Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is currently undergoing medical tests and procedures, with expectations to remain under observation for two days. This information was confirmed by his Press Secretary, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, who noted that further details about the procedures were not disclosed, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.

This announcement coincides with Anwar's 79th birthday, marking a significant day for the Prime Minister, who has been in office since November 2022. Tunku Nashrul expressed hopes for Anwar's "long-lasting health" and for him to resume his duties shortly, as covered by Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Anwar has a history of recurrent shoulder and back issues, including hospitalization in 2018 due to similar complaints. Last year, he had to cancel a trip to Pahang state because of back pain. However, he was reported to have received a clean bill of health earlier this year after a routine examination, according to Reuters, Channel News Asia, and Al Jazeera.
