KUALA LUMPUR: After performing Friday prayers at al-Firdaus Mosque in Bandar Baru Selayang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim proceeded to the National Heart Institute (IJN) to pay a visit to Pas president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang and the Prime Minister's friend, British scholar Professor Ziauddin Sardar, who were receiving treatment there.
However, the Prime Minister said he was unable to meet Abdul Hadi as the Marang MP was on dialysis after undergoing several health procedures.
"I found out from the doctor that Abdul Hadi is in stable condition and today he is getting a dialysis while Ziauddin is waiting for a decision on his procedure.
"We prayed for their speedy recovery and be back to carry out their duties as usual," he told reporters after visiting them in IJN here today.
Abdul Hadi, 76, has had a heart checkup and been receiving dialysis treatment since Jan 1.
Ziauddin, 72, who is an award-winning writer, was considered as an important intellectual in the United Kingdom. He had served as an advisor to Anwar when he was the deputy prime minister in the 90s. – BERNAMA
