“My wife and I would like to also thank all who have prayed for my speedy recovery, and those who have conducted hajat prayers for my health.
“I am recovering, thanks to the prayers and efforts of the doctors and the medical staff at IJN, who have worked tirelessly throughout Ramadan. We will never be able to repay all your efforts, but we will always pray that all of you will be blessed by Allah,” he said.
“Once again, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin.”
