PETALING JAYA - The bodyguard who put his own life on the line and was shot while saving travel agency owner Farah Md Isa at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has undergone a successful operation.

Muhammmad Nur Hadith, also known as Along, underwent intestinal surgery at around 11.30am on April 16, his wife Siti Noraida Hassan told The Star.

“The operation finished at around 4.30pm. He will be under observation for five to six days. He may also need dialysis temporarily. There were also injuries to the spleen,” she said.

“His condition is stable at this moment. Please pray for my husband’s full recovery,” she said, adding that he had not yet regained consciousness following the operation.

Along was rushed to the Cyberjaya Hospital on April 14 after he was shot in the stomach at KLIA.

One of the bullets fired hit him in the stomach, while the other shot missed the target, Ms Farah.

Police arrested the suspect, 38-year-old Hafizul Harawi, after a two-day manhunt in Kota Baru at 3pm on April 15. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
