FORMER MIC president S. Samy Vellu was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) today, said his press secretary, E. Sivabalan.

He said Samy Vellu, 82, has been placed under medical observation for a few days.

“Tun came to his office at KL Sentral after attending a family event held at his house today. Then, he vomited and I took him to IJN for further tests.

“I assure you, there is nothing to worry. He is doing fine. He just needs to rest,” he told Bernama. He was responding to a viral message on social media that the special envoy for infrastructure to India and South Asia had suffered a heart attack. – Bernama, June 5, 2018.
