Dr M Recovering

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is recovering from his mild heart attack and has been moved out of the intensive care unit, according to media reports and bloggers in the country.

The Star said he's been receiving a steady stream of visitors such as Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang, Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin and former political foe Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

Unfortunately, some quarters think the heart attack wasn't real, and it was just a ploy to avoid going to the general assembly of the United Malays National Organisation next week amid his bickering with successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Dad doesn't believe so. He thinks that Dr M will still love to attend the meeting although many Umno members are likely to back the Umno leader of the day blindly.

Hope he gets well soon.
