Najib attends routine checkups at KL Hospital

Najib - the Altantuya case has re-surfaced of late

KUALA LUMPUR — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak continues to attend routine checkups at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where he had been admitted for three days last week for superficial ulcers and mild gastritis, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said today.

“The prime minister’s health is improving and he is responding well to treatment. However, he has to undergo several routine checkups,” he told reporters after Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin had opened the Ampang Hospital here.

Liow said Najib would return to work only after the medical specialists attending to him certified that the prime minister had recovered fully.

Najib, who is resting at home, contracted chicken pox late last month, and suffered from the ulcers and gastritis as a result. — Bernama
