  "account": "Bekas jururadiografi Universiti Malaya Hospital (PPUM), Nur Fauzia Abdul Razak, who is suffering from stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma, threatens to sue the hospital for violating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) if a fair resolution cannot be reached. Fauzia's lawyer, Wan Azmir Wan Majid, stated that her daughter plans to file a complaint for negligence or initiate a lawsuit against PPUM if no discussion is held. \"If there is no meeting between Fauzia and PPUM, our only option is to take this matter to court. The next step, whether filing a complaint of negligence or a confiscation action against PPUM,\" she said during a media briefing. In April, Fauzia accused three hospital staff members of developing cancer and four others suffering from thyroid-related illnesses following the installation of a PET-CT machine at the hospital several years ago. PPUM, however, denied the allegations and claimed that the PET-CT machine is always controlled according to strict safety standards, with radiation exposure levels closely monitored and adhering to set standards. The hospital also mentioned that all personnel handling the machine must wear personal dosimeters, and records show that the radiation dose received by workers is significantly lower and within the permitted range. The Ministry of Health subsequently cleared PPUM of the complaint of violating SOPs after an investigation. However, a coalition of civil society organizations, including the Secretariat for Higher Institution Reform, the Malaysia Islamic Utilization Association, and the Malaysia People's Advocacy Collective, urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate allegations of negligence and manipulation of personal radiation exposure records at the hospital.",
