State Enterprises Minister Mustafa Abubakar, admitted to a Singapore hospital recently for a heart problem, is recovering and is expected to come home soon, ministry secretary Mahmudin Yasin said on Monday.
"He's been showing progressive improvement; the doctors have reduced the drugs he is on and we're now waiting for the OK to bring him back home," Yasin said in Jakarta.
He said, however, that it was not clear when exactly Mustafa could return home.
"As soon as the doctors give us the word, he will return home and start working," Yasin said.
Mustafa suffered a heart attack on Aug. 23 and was rushed to Medistra Hospital in Jakarta before flying to Singapore and being admitted to the National University of Singapore Hospital on Sept. 3 for further medical treatment.
