As for Pandelela, the national diver threw it back to the time during the 45-year-old politician’s stint as the Youth and Sports Minister.

According to Hype.my, Pandelela’s revelation came in response to a social media post uploaded by Twitter user @khairul_hafidz. He tweeted, “Spotted in Hospital Kajang. This is what we call a real surprise visit. Some of the staff would surely have had their hearts ‘pop out of their chest’ seeing the minister arriving for a visit. Good job YB @Khairykj.”
