KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Saturday (Nov 18) visited opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim in hospital, a day after Prime Minister Najib Razak dropped by.
Anwar, who is serving a jail term for sodomy, is warded at Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) for a surgery operation.
"Just visited Anwar Ibrahim who underwent a recent surgery on his right shoulder at HKL. May he have a speedy recovery," Datuk Seri Zahid wrote on his Facebook page.

Anwar, a former deputy prime minister, and Mr Zahid, were very close when they were both rising stars in Umno in the 1990s.
