PETALING JAYA - Malaysia's former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad thought he was not going to make it whenA doctor himself, the 96-year-old said he did not know how the medical team managed to help him regain his health.
"But somehow, the doctors turned me around and eventually I was discharged and am quite well - not 100 per cent, but enough for me to continue with the little work that I have to do," he said during an appreciation ceremony for the medical experts and staff who had treated him. "This is something that we can feel very proud of because you don't need to go elsewhere. In Malaysia, we have specialists to treat cases such as mine which are very serious," he added.
