Friendly visit: Lee speaking to Muhyiddin and Noorainee at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.

PETALING JAYA: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong recently visited Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is warded at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in the island nation.

In a posting on his Facebook on Friday, Lee shared a photo taken by the city state’s Prime Minister’s Office.

“I visited Malaysian Home Minister Muh­yid­din Yassin yesterday (Thursday). He is recovering in the hospital here after an opera­tion. Glad that it was successful, and that he is doing well,” said Lee.

Muhyiddin’s wife, Puan Sri Noorainee Ab­­dul Rahman, was also present.

Muhyiddin is recovering from an operation to extract a pancreatic tumour, which was detected at an early stage.

In wishing Muhyiddin a speedy recovery, Lee also shared his own doctor’s advice, as a two-time cancer survivor.

“I shared with him my own doctor’s advice when I was ill – eat in moderation, but no need for any pantang (taboos) about food. I remember even enjoying durian,” he said.
