Health
editSpeech difficulties
editOn 20 February 2023, Fathul Huzir suffered some speech difficulties during his parliamentary debates. He started his speech in a normal manner but was seen physically uncomfortable about five minutes into his speech, fidgeting his necktie and loosening it, covering his mouth with his right hand as well as slurring some of his words while carrying on his speech. Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat Ramli Mohd Nor then intervened asking him whether he could continue. Several MPs present in the Dewan Rakyat chamber like Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin, Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong and Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mongin reacted worryingly to the situation and asked if he was alright and for space as well as medical assistance for him. Ramli then called the Sergeant-at-Arms to assist Fathul to the doctor. He was then pushed in a wheelchair heading towards Parliament clinic and was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof.[3]
