KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian King, Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who underwent treatment at the National Heart Institute (IJN), was discharged Friday. Istana Negara’s (national palace's) Comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said His Majesty, who was accompanied by the Queen Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, left the institute at 12.40 pm. “Alhamdulillah, (praise to God) His Majesty has gradually recovered. On the advice of IJN medical experts, His Majesty will rest at Istana Negara," he told Bernama when contacted. According to Ahmad Fadil, Al-Sultan Abdullah had performed the Friday prayers as soon as he arrived at Istana Negara. His Majesty was admitted to the IJN on Sept 21 to undergo food poisoning and intervention treatment, following a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on Sept 22 which showed that he had suffered injuries while playing sports. -- BERNAMA
