Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) on Wednesday for routine medical treatment. The 101-year-old is reportedly in stable condition, though press secretary Sufi Yusoff noted he has been fatigued and lacks sufficient rest. The combination of exhaustion, grief following his wife's passing, and the sweltering heat could be problematic for someone of his age.
Dr Mahathir was initially reported to have entered the hospital earlier that day. His late wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, also met her end at the IJN at the age of 100. She leaves behind seven children. After a pioneering medical career, she was laid to rest in Putrajaya National Cemetery with full state honors.
