Perlis executive councillor in charge of health Jafperi Othman denied today that a Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) recipent fainted in the state yesterday.

Instead, Jafperi said, the person became giddy because she had skipped her breakfast.

"She did not faint, she felt giddy because she didn't eat anything. It's not something that should end up in the news," he told Malaysiakini.
