Not enough doctors, nurses: Pasir Gudang Hospital launch pushed to next year
JOHOR BAHRU, Aug 4 — The opening of the Pasir Gudang Hospital (HPG) here, which was initially scheduled to begin phased operations on Aug 1, has been postponed to next year. Johor Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said this was due to several technical issues, including a shortage of healthcare personnel, such as doctors and nurses. According to him, the decision was agreed upon by both the Ministry of Health and the state government to avoid any complications arising from inadequate staffing. 'The shortage of healthcare staff is one of the major issues we are currently facing. If the hospital were to begin operations without sufficient manpower, we are concerned it would lead to various problems in the future. 'However, HPG will not be left idle. Instead, it will serve as a support facility for Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) and Sultan Ismail Hospital (HSI), which are the two busiest hospitals in the state,' he said when contacted today. He added that discussions with the Ministry of Health (MOH) will continue to ensure HPG can begin operating with an adequate number of staff. In June, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad was reported as saying that HPG would begin its first phase of operations on Aug 1, involving around 30 per cent of its total hospital capacity. He said the initial phase would cover 30 per cent of essential services such as Accident and Emergency (A&E), Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and the Paediatrics Department. 'To date, 274 positions have been filled, and we hope the hospital can become fully operational with 1,845 staff by July 2026,' he said. — Bernama

Child psychologist tells court no proof of neglect, abuse in Zayn Rayyan's medical records
PETALING JAYA, Aug 4 — A child psychologist testified in the Sessions Court today that the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin had not been neglected or abused, as indicated by three medical reports from Selayang Hospital and Sungai Buloh Hospital. Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, the founder of the CPC International psychology clinic in Bandar Baru Bangi, confirmed that she had reviewed the reports provided by the defence. When questioned by lawyer Haresh Mahadevan, Dr Noor Aishah said there was no evidence in the reports suggesting that Zayn Rayyan had suffered neglect or abuse. 'The reports show no indication of neglect or abuse,' the fifth defence witness said during examination-in-chief in the proceedings of Ismanira Abdul Manaf, who faces charges of child neglect involving Zayn Rayyan. Dr Noor Aishah elaborated on the definition of neglect, explaining that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) outlines various forms, including emotional, physical, and educational neglect. She emphasised that neglect must occur over a consistent period to be classified as such. 'If a child misses lunch because the guardian is sick, it wouldn't be considered neglect. 'But if the child consistently receives inadequate food and is expected to find food themselves, this could be classified as neglect,' she said. In relation to the amended charge against Ismanira, which refers to neglect causing potential physical injury to the child, Dr Noor Aishah pointed out that the use of the word 'likely' in the charge implies uncertainty and does not definitively point to physical injury. When questioned whether the amended charge clearly indicated neglect by the accused, the witness responded that it was not specified in the charge. On July 21, Judge Syahliza Warnoh ordered Ismanira to enter her defence after the prosecution successfully established a prima facie case against the woman, while her husband, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari, 30, was acquitted and discharged. The couple was accused of neglecting their autistic son, Zayn Rayyan, in a manner likely to cause physical injury between noon on Dec 5 and 9.55 pm on Dec 6, 2023, in the vicinity of Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai, extending to a nearby river. They were charged under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment, a fine of up to RM50,000, or both, upon conviction. The trial continues tomorrow. — Bernama
