PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim has offered his prayers for the wellbeing of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who had been hospitalised at the National Heart Institute (IJN).

Anwar posted on his social media that he prayed that the former prime minister, better known as Pak Lah, 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 today.

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 was hospitalised after being diagnosed with spontaneous pneumothorax.

Khairy added 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 a former health minister. – 25 April, 2024.
