“Azizah and I pray for Tun’s health and swift recovery, Insya-Allah,” Anwar said in a brief Facebook post.

Earlier today, Mahathir’s aide Suffi Yusoff said he remained conscious after the fall and was taken to IJN by ambulance.

He said the fall occurred when Mahathir was moving from his balcony to the living room.

Mahathir, 100, has made multiple visits to IJN, the latest on July 13 last year after experiencing fatigue while attending a picnic and potluck in Putrajaya to celebrate his 100th birthday and the 99th birthday of his wife, Dr Hasmah Ali.

He left the event early after participating in activities such as cycling, and was taken to IJN for observation. He was discharged later the same day.

In a later update, Suffi said medical assessment confirmed that Mahathir suffered a fracture to the right hip.

“Tun is expected to be admitted for the next few weeks for treatment and observation,” he said via WhatsApp.
