Shocking news came from national and former President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), who is currently undergoing treatment at the Gatot Soebroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD), Central Jakarta.

Information about SBY's health condition was conveyed through the verified official Instagram account @aniyudhono. In the upload, the family said that SBY's condition continued to show good progress during medical treatment.

"Currently Mr. SBY is undergoing treatment at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital. Alhamdulillah, his condition continues to show good progress and medical treatment is running smoothly," wrote the account on Saturday 19 July.

Although there has been no official statement regarding the type of disease suffered or since when SBY was treated, the upload indicates that the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia is still able to carry out light activities on the sidelines of his treatment.

One of the uploaded photos shows SBY painting an activity that has long been his hobby. In the picture, it appears that his right hand is still fitted with an IV tube, but he is still enthusiastic about working with his left hand.

"Even though his right hand was still infused, his enthusiasm for work did not recede. With his left hand, he returned to holding the brush and dissolved in colors. It was really a warm moment," the photo caption reads.

This upload immediately drew sympathy from the public and supporters of the Democratic Party. Many sent prayers for SBY's recovery and health so that he could recover quickly and return to carrying out his activities as usual.

"Please pray for the best from all friends so that Mr. SBY can recover quickly and can return to his normal activities. Thank you for your attention and support," concluded the upload of the @aniyudhono account.

In addition to having served as President of the Republic of Indonesia for two terms (20042014), SBY currently serves as Chairman of the High Council of the Democratic Party and is still actively providing direction and strategic views for the party he founded.

The public is now waiting for further information from the family and the Democratic Party regarding the development of SBY's health condition in the next few days.
