Kelantan Local Government, Housing and Health Committee chairperson Dr Izani Husin has claimed that the mentally ill who are homeless are not infected with Covid-19 as they have developed stronger immunity from living in filthy conditions.

In a strange exchange in the Kelantan state legislative assembly, Izani (PAS - Kijang) said this when answering a question on the conditions of mental health patients in Kelantan during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad (Umno-Kok Lanas) in a supplementary question had asked how homeless orang gila (crazy people) were not infected with Covid-19 despite not following the standard operating procedures (SOP).
