Doctors Confirm Elective Surgery Success, PM Anwar Under Strict Medical Watch

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 – Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has successfully undergone elective laparoscopic surgery to treat an abdominal para umbilical hernia, his medical team confirmed today.

The procedure was carried out smoothly under the care of specialist doctors.

Anwar is currently undergoing physiotherapy and remains under close observation, Datuk Dr Asri Ranga bin Abdullah Ramaiah, head of the Prime Minister’s medical team, confirmed.

Earlier today, Senior Press Secretary, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said Anwar was undergoing examinations and procedures on the advice of a team of medical specialists.

“Let us pray that all matters relating to YAB Prime Minister’s examinations and procedures are made easier and that he is blessed with lasting good health so that he can return to carrying out his duties as usual in the near future, God willing,” Tunku Nashrul said.

The announcement came on Anwar’s 79th birthday. He was born on August 10, 1947, and has served as prime minister since November 24, 2022.

Anwar underwent a routine medical examination in January, when doctors said he was in good health and able to continue his official duties as scheduled.

Anwar has previously received treatment for back and shoulder problems. In June 2018, he was hospitalised after experiencing shoulder and back pain, according to the Reuters news agency.

The following month, he underwent spinal surgery in Istanbul and was scheduled for surgery on his right shoulder for a rotator cuff injury.
