Najib Razak to undergo procedure to remove plaque near blood vessel

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is set to undergo a medical procedure to remove plaque located near a blood vessel, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor announced. She conveyed her family's deep appreciation for the public's concern, prayers, and messages of support for Najib during this time.

"He is scheduled to undergo a medical procedure to remove plaque found near a blood vessel," Rosmah stated in a Facebook post. "At this moment, I ask that everyone continue to pray for all his affairs and the procedure he is about to undergo to be made easy, proceed smoothly, and for him to be granted health and strength."

Rosmah also extended her thanks to Najib's friends, colleagues, and supporters for their continuous thoughts, affection, and prayers. Earlier media reports indicated that the former prime minister was experiencing heart issues and was slated for a related procedure the following week.

Najib is currently serving a prison sentence following his conviction in the SRC International case. In February 2024, the Pardons Board commuted his 12-year jail sentence to six years and reduced his fine from RM210 million to RM50 million. He withdrew his application for house arrest in April.
