Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s health is showing further signs of improvement, according to his daughter Marina Mahathir.
“His appetite is improving, and he managed to crack jokes with family members who are with him at the National Heart Institute (IJN),” she said in a statement today.
The activist said Mahathir has also been told about the well-wishes pouring in from foreign dignitaries as well as members of the public, and both he and the family are touched by the wishes.
For the time being, however, IJN is still not allowing visitors apart from his closest family members.
“He (Mahathir) has asked people not to be too worried about his health condition.
“Mahathir will continue to receive treatment at IJN under the supervision of local experts,” she said.
Mahathir (above) was admitted to IJN on Jan 20 but the circumstances surrounding his latest hospitalisation remain unclear.
This is the third time he has been admitted to IJN in a month.
The Pejuang chairperson – who will turn 97 in July – was admitted to IJN for a full medical check-up and further observation last Dec 16 and spent a week there before being discharged on Dec 23.
He was subsequently admitted to IJN for an elective procedure on Jan 7 and was discharged on Jan 13. - Mkini
