"He will continue his recuperation and recovery process at home," the institute said in a statement.
It did not say what procedure Mahathir, who has a history of heart problems, had undergone. Mahathir was prime minister from 1981 to 2003 and held the top post again from 2018 to 2020.

He was hospitalised on 16 December before being discharged a week later.
