KUALA LUMPUR: Members of the press are currently gathered at the National Heart Institute (IJN) to get the latest update on former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's condition.
It is claimed that Dr Mahathir is currently warded at the hospital's Coronary Care Unit (CCU).
The IJN said that it would issue a statement on Dr Mahathir's condition soon.
