Farewell Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham

By Murray Hunter - posted Friday, 28 April 2023


A company, Protect Health Corporation Sdn Bhd, that Noor Hisham was the chairman, proposed a scheme to vaccinate 500,000 shopping mall workers, on-site to prevent absenteeism. Each shopping mall worker would be charged an administration fee of RM 50. The scheme would earn RM 25,000,000 from Protect Health. The Malaysian public were receiving their vaccinations free of charge.

The proposal was quickly abandoned once the scheme was exposed by news portals.

7.     Malaysians failing to obtain justice from the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC)

The MMC has repeatedly failed to police professional misconduct within the medical profession. An extremely high percentage of complainants are rejected by the MMC through a single letter by the MMC Preliminary Investigation Committees (PIC), leaving victims from botched surgeries, incorrect or poorly applied treatments, and even insurance frauds, to fend for themselves.

Many people have died unnecessarily, or have been permanently injured and incapacitated because of this. The MMC is overtly promoting professional misconduct by its lax and sometimes dishonest approach to dealing with complaints. Medical practitioners know that in the majority of cases they will get away with their slips in professional conduct and mistakes.

Complaints are just being white washed through a single letter, stating ‘there will be no further investigation into the matter’. The dismissive reply in the case shown above is from the same disciplinary investigation committee, PIC II, headed by Megat Burhainuddinin which he, as the chairman, was heard in an audio recording refusing the proper investigation of an accused doctor on a ‘no questions asked’ basis and in which the legal advisor was recorded as saying they would ‘get this thing done sneakily’ referring to the subsequent dismissal of the charges against the same doctor.
