The launch of the Malaysia Trailblazers Association (MyPerintis), scheduled today was forced to be cancelled as its patron, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is unwell.

When contacted, his aide told Astro AWANI that the former premier is not well and is resting at home.

Yesterday, MyPerintis founder Datuk Laurence Low said the event had to be cancelled as the patron was not well.

"It is at my utmost regret that I just received a call from Tun Mahathir's office that he is down with fever, chest pain and cough. We need to postpone the launch," he wrote on MyPerintis website.

"Let's all pray for Tun M's speedy recovery," he wrote.

MyPerintis is a youth association, established on June 30, 2015.
