KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed that Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is receiving treatment at the National Heart Institute (IJN).
Speaking at a press conference during the Asean Summit, Anwar said the 78-year-old monarch was feeling “a bit tired” and is currently resting at the medical facility.
“Well, he’s feeling a bit tired, so he’s resting at the IJN,” he said, responding to media reports of the Sultan’s admission.
Earlier, AFP reported that the Sultan had been hospitalised between the Asean-GCC and Asean-GCC-China summits.
Both meetings are being held in conjunction with the 46th Asean Summit, hosted by Malaysia.
