai Siput MP Dr D Michael Jeyakumar, presently detained without trial under the Emergency Ordinance 1969, has been admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) here for heartbeat abnormality.
He is said to be in a stable condition but his family members are complaining that they are not being allowed to visit him. Only Jeyakumar’s wife has been allowed to visit him so far.
His admission to the IJN was confirmed by his niece Sangeetha Jayakumar, and her father Selangor exco member Dr Xavier Jayakumar.
Earlier today she tweeted:
“Dr Kumar admitted in IJN. Admitted for palpitations. Police refusing to allow family to visit.”
PKR’s Xavier Jayakumar, when contacted, said Jeyakumar was admitted to the IJN on Friday.
“He was admitted to the hospital day before yesterday in the afternoon.
“No one apart from his wife has been allowed to visit him,” said Jayakumar, who is also the parliamentarian’s brother-in-law.
