In recent years, he has been hospitalised repeatedly for health problems. According to information provided by his office, he has been kept under observation at the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur due to fatigue problems.
The office issued a statement saying, "He is currently resting and we hope he will return home by evening." According to local media reports, Mahathir, who was a member of parliament until 2022, drove himself to the picnic event.
