Allegations that senior health officials did not attend funerals in Sarawak untrue - MOH
KUALA LUMPUR: Allegations that no senior health officials attended the funerals of members of the Flying Doctors Service (FDS) killed in a crash in Sarawak are untrue and irresponsible, Health deputy director-general Dr Ismuni Bohari said.
Health deputy director-general Dr Ismuni Bohari has refuted allegations that senior health officials did not attend the funerals of members of the Flying Doctors Service (FDS) who died in a crash in Sarawak. Dr Ismuni insisted that he personally visited the families of the victims in Miri and Kuching, and paid his final respects to the victims.
He was accompanied by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad and senior leaders of the ministry. Dr Dzulkefly, secretary-general Datuk Seri Hasnol Zam Zam Ahmad, and deputy secretary-general also attended the funeral in Senawang. Dr Ismuni emphasized that his presence was not only official but also stemmed from humanitarian concerns and his personal relationship with the FDS team, his past affiliation with the team, and his role as a Sarawak native and National Public Health Programme director.
He urged for continued support for the bereaved families and for the news portal to verify facts before disseminating information.
