KUALA LUMPUR – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) yesterday evening is currently undergoing several tests which will be completed over the next few days.

The former prime minister will remain in IJN until then.

Due to the current standard operating procedures, no one is allowed to visit Dr Mahathir.
