Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) for treatment of an infection.

In a post on Mahathir's official Facebook page today, two photos were shared showing him going through some files at the ward.

“Mahathir writing and going through some files at his hospital ward at the IJN on Thursday.

“Mahathir was admitted on Tuesday and treated for infection,” it said.

The 98-year-old former Langkawi MP was admitted to IJN in January last year to undergo an elective medical procedure.

Mahathir was again admitted to IJN after he was confirmed positive for Covid-19 in August last year.
