Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended financial assistance to Makkal Osai senior editor Rajan Boopalan, who is currently receiving treatment at Selayang Hospital after suffering a blood clot in his head.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, Datuk Seri Anwar said several officers from the Prime Minister’s Office had visited Rajan at the hospital on his behalf to enquire about his condition and convey his regards.
The officers also handed over a financial contribution from the Prime Minister to help ease the burden on Rajan and his family throughout his treatment.
Anwar expressed his prayers for Rajan’s speedy recovery, hoping that his medical treatment would proceed smoothly and that he would regain his health. He also wished strength to Rajan and his family as they navigate this challenging period.
Makkal Osai senior editor, Rajan was previously found unconscious at his home, prompting further medical examinations that confirmed a ruptured blood vessel in his head, resulting in a blood clot.
He subsequently underwent surgery to remove the blood clot, and his condition was reported to be stable as he continues to receive further medical care.
The Prime Minister’s gesture reflects support for the veteran media practitioner and his family during a difficult time, as members of the media fraternity continue to hope for his recovery.
