In a statement, the health ministry said Dzulkefly is undergoing treatment and is in stable condition.

“Let us all pray for good health for the minister so that he can resume his duties soon,” it said.

Renal colic is the medical term for the pain a patient may suffer due to kidney stones.

Dzulkefly, an Amanah vice-president and the Kuala Selangor MP, is serving a second stint as health minister following the Cabinet reshuffle last December.

He first served as health minister under the Pakatan Harapan-led government from May 2018 to February 2020.
