KUALA LUMPUR (BERNAMA) - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday (Aug 2) paid a visit to Malaysia's Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin who is receiving treatment in a Singapore hospital.

Mr Muhyiddin is recovering at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Orchard Road after undergoing surgery for a pancreatic tumour which was detected at an early stage.

Mr Muhyiddin went on leave from July 12 for the treatment and is expected to be back on duty in about a month's time.
