“He is currently undergoing physiotherapy and remains under the supervision of the medical specialist team to ensure a smooth recovery,” said team leader Dr Asri Ranga Abdullah Ramaiah.

According to Free Malaysia Today (FMT), Anwar has a history of shoulder and back problems.

He was hospitalised for shoulder and back pain in 2018 and called off a trip to Pahang last November after back pain that limited his movement.

In January, Anwar was given a clean bill of health after undergoing a routine check-up at Sultan Idris Shah Hospital in Serdang. — DayakDaily
