KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad continues to make progress in his post-surgical rehabilitation process, the National Heart Institute (IJN) said Monday.
IJN said he was now strong enough to sit on a chair and eat better.
"Doctors continue to focus on improving his nutritional status to build his muscle strength before he is put through more exercise sessions," IJN said in a statement.
Dr Mahathir continues to be warded at the intensive care unit and only immediate family members are allowed to visit him.
Dr Mahathir, 81, underwent a wound debridement surgery at the IJN on Sept 22 which was carried out by the same team of consultant surgeons who performed a second coronary bypass operation on him on Sept 4.
Meanwhile, his daughter Datin Paduka Marina said her father had requested to have his meal in private without doctors standing around watching.
She said in her blog that Dr Mahathir's meal this morning comprised scrambled eggs and bread, yoghurt, prune juice and coffee.
