LOOKING FIT & TRIM, ANWAR GETS A STRING OF KIND-HEARTED VISITORS INCLUDING KIT SIANG, JOHOR SULTAN, FT MUFTI: MAY HE REMEMBER TO PUT HEALTH FIRST & BE PATIENT – WHAT ELSE CAN STOP HIM IF HE STAYS CALM & SINCERE & FAR AWAY FROM NAJIB & ZAHID

PETALING JAYA: DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang has visited PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Istanbul, Turkey, where he is recovering from surgery to his shoulder.

On his Facebook page Saturday (July 28), Anwar posted a picture of himself, with his arm still in a sling, standing next to Lim.

“Thank you to my old friend Lim Kit Siang as well for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come and visit. We managed to discuss a number of contemporaneous issues.

“I admire his active spirit. May he be blessed with longevity and a safe trip back home,” he added in an accompanying message.

Anwar had also posted another photo about two hours earlier of him with Federal Territories mufti Datuk Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, who also paid him a visit while he was in the Turkish capital city.

“I am honoured by the gracious visit from Sahibus Samahah Mufti of Federal Territories while he was attending to matters in Istanbul. Discussions ranging upon contemporary global issues including views revolving around the situation in Malaysia. Thank you Dato’ for your time and du’a. Barakallah,” Anwar posted.

Anwar is recovering from a ‘reverse shoulder replacement surgery’ performed on July 12, which is part of the treatment for an earlier spinal surgery procedure.

He suffers from lumbar central stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows, causing pain and numbness.

His daughter Nurul Izzah Anwar said on July 25 that the surgeries were successful and Anwar will return to Malaysia as soon as he can. – ANN

The de-facto PKR adviser who had undergone a spinal surgery procedure and an operation to his right shoulder there recently had gone to the hospital for an appointment with the doctor.

“The panel of doctors are satisfied with the progress of my health and have allowed me to go back home.

“His Majesty was introduced to the panel of doctors and he thanked them for my good treatment,” he said in a Facebook post on Saturday (July 28) night that included a picture of both Anwar and Sultan Ibrahim.

Anwar had previously said that he has lumbar central stenosis, where the spinal canal narrows, causing pain and numbness.

Anwar also has central disk herniation – also known as a slipped disc – that can cause severe neck or lower back pain.- ANN
