00:00Initially smiling as he cycled on a tandem bike,
00:11Thun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad eventually became fatigued
00:14during his birthday celebration in Putrajaya on Sunday.

00:21to the National Heart Institute, IJN, around 10 a.m. on Sunday to rest.

00:32The public picnic and potluck event,
00:34held near the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya,

00:44when he began feeling unwell after participating in a short cycling session.
00:49Dr. Mahathir's son, Tanshri Mokzani Mahathir,
00:52said his father was likely feeling the effects of back-to-back events over the weekend
00:57and insufficient rest.
00:59I want to ask for forgiveness,
01:00because we had a program in the morning,
01:03and before that, we had a program.
01:05And today, in the morning, we started our program.
01:08Thun, maybe it was a bit hard,
01:10and we could not get to get to all the people who are here today.
01:15It was reported Dr. Mahathir's condition is good,
01:17and he has been advised to rest.
