Khalid shrugs off TV clip of him napping

Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim appear to be back in good health after causing a stir on Friday when he dozed off in public a few times.

It was business as usual for Khalid when he attended several functions yesterday, including the International Museum Day celebration, which required him to draw a bow and arrow.

On Friday, Khalid dozed off during the state legislative assembly sitting and again while addressing the press later.

His aides explained that Khalid was suffering from high blood pressure and his medication had caused his glucose level to drop, making him drowsy.

However, a news report by a television station cast the incident in negative light on Friday night, airing a clip of him dozing off during a press conference after speaking for 15 seconds.

Khalid wrote on his Facebook page yesterday that he was very open about the incident and assured that it would not get in the way of his duties.

"As a human being, there are times when we fall sick. The people can evaluate my commitment towards my work. I thank them for wishing me good health," he said said.
