Governor Edy suspected that Haykal and Zakira's illness was related to gold mining activities in the two kids' villages.

"Tomorrow, because this afternoon I don't want to, because I am too tired to be taken to the hospital. On average, in this village (Mandailing Natal) gold mining activities are above", he said.

However, Governor Edy was reluctant to discuss whether the gold mining activities in the two kids' villages were illegal. He just made sure, starting tomorrow the team will work to find out Haykal and Zakira's disease.

"But we can't talk about it (illegal). We'll make sure tomorrow the doctor comes to the laboratory, we see, we have to diagnose and we know what the pain is", he said

Meanwhile, the mother of Haykal and Zakira, Nisa, said she was happy that her two children had been visited by the Governor of North Sumatra.

"I'm glad that the Governor has come, I hope that you can find a solution for Haykal's treatment to overcome this disease. Let Haykal and Zakira recover from their illness, just be happy", said Nisa.
