KUALA LUMPUR: Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is resting at the National Heart Institute (IJN) due to fatigue, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“Well, he is feeling a bit tired. So, he is just resting at the IJN,” said the Prime Minister briefly during his exit press conference on the 46th Asean Summit and Related Summits at the KL Convention Centre yesterday.
Sultan Hassanal has been attending a series of meetings related to the 46th Asean Summit and Related Summits since Monday.
The Brunei Sultan was attending the 16th Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA), which started at 8.30am yesterday.
During the BIMP-EAGA event, Sultan Hassanal was seen being assisted by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto as he was walking down the stairs from the stage.
The clip of Prabowo assisting Sultan Hassanal has raised questions among netizens.
It is understood that the Brunei Sultan was admitted to IJN between the Asean-GCC and Asean-GCC-China Summits that took place yesterday afternoon.
The 46th Asean Summit and Related Summits ended yesterday with a gala dinner hosted by Anwar.
