Sanjeevan being moved to Serdang for surgery

The condition of MyWatch chairperson R Seri Sanjeevan, who was shot last Saturday, is said to be deteriorating.

MyWatch adviser S Gobi Krishnan (right) said arrangements have been made to transfer him to Serdang Hospital for immediate surgery to remove the bullet lodged in his rib cage.

"His condition is getting bad and we are arranging his transfer to Serdang Hospital by ambulance. He has fever and it has got worse," Gobi said when contacted.

He was speaking from the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital in Seremban, where Sanjeevan had been warded for the last two days.

"They have kept him here for two days because they said Serdang Hospital was yet to give the green light for the transfer,” he said.

"I have just met the hospital director to press for his transfer (and it is being done now).”

'Step up security'

Earlier today, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim urged the police to step up security at the hospital as Sanjeevan’s life is still under threat.

“We call on the (police chief) to beef up the security arrangements at the hospital where Sanjeevan is being treated,” Anwar told a press conference today.

“Without going too much into the details, we know that the current security detail is grossly inadequate.

“We are certain that the threat still remains and the police must therefore step up security for his safety immediately.”

In a statement later, Anwar pointed out that Sanjeevan had allegedly been attached by four parang-wielding men on April 11 at a hotel basement in Kuala Lumpur. A few suspicious-looking men had then allegedly tailed him at the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal in Sepang.

Anwar called on the police to investigate Sanjeevan's claim that police personnel are involved in drug syndicates, adding that mafia-styles execution are becoming rampant.

On April 26, Customs deputy director-general Shahruddin Ibrahim, like Sanjeevan, had been shot by two men on a motorcycle at a junction in Putrajaya. Shahruddin did not survive the attack.
