"Elective medical procedure" is planned/routine surgery, not a "hospitalisation" in the sense of how we understand that word i.e. has had a heart attack or stroke etc. Yep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,875 Posted January 13, 2022 Discharged. This article mentions more stuff about his heart problems: he's had three heart attacks (first in 1989 + bypass operation, two in 2006), and that he underwent a quadruple bypass in 2007 (and was in ICU for a month) and regularly seeks treatment at that hospital.

Ulitzer95 12,845 Posted January 23, 2022 Doesn’t help that the Malaysian media keep killing him off in tweets then deleting them. Useless fact about Mahathir Mohamad – he is one of just 4 living people who attended Lady Thatcher’s funeral who were born before her. The other three are Baroness Jill Knight, Henry Kissinger and Lord Henry Plumb. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if he survives this, I don't think he'll have long and the frequent hospitalisations will probably continue. He's almost 97 with a long history of heart issues and seems like his heart is now really running out of time. Another useless fact about him: In 1994 he banned Schindler's List, calling it "anti-German, pro-Jewish propaganda" Seems like he also believes in the NWO conspiracy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,875 Posted March 18, 2022 Mahathir Mohamad's party fails to get a seat in the Johor State Legislative Assembly. He has accused the winning party of corruption and electoral fraud. He survived that January hospitalisation but has lived long enough to see his political career die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
