Zol to undergo bypass

UPDATED, 8.30am

NSC D-G Datuk Zol Embong underwent a successful bypass surgery which lasted four hours earlier this morning. He is currently in the ICU of Ampang Puteri. I was told Zol was taken to Ampang Puteri around 8.0pm the night before. He had earlier in the afternoon complained of chest pains while playing in a Maksak-organised golf tournament at UPM.

He is the second NSC DG in service who has had to undergo a bypass operation. One of his predecessors, Datuk Wira Mazlan Ahmad, underwent a similar operation in Penang in 2000 after doctors discovered five of his arteries were blocked. But unlike Mazlan who was a heavy smoker, Zol does not smoke and leads a healthy lifestyle, counting golf and tennis as his two favourite games.


NEWS FLASH - 11.30pm

National Sports Council (NSC) director-general Datuk Zolkples Embong is scheduled to undergo a heart bypass surgery anytime now at Ampang Puteri. I was reliably informed that three of his arteries were blocked. Our prayers are with Zolkples.

Sama-sama kita doakan semoga NSC D-G, Datuk Zol sembuh seperti biasa.

Laporan buletin 1.30 tv3 juga menyatakan Datuk Zol telah selamat menjalani pembedahan pintasan lewat pagi tadi.

Moga-moga Dato' akan cepat sembuh.

Sementara itu apa kata kita ajak Tan Sri Elyas Omar yang pada suatu ketika dulu telah memastikan bahawa Thomas Cup kepunyaan Malaysia kini menerajui MSN pulak. Gerenti cun punya, walaupun sementara.

Apa kata semua? Setuju kan?!
