Former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob was rushed to Sunway Medical Centre Kota Damansara following a collapse at his residence in the early hours of Saturday. The incident, which occurred around 2.30am, was attributed to high blood pressure as stated by his press secretary, Azran Fitri Abdul Rahim.
Ismail Sabri, aged 65, has been reported to be in stable condition and is now fully conscious, although doctors insist on keeping him under careful observation. As a precautionary measure, hospital authorities have limited visits to only immediate family members to ensure he receives an undisturbed recovery.
Known for his extensive political career, Ismail Sabri served as Malaysia's ninth prime minister from August 2021 until November 2022 and has been a member of parliament representing Bera, Pahang since 2004. With a professional background in law, he has also held prominent roles as a director on various government boards, including those focused on development and tourism promotion.
