The prime minister’s wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, visited Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali after the latter had undergone surgery at a hospital, according to a tweet.

The tweet, by Mohamed Azmin’s daughter Farah Amira, said Siti Hasmah was with Shamsida Taharin, the wife of the PKR deputy president, at a hospital room but it did not say which hospital it was and what surgery the minister had undergone.

“A picture paints a thousand words, they say. Indeed, Abah @AzminAli in high spirits, from the care, love and affection showered on him by Tun Dr Siti, who came to visit after Abah's surgery.

“Such a gem of a person, Tun Dr Siti is the embodiment of kindness, gentleness, love and compassion as I can see for myself in the way she cares for Abah @AzminAli,” Farah Amira tweeted yesterday.

In a video clip and a photograph uploaded onto the Twitter account, Siti Hasmah is seen in conversation with Mohamed Azmin who is lying on a bed.

According to Farah Amira, her father cannot wait to get back to work.

“Oh dear, I'm not sure if this is a good thing... All this cheering up has put Abah @AzminAli in such high spirits that he says he just can't wait to get back to work,” she tweeted.

Meanwhile, Azmin, in a tweet, expressed his thanks and appreciation to those who had visited him, such as Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Dr Afif Bahardin and Hilman Idham.
