The state assemblyperson for Galas, Che Hashim Sulaima, 47, who had been receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hospital Pakar Perdana, Kota Baharu since July 26, is reported to be recuperating.

NONEHis personal aide, Tuan Hassan Tuan Sulaiman said following his recovery, Che Hashim (left) was allowed to return home at 12.30pm yesterday.

"YB (Che Hashim) had personally requested to return home to rest. His blood pressure and heart had stabilised and the doctor had allowed him to return home," he said in Gua Musan today.

Tuan Hassan said they would always get in touch with Hospital Gua Musang and Hospital Pakar Perdana should any problem crop up.

Che Hashim, who was suffering from colon cancer, was admitted to the hospital three days after returning from chemotherapy treatment in China for 10 days.

He was confirmed as having cancer since May last year.
