Marina Mahathir said her 96-year-old father had been readmitted
to hospital and has undergone two days of treatment following an
elective medical procedure in early January.
"Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali (his wife) and family ask for the people
to pray for his speedy and full recovery," Marina said.
A spokesperson for Mahathir earlier said he was admitted to the
cardiac care unit at the hospital but gave no details.
Mahathir, who is still an active lawmaker, had been discharged
from hospital after what was described as an successful elective
medical procedure on Jan.8.
The National Heart Institute did not say at the time what
procedure Mahathir, who has a history of heart problems, had
undergone.
In December, he was admitted and discharged after his doctors
said they were satisfied with the results of necessary
investigations.
