  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is currently undergoing medical examinations and procedures, according to his aide's statement on Monday (Aug 10). The medical team has set out the specific tests and treatments, but no further details have been disclosed. In a press release, the official expressed hope for Anwar's swift recovery and return to his duties. Born on Monday and serving since 2022, Anwar has a history of recurring shoulder and back issues. He was hospitalized in 2018 for similar complaints and had to cancel a trip to Pahang state last November due to back pain. Despite a clean bill of health in January after a routine check-up, the Prime Minister's condition remains a topic of concern.",
