Thu 27 January 2022:
Mahathir Mohamad’s health is “improving,” according to his spokesperson on Tuesday.
“His appetite has also improved and he is interacting well with the family,” Sufi Yusuff, spokesperson of the former Malaysian prime minister, told Anadolu Agency over the phone from Kuala Lumpur.
Yusuff said Mahathir “has been in and out of hospital” since Jan. 15.
Currently, Mahathir, 96, is admitted to National Heart Institute in the Malaysian capital.
“Excellency Mahathir thanked everyone for their prayers,” Yusuff said.
There have been many unconfirmed reports making rounds on social media regarding the health of the world’s oldest prime minister, who led Malaysia to unprecedented economic growth.
On Dec. 16, the former premier was admitted to the institute. In 2006, he had a heart attack, and the following year, he had another.
Mahathir was Malaysia’s fourth and seventh prime minister.
He was the country’s longest-serving prime minister, having served from July 1981 to October 2003, and then again from May 2018 to March 2020, for a total of 24 years.
