Anwar undergoing medical checks, PMO confirms two‑day specialist observation period

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is undergoing medical tests and procedures under the supervision of a team of specialist doctors. According to his Press Secretary, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, Anwar is expected to remain under observation for two days.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed his best wishes for Anwar's speedy recovery. In a post on X, Shehbaz Sharif said that he and the people of Pakistan are praying for Anwar's continued good health and well-being.

Anwar, who turned 79, has a history of shoulder and back problems, having been hospitalised in 2018 for similar issues and cancelling a trip to Pahang state last November due to back pain. However, in January, he was issued a clean bill of health after a routine medical examination.
