Anwar, who celebrated his 79th birthday on Monday, has a history of health issues, particularly related to his shoulder and back. He was previously hospitalized in 2018 for similar complaints. Last November, he had to cancel some engagements due to recurring shoulder and back problems, indicating a persistent health concern that requires ongoing management.
