Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Admitted to Hospital for Health Check-up
Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday to undergo a health check-up. This news was confirmed by his office through an official statement to the media.
His hospital admission comes just one day after the passing of his beloved wife, Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali. However, his office did not provide detailed information regarding his actual health condition, though they stated that he is under the observation of doctors.
Tun Dr. Mahathir, who is now 99 years old, is a highly influential political figure in Malaysian history. He served as Prime Minister twice and is often the focus of media attention due to his commitment to national issues, even though he no longer holds an official position.
Many parties, including Malaysians and political leaders, have expressed their condolences over the loss of his wife and have prayed for his good health. The hospital is expected to continue monitoring his condition from time to time.
As of now, no further statement has been issued regarding how long he will need to remain in the hospital. The public is asked to respect his family's privacy throughout this difficult period.
