KUALA LUMPUR: Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has returned back to his home country and was in a "good condition", Malaysian premier Anwar Ibrahim said late on Tuesday (June 3).
Sultan Hassanal was admitted to hospital in Kuala Lumpur a week ago due to fatigue, though his office had insisted the world's longest-serving monarch was in "good health".
Anwar said he visited the Sultan Tuesday afternoon "before he departed for Bandar Seri Begawan."
"Praise be to God, His Majesty is in good condition and the recovery process went well after (he was) discharged," Anwar posted on Facebook.
The 78-year-old sultan was in Kuala Lumpur for the Asean Summit.
A statement from the Brunei prime minister's office -- a position held by the sultan -- last week said the monarch had been feeling tired and that Malaysian health experts had advised him to rest for a few days at the National Heart Institute. - AFP
