KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 18 — Serdang’s Sultan Idris Shah Hospital declared Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to be in good health after a routine health check-up.

In a statement, the hospital said: “The results of the examination confirmed that the Prime Minister’s health is at an excellent level, enabling continuation of all official duties as scheduled.”

The hospital also noted that the visit reflected the prime minister’s “ongoing commitment to maintaining personal fitness and well-being, ensuring the ability to lead the country and fulfil responsibilities to the people with utmost dedication and diligence.”
