ALOR STAR: One of the two critically injured women paratroopers who parachuted into the sea during an exercise for the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima) 2007, is reported to be in stable condition at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital here.
Hospital director Dr Che Pah Ahmad said that Zaliza Zakaria, 23, who was admitted on Sunday evening, was still in the intensive care unit.
She said that Zaliza, who did not suffer any physical injury, regained consciousness after midnight.
“She suffered respiratory problems after swallowing water when she parachuted into the sea. We have cleared her lungs and she has been breathing normally since this morning,” she said.
Zaliza’s father, Zakaria Othman, 52, said his daughter managed to utter a few words when he saw her yesterday morning.
“She was still weak but she could move her limbs,” he said.
“Zaliza has been a paratrooper for four years. I have always supported her interest,” he said.
It is learnt that the other critically injured paratrooper, Suraya Ali, 23, is in Langkawi Hospital and in stable condition.
