Dr Mahathir Doing Well But Remain In Hospital

3rd October 2010, Sunday

MELBOURNE - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will remain hospitalised in Australia for the "next few days" for observation.  

His special officer Sufi Yusoff said the former prime minister is responding well to treatment and is in good condition.  

Dr. Mahathir is undergoing treatment at a hospital here for a chest infection.

He was admitted to Epworth Hospital on Friday night.  He is being warded at the general ward for antibiotics treatment and physiotherapy.  

Dr Mahathir, 85, arrived here several days ago accompanied by his wife Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali to adress a seminar on human development organised by the Australia Melbourne UMNO Club at the University of Melbourne, scheduled for yesterday.  

mukapetang: Alhamdulillah the former prime minister is now resting.  I really hate speculation especially by the PAS people in the Blackberry Group.  This is my statement taken from the BB Group regarding Tun Dr Mahathir.  I hope he will recover and get well soon.  May Allah be with him.
