KUCHING – A video of Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud was shared by his wife Toh Puan Raghad Kurdi Taib last night where the Sarawak governor was at a seaside cafe.
In it, a voice off camera, believed to be Raghad, can be heard saying, “Happy Sunday to everyone. Hello Tun. Hello husband. I love you. We all love you. Long life, InsyaAllah (God willing).”
Astana Negeri Sarawak recently dispelled speculation about Taib’s health.
It has not been revealed where he is currently, but state officials said he will return when permitted by doctors.
On August 3, Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said Taib has recovered from his illness and will return to Sarawak after a period of rest.
“The explanation is this, he (Taib) is taking a break and has fallen sick outside the country.
“His condition now is that he has recovered and is still resting, that’s all. He will be back, he will be back,” Abang Johari told reporters after launching the state-level National Month 2023 at the Sarawak police contingent headquarters here.
Astana Negeri Sarawak also issued a statement calling on Sarawakians not to be hoodwinked by unverified news on the governor’s health.
This followed Raghad lashing out at those spreading fake news about her husband.
In an Instagram post, she accused those creating fake news and cursing her husband of being inhumane as she said he had given “his entire life for Anak Sarawak and this state”. – August, 7, 2023
