Former Kedah MB Azizan dies

(The Sun Daily) – Former Kedah Menteri Besar Tan Sri Azizan Abdul Razak (pix), 69, passed away at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital here at 11.15am today.

Bernama reported yesterday that Azizan was in critical condition at the hospital after suffering from heart complications.

Azizan was admitted to the Penang Hospital last May after he suffered from diabetes and had to undergo surgery to amputate both his legs below the knee. He was transferred to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital last month.

Azizan who is also the State Assemblyman for Sungai Limau and Kedah PAS commissioner, had to relinquish his post as menteri besar following the defeat of the opposition pact to the Barisan Nasional (BN) in the 13th general election on May 5.
