Overview
- In a podcast shared on Instagram, the former Malaysian leader said he lost control of his right leg during exercise and fell at home.
- He said the fall caused a hip fracture and a head injury and led to treatment at the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur.
- Describing his recovery, he said he can stand after about three months but still cannot control the leg and it feels like having no legs.
- His son, Mukhriz, said clinicians decided against surgery because of his advanced age, which he said means a longer recovery.
- He turned 100 in July 2025, a milestone that helps explain cautious care decisions and continued public interest in his condition.
