On Sunday, the office of former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad announced that he has been hospitalized due to fatigue. This comes after various media outlets reported that he had exited a picnic celebration early, which was held in honor of his upcoming 100th birthday.
Mahathir, who led Malaysia for over two decades, has had a history of heart issues and has undergone multiple bypass surgeries. He has been hospitalized several times in recent years, with the last instance occurring in October when he was treated for a respiratory infection.
Currently, he is under observation at the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur for fatigue-related concerns. His office released a statement saying, “He is resting, but we expect him back home by this evening.”
A physician by training who served in Parliament until 2022, Mahathir drove himself to the celebration, which also commemorated the 99th birthday of his wife, Hasmah Mohd Ali, the day before. Local reports indicated that he engaged in cycling for an hour before appearing fatigued. His actual birthday fell on Thursday.
Mahathir initially served as prime minister for 22 years until 2003. He returned to power in 2018, leading the opposition coalition to a significant electoral victory, but his government fell apart in less than two years due to internal conflicts.
