An aide to Dr Mahathir Mohamad has refuted rumours that the former prime minister is critically ill, and he has photos to prove it.
In the photos, the 98-year-old was seen reading today’s newspapers and doing some writing.
According to the aide, Mahathir, who was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 26, is recovering from infection.
"I have some updates from IJN with regards to Mahathir's condition.
"Mahathir is still being treated and is in the process of recovering from infection," said the aide.
The photos were also shared on Mahathir’s social media.
