Former president Abdurrahman Wahid, popularly known as "Gus Dur",
was admitted on Wednesday to state-owned Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital (RSCM) in Central Jakarta for high blood pressure
and blood sugar.

"Gus Dur is being treated at the RSCM for an increase in his
blood pressure and glucose content after arriving from a two-day
visit to Malaysia," his spokesman Andi M. Massardi said.

Gus Dur's family doctor Umar Wahid, his brother, has prescribed
hospital treatment and bed-rest. -- JP
