NONETitiwangsa MP Dr Lo' Lo' Ghazali (left) has clarified that she receiving visitors during the Aidilfitri season even though she is still recovering from an operation done a month ago.

However, she said she is unwilling to meet the press or be interviewed, she said in a text message to Malaysiakini today.

"I have been resting since the operation and I have just returned from my hometown where I celebrated Hari Raya.

I am suffering from acute gastro enteritis (stomach flu)."

Not ready for press, friends welcome

"But never have I nor my family said I would not receive visitors, but I'm not ready to receive the press or be interviewed by them," said Lo' Lo'.

She adds that her friends and family have been visiting her house.

She was responding to a Malaysiakini report yesterday which quoted her aide Mohd Ehsan Mohd Surur saying that she needed a long recovery period and is not seeing visitors.

Lo' Lo', the PAS national social welfare bureau chief, underwent surgery at the National Heart Institute in August but party leaders were mum on her condition.

Prior to this, Lo' Lo' has never publicly revealed her medical condition, although on Sept 14 she appeared in public donning a surgical mask during a public function, reported PAS online organ harakahdaily.net.
