Below is a report from the Star today:

Kong Choy on medical leave

PUTRAJAYA: Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy has gone on a two-week leave due to health reasons.

He needs to go abroad for a medical check-up and consultation, his press secretary Ng Kok Wai said in a statement Wednesday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi approved the leave, said Ng.

Chinese daily Guang Ming Daily News has a different approach on the issue.

It is reported in the Chinese daily that it is learnt that Chan was severely pressurised from various issues including the RM4.6 billion PKFZ scandal and road accidents involving bus drivers.

连串课题压力大,陈广才请病假2周
Updated:2007-08-29 19:44:38 MYT

(八打灵再也讯)交通部长拿督斯里陈广才基於健康理由,即日起请假两周赴国外进行医药谘询检查。

交通部於周三(29日)发文告指陈广才已向首相请病假两周,於周一(27日)远赴国外接受医药谘询检查,惟文告却没有透露部长所患的疾病。

据悉,最近的一连串课题,如巴生港口自由贸易区事件、长途巴士频频车祸意外曝露当局执法不力等,也对陈广才带来不轻的工作压力。

消息说,陈广才是在医生朋友的劝告下,叫他暂且放下繁重工作,好好寻求医药谘询。

注重饮食爱运动

另外,据知,近年来陈广才非常注重身体健康,体重也减轻了逾十公斤,在晚宴上也甚少食用肉类及油脂偏高的食物。

部长曾在一些晚宴上向记者披露,他现在吃得很清淡,在晚宴上喝一碗红豆冰对他来说已是破例了,平日他只喝水果汁。

同时,部长平日也热爱以跑步机作为健身器材,也让他近年来看起来更健硕了。 (光明日报?2007.08.29)
