Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat is now resting at the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) Kubang Kerian after being admitted to it on Friday for a back problem.

NONE Speaking to reporters in Kota Bharu today, his son Nik Omar said doctors advised Nik Aziz, 79, to be warded following an examination on Wednesday.

"I do not know when he will be discharged," Bernama quoted him as saying.

He added that his father had been having the problem for a long time since he (Nik Aziz) fell off a horse.

On Wednesday, Nik Omar said his father has been in pain since his return from haj where he had accompanied Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan.

Upon return, the menteri besar was taken to the Perdana Specialist Hospital.

Nik Aziz became Kelantan menteri besar in 1990.
