Doctors have advised against surgery for Mahathir Mohamad’s fractured hip due to his age, according to his son, Mukhriz Mahathir.
Mukhriz clarified in a video posted on Wednesday that while a hip fracture was sustained, “due to his age of 100 years, an operation is not a wise option”.
Instead, Mahathir is expected to remain in hospital for two to three weeks for recovery.
His press secretary Sufi Yusoff confirmed via WhatsApp that Mahathir remained conscious throughout his transfer to the medical facility.
Over the last 24 months, Mahathir has been hospitalised on at least two occasions.
