Veteran Malaysian leader gets admitted to hospital after hip injury


(MENAFN) Veteran Malaysian leader and former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has been hospitalized following a hip fracture, according to his aide.

After a medical evaluation, it was confirmed that Mahathir, who turned 100 last July, “suffered a fracture to the right hip,” said Sufi Yusoff in a statement. Mahathir is expected to remain at the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur for treatment and observation over the coming weeks.

The injury occurred early Tuesday morning at around 7:30 a.m. (0330 GMT) when Mahathir fell inside his home. He was transported to the hospital approximately two hours later.

Mahathir, who served as Malaysia’s prime minister twice, has a history of medical procedures, including heart bypass surgeries. In July 2025, he was admitted to the IJN after experiencing fatigue during a picnic in Putrajaya.
