PH NS candidate, wife claim trial to operating unregistered clinic
Dr Azizul Hakim Mahdi and his wife are accused of operating the clinic in Senawang.
Pakatan Harapan candidate Dr Azizul Hakim Mahdi and his wife Noor Ameeraa Rahmat appeared in court today, both pleading not guilty to operating an unregistered private medical clinic in Taman Bandar Senawang. The charges stem from an alleged infringement of Section 27 of the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998, which mandates registration for such establishments.
Both 35-year-old professionals, who are also company directors, were accused of running the clinic without the necessary authorization, as reported by Sinar Harian. The incident is believed to have transpired around 11:30 am on July 8. If found guilty, they could face a fine of up to RM300,000 and imprisonment for up to six years, as stipulated under Section 4(1) of Act 586.
In addition, their company stands accused of the same offense under Section 5(1) of the same act, which carries a maximum penalty of RM500,000 upon conviction. The matter is set to be mentioned again on September 17, with health ministry prosecuting officer Haslina Zamani leading the prosecution, while Abdul Fateh Rahmat represented both defendants.
