Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg said former governor Abdul Taib Mahmud is currently undergoing medical treatment at home with the assistance of nurses and doctors from a hospital.
According to the state communications unit, Abang Johari (above) has yet to meet Taib but said he believes the latter is still undergoing treatment with the assistance of nurses and doctors from Normah Medical Specialist Centre.
“His condition is okay, but he is sick. I have not yet received a report (on his current health status). You have to ask the doctor,” he added.
This morning Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said allegations that Taib had been abducted from the hospital were absurd.
While acknowledging police reports had been lodged by Taib’s family members, he said the fact that the octogenarian is at home in Demak Jaya rules out kidnapping.
He added that Taib's children and relatives can visit him at his home where he said there are a doctor and nurse present.
Taken out of hospital
Taib was reportedly being treated at the specialist centre’s intensive care unit in Kuching when his wife Raghad Kurdi Taib allegedly removed him from the hospital late Saturday evening.
According to a police report lodged by a doctor, Raghad had allegedly removed all medications attached to Taib without alerting hospital staff.
He was then put in a wheelchair and brought out of the hospital.
A second police report by another family member of Taib’s was reportedly lodged on Sunday based on the first report.
According to the second police report, Taib’s siblings and four children were not aware of his whereabouts and health condition.
Following this, Raghad issued a statement on Instagram denying she took her husband out of the hospital against doctors’ advice.
She claimed to have proof in the form of a handwritten nurse’s note.
She later alleged that she was the target of malicious slander which sought to tarnish her image.
Raghad also denied accusations that she was planning to flee the country. - Mkini
