KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad is in a stable condition after undergoing treatment at the National Heart Institute, his daughter said in a statement on Saturday.

"Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali (his wife) and family ask for the people to pray for his speedy and full recovery," Marina said.
A spokesperson for Mahathir earlier said he was admitted to the cardiac care unit at the hospital but gave no details.
