PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak was treated for a lung infection but has since been discharged.
According to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity, the former Pekan MP had been suffering from a lung infection for about two weeks.
Najib was warded at Hospital Kuala Lumpur since Friday but was discharged today.
“He’s had a bad lung infection and was treated with intravenous antibiotic drips for a few days,” the source told FMT.
Meanwhile, his lawyer, Farhan Muhammad Shafee, told Malay Mail that Najib was recovering.
Najib began his 12-year prison term on Aug 23 last year after the Federal Court upheld his conviction for misappropriating RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd.
He is scheduled to appear in court on March 31 when the Federal Court will deliver its ruling on his bid to review the conviction and sentence in the case.
