Dr M at IJN for observation
The 101-year-old former prime minister was admitted to IJN yesterday.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, aged 101, has been admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) for observation, according to his son, Mokhzani. The decision comes after the 101-year-old underwent heart bypass operations in 1989 and 2007 and has a history of heart ailments. Mokhzani informed Bernama of the admission, stating that Mahathir was resting at the IJN.
His wife, Dr Hasmah Ali, passed away at the IJN on Monday morning at the age of 100. She received a state funeral and was laid to rest at Pusara Negara in Putrajaya. Hasmah's death was met with tributes, with many praising her warmth, grace, and contributions to the nation. The former prime minister expressed surprise at her passing, as he believed she was well the day before.
In January, Mahathir suffered a hip fracture after a fall at home. He opted for physiotherapy instead of surgery due to his age.
