PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak has been admitted to Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) after testing positive for Covid-19.
According to Astro Awani, Najib’s special officer, Mukhlis Maghribi, said Najib complained of a fever on Tuesday and was later taken to HKL.
The hospital confirmed Najib contracted Covid-19. He is in stable condition and is under quarantine.
Mukhlis thanked the prison authorities and HKL for their prompt action on behalf of Najib’s family.
Najib is serving a 12-year prison sentence after the Federal Court upheld his conviction for misappropriating over RM42 million from SRC International Sdn Bhd last August.
