KUCHING – Former Sarawak governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud is currently undergoing medical treatment at home with the assistance of nurses and doctors from a hospital, according to Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“I have not met him but I believe that he is still undergoing treatment with assistance of nurses and doctors from Normah (Medical Specialist Centre).
“His condition is okay, but he is sick,” he told reporters when met after officiating at the Hari Perkhidmatan Awam celebration at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching today.
Abang Johari reassured that Taib’s condition is “satisfactory” according to information provided.
“I have not yet received a report (on his current health status). You have to ask the doctor.”
Taib, a prominent political figure in Sarawak, served as governor for several years.
His health has been a subject of public interest, with allegations of purported “kidnapping” and accusations against Taib’s wife, Syrian-born Toh Puan Raghad Kurdi Taib.
Yesterday, Raghad called for an end to speculations and accusations against her, stating that her only concern was caring for her husband.
She earlier denied removing Taib from hospital against doctors’ advice. – February 7, 2024
