Overview

• Mahathir Mohamad, 100, was admitted to the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur on July 13 after feeling fatigued at a public picnic celebrating his centenary.
• His office said he drove himself to the event, cycled for about an hour and left early due to tiredness rather than a serious health crisis.
• He has a long history of heart problems, including multiple bypass surgeries and a respiratory infection that led to hospitalization in October.
• His son, Mokhzani Mahathir, said the fatigue resulted from a prior function and lack of sleep rather than an acute medical issue.
• Officials expect him to be discharged by the evening of July 13 and to continue resting at home under medical observation.
