By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Former Universiti Brunei Darussalam lecturer Dr Abd Aziz Hanafi was in critical condition at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital yesterday afternoon, said family members.

He was reported to be suffering from kidney ailments and other illnesses when admitted last week.

Dr Abd Aziz is expected to return next Friday. He will help with the curriculum of Arabic primary schools and another project for a one-month period.

He often gives religious talks not only on television and the radio, but in mosques as well, especially at dawn and dusk.

People remember the high-profiler for his funny quips. "It's hard to fall asleep when Dr Abd Aziz Hanafi delivers religious talks," said an avid listener.

Shortly after finishing his contract in this country years ago, Dr Abd Aziz Hanafi was appointed as the Director of Kolej Islam Darul Ulum (Kidu) at Kompleks Pendidikan Islam, Muassasah Darul Ulum near Alor Setar in Kedah.

A former lecturer of Academy Islam at Universiti Malaya, he is currently the Deputy Commissioner of PAS Perlis, an Islamic political party in Malaysia.

He contested the last general election for Parlimen Arau, Perlis but lost to a BN candidate.
