Former M'sian PM Mahathir Mohamad, 88, was admitted to hospital on Monday with a chest infection, his office said.
" The medical team is closely monitoring his condition and is satisfied with his progress," the official Bernama news agency said, citing a statement from Mahathir's Perdana Leadership Foundation research institute.
Mahathir, however, is expected to remain in the National Heart Institute for the next few days. He is receiving treatment and physiotherapy.
Mahathir was the country's 4th and longest-serving PM, in office from 1981 to 2003. He remains an influential figure in M'sian politics.
In 2010 he was admitted to a Melbourne hospital for a similar chest infection while visiting the Australian city to address a seminar.
Mahathir has undergone two coronary bypass surgeries, in 1989 and 2007.

M'sia's best and brightest leaving to find greener pastures. A report released by the World Economic Forum.
Report notes - Putrajaya's affirmative action policies as well as over reliance on cheap migrant labour have kept M'sia from achieving a skilled workforce to compete with its smaller and richer neighbour.
The Geneva-based body's Human Capital Index evaluates - quality of healthcare, infrastructure and education, in order to gauge a country's ability to develop a skilled workforce.
Economists say Malaysia's economic potential has been stifled by affirmative action policies which favour Bumiputeras. Its 2013 report ranks M'sia at the 22nd spot in a list of 122 countries. Topping the list is Switzerland, followed by Finland, Singapore, the Netherlands and Sweden. Asean countries in the list include Thailand(44), Indonesia (53) and Philippines (66).

Ex-PM. Dr M on M'sians becoming more racist than ever by making demands that he said could threaten the country's foundation. On growing discontent by non-Malays.
" I read reports in the papers saying that now PM Seri Najib is going backwards towards the day of favouring the Bumiputeras.
" Dr M said, in defending PM Datuk Seri Najib Razak. The critics forgot that in the past, resentment of the rich by the poor had resulted in people rebelling against the govt. This, he said, gave birth to such ideologies as socialism and communism.
" If the poor is related to race, the potential for violence is much greater. We want to correct that disparity," Dr M said on a visit to the MMC-Gamuda MRT construction site in KL.
" Each race has got its own extremist and make demands which disrupt the stability of the state. " So it's better to make a little sacrifice to correct imbalances within our society so that every race can have a share from all that is going on in this country."
Dr M latest remarks appear to be a break from his recent series of criticism on Najib. He had called Putrajaya's cash disbursement under Bantuan Rakyat 1M'sia as " ineffective" and also spoken out against the repeal of draconian acts. Najib had 3 years ago also introduced the New Economic Model, replacing the controversial New Economic Policy.
The recently announced Bumiputera Economic Empowerment Plan (BEEP) will grant Bumiputeras access to over RM30 bil in funding and contracts.

The Edge also quoted local property developers who were shocked with the boldness of Country Gdn in developing its project all at one go instead of launching it phase by phase as is commonly done.
It was only in Dec last year that Country Garden purchased 57 acres of land from Iskandar Waterfront Sdn Bhd for RM800 million ? the first and biggest investment to date by the company, and a developer from China in the area.
Its Country
Garden@DangaBay project, with an estimated gross development value of RM18 billion, was subsequently launched in August this year.
Danga Bay is situated in Johor Baru, near the booming new township of Iskandar Malaysia, which is set to become a property hotspot after Hong Kong and Singapore imposed 15 per cent levies to slow down foreign investments that had overheated their property markets.
The Chinese investors? foray into Malaysia?s real estate scene comes amid cooling measures announced by Putrajaya following rocketing house prices caused by speculation.

" A classic case of David vs Goliath. Mahathir had everything at his disposal to get rid of Lim. He tried but did not succeed just like he tried to get rid off his then deputy Anwar Ibrahim."
" Very obvious. Mahathir still craves for influence and power that he once hold and that explains why he is so bitter that he no longer calls the shots..."

An official initially claimed that Mr Wang's passport was not stamped, and got another colleague over.
Speaking to a reporter from Shin Min Daily, Mr Wang said: " After the Malaysian customs officer told me to park my car by the roadside, he escorted me to their office."
Mr Wang said that there were three officials present, and one of them photocopied his passport, while another official explained to him that the delay was due to the erroneous stamp on his passport.

As the father sowed, so the son reaps
8:12AM Oct 30, 2013
FREE YOURSAY 'Mahathir Mohamad, poetic justice. Those who sow corruption in the first place now reap the poison of corruption.'
Oct 28, 2013 -'Why don't you tell the other 50% of Malays who didn't vote for BN to prove why they did not back BN?'
Prove that you back BN, mr 10% son of M'sia ex-premier. Mukhriz on Sungai Limau by-election
In a Malay-majority seat with only 1,500 Chinese registered voters, Umno, which claimed to be the protector of the Malays, if failed to win the Sungai Limau by-election, will again blame the Chinese.
What is this logic here?
