KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has conveyed his well wishes to
Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi after the latter was hospitalised at the National Heart Institute (IJN).
In an update on his offical Facebook, he prayed that the former prime minister to be spared from any difficulty.
"Praying for Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to be given 'afiyah'(to be saved from any affliction) soon, and for him to be given strength and for all his dealings to be eased, God Willing," he said on Facebook today.
It was reported that Abdullah has been warded at IJN's critical care unit (CCU) after being diagnosed with lung issues.
His son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, said today that Abdullah, better known as Pak Lah, was hospitalised after being diagnosed with spontaneous pneumothorax.
In an Instagram Story posting, Khairy said Abdullah was in stable condition but needed to be warded in the CCU for observation.
"Alhamdulillah, he is in good condition but needs sufficient rest.
"On behalf of the family, we appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement. However, he is unable to receive visitors for the moment," said Khairy, who was former health minister.
