He’s suffered three heart attacks, in fact; one in 1989, and two in 2006. He has undergone two bypass surgeries, the first at Kuala Lumpur Hospital in 1989 and the second at IJN in 2007.

He has also been hospitalised several times for chest infection, the most recent of which came in 2018 when he was admitted to the IJN.
