Anwar mohon maaf tak hadir sidang khas bahas RCI Tabung Haji

Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim is recuperating and will continue his physiotherapy under the supervision of a medical team. The Deputy Chief of the Prime Minister's Office, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, announced that Anwar has apologized for his inability to attend the special Parlimen session to discuss the report of the Royal Malaysian Audit Commission (RCI) concerning the Tabung Haji.

"Alhamdulillah, the Prime Minister's health is improving and he will continue with his physiotherapy under the supervision of a medical team," he said in a statement. Nonetheless, Anwar pleaded for the smooth conduct of the session. "He will attend the discussion closely to ensure the credibility of this institution of the Muslim nation is maintained," he added.

Tunku Nashrul also conveyed that Anwar expressed gratitude to all those praying for his well-being and sent birthday wishes on his 79th birthday yesterday. Yesterday, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) suggested a special Parlimen session to present the RCI report related to Tabung Haji, which would be postponed until Anwar recovers and can attend the Dewan Rakyat.

PN's Whip, Takiyuddin Hassan, stated that presenting the report was a matter for Anwar as he had previously raised the issue publicly. TN's Parliamentary Secretary, Dr Asri Ranga Abdullah Ramaiah, explained that Anwar was doing well after undergoing an elective laparoscopic surgery for his stomach hernia.
