Sultan Pahang in healthy condition, says MB

The Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah, is healthy and in “excellent” condition, said Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob.

He brushed aside allegations that the sultan was ill, as was viralled on the social media.

“The sultan’s vital signs, such as blood pressure and pulse, as well as systemic findings, such as his heart, lungs and kidney are in prime condition.

"He can go out, even though in a wheelchair, but sometimes, he walks. It is just age factor. The sultan just prefers to use the wheelchair and to relax,” he said.

Adnan told this to reporters after attending the presentation of “Bantuan Anak Pahang" at the Felda Kemasul Community Hall in Bentong today.

A video of the Pahang Sultan on his bed during his birthday celebration had gone viral on the social media, giving the impression that he was ill.
