In a statement, IJN said the 92yearold Pakatan Harapan chairman was being treated in the general ward following a bad bout of cough. “Dr Mahathir will be warded for a few days to allow for treatment and observation. Dr Mahathir was supposed to be at a Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia programme in Bentong yesterday but cancelled his appearance the night before following doctors’ advice. On Facebook, netizen Colin Choong urged Dr Mahathir to take time off to relax and recharge before going back to politics. Jeffrey Lee Sgi wished for Dr Mahathir to have a good rest while Aru Arumugam hoped that he would be back to good health as soon as possible.
