Terengganu: Terengganu Welfare, Women’s Development and National Unity Committee chairman Maliaman Kassim reported that Ahmad Nor Al Faizan Jusoh, 47, who is bipolar, appeared cheerful and happy during her visit this morning.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, before succumbing to his mental condition, Ahmad Nor Al Faizan was known to be intelligent and active in sports during his school years at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Sheikh Abdul Malek. Maliaman Kassim noted, “During my visit, he was very cheerful and shared a lot of stories. The doctor is currently treating him and it isn’t sure till when he will be at the ward.”

Maliaman further announced that the state government plans to hold a special meeting on February 5 to address and strategize on handling such cases in the future. This meeting will involve various agencies, including the police, the Social Welfare Department, and the Terengganu state health department.

She highlighted the urgency of the meeting by referencing a past incident that shocked the community-the death of three Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) students who were tragically killed by a car driven by a woman with mental disabilities. Maliaman emphasized the importance of finding effective solutions to these issues.

Finally, Maliaman reassured the public by saying, “I hope the public can be more just and not be afraid of coming to Terengganu because of such incidents. This is an isolated case. We leave it to the authorities to investigate and charge those who are guilty.”
