| 2010-10-03 |
| Former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad was admitted to hospital for chest infection Saturday during a trip to Australia, where he was scheduled to address a seminar, according to an aide. The 85-year-old was admitted to the general ward in a Melbourne hospital for antibiotics treatment and physiotheraphy, his aide Sufi Yusof said in a statement. "Dr Mahathir's condition is stable and he has been advised to rest," said the aide, adding that the former Malaysian leader is expected to remain in hospital for a few days for observation. Mahathir arrived in Melbourne Thursday and was slated to address a seminar on human development organised by a club linked to Malaysia's ruling party, the United Malays National Organisation. |
