Son sensed change in late father before departure to holy land
Muhammad Hazrul Haziq Misnan, 30, shared that his late father, Misnan Ahmad, 60, repeatedly urged him, as the eldest son, to always take care of the family.
Upon learning that his father had been admitted to hospital following a heart attack, the family made a video call on Friday, not realising that it would be their final 'meeting'.
'At the time, he seemed stable. We were relieved when he was transferred out of the intensive care unit. He was able to speak and even raised his hand as usual. But then came the heartbreaking news that he had passed away.
'We accept it, as he passed away in the holy land, something many Muslims dream of. Allah SWT loved him more,' he told reporters when met at his home in Taman Istimewa here today.
Muhammad Hazrul Haziq said his late father's excitement to perform the haj was evident, as he appeared full of enthusiasm and was already waiting in the car shortly after performing the subuh prayers.
'I sent my mother and late father to Senai International Airport (LTAS) at 6.30 am. He looked so full of energy and was eager to leave home,' he said.
Misnan, who was the special officer to Johor Youth, Sports, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Committee chairman Mohd Hairi Mad Shah, died at King Abdul Aziz Hospital.

#HEALTH: Do you really need antibiotics for a sore throat?
IN Malaysia, as in many other countries worldwide, there is growing concern over a silent, yet widespread epidemic caused by the excessive and often inappropriate use of antibiotics. This issue is particularly evident in the treatment of sore throats, which are usually the result of viral infections and do not require antibiotics. The widespread overprescription of these medications has serious and extensive consequences, leading to a troubling increase in antibiotic-resistant superbugs that pose a significant threat to public health, says Universiti Sains Malaysia senior consultant, department of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, Professor Dr Baharudin Abdullah. The misuse of antibiotics can lead to a rise in mortality rates and exerts a significant burden on healthcare infrastructure and the economy, draining resources and complicating treatment efforts across the board. "It is more critical than ever to enhance public awareness and promote responsible prescription practices to protect public health and ensure the continued effectiveness of existing antibiotics," says Dr Baharudin. The World Health Organisation's Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System has categorised Malaysia as a high-alert nation due to the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In comparison to other Asian countries, Malaysia is among the leading nations in terms of antibiotic overuse, akin to Thailand and China, where obtaining antibiotics without a prescription remains a prevalent issue. The Health Ministry has consistently raised alarms about the escalating issue of AMR, yet the trend of overprescribing antibiotics remains prevalent due to several key factors. IN DEMAND Many Malaysians mistakenly believe antibiotics can cure viral infections, and even think they are effective for pain relief. Many physicians in both public and private primary care settings are often influenced by patient expectations and diagnostic uncertainty, leading to the prescription of antibiotics even when they are not clinically indicated. Studies show that in Malaysian hospitals, the challenge of AMR is becoming increasingly apparent, with a surge in drug-resistant strains like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Dr Baharudin says this predicament results in extended hospital stays, increased healthcare expenses and a greater chance of treatment failures. "Treating a resistant infection can be up to three times more expensive than a non-resistant one, placing a substantial financial burden on both patients and the healthcare system." THE ECONOMIC IMPACT In addition to its effects on healthcare, AMR has major economic and environmental consequences. According to World Bank estimates, by 2050, AMR may cause the world economy to contract by as much as 3.8 per cent, which might result in the poverty of 28 million people. The need for more costly second-line therapies and extended hospital stays will drive up prices for the already overburdened healthcare system. Furthermore, the environmental impact is too great to overlook because overprescribed antibiotics frequently end up in wastewater, contaminating soil and rivers and facilitating the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations outside of hospital settings. While the statistics paint a grim picture, Malaysia is not without recourse. The country has already made significant strides in public health, from implementing national antibiotic stewardship programmes to conducting public awareness campaigns. However, these efforts need to be scaled up and reinforced with a long-term, multi-sectoral approach, says Dr Baharudin. "Strengthening enforcement of antibiotic sales, improving diagnostic capabilities in primary care settings, and fostering stronger collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers and the public are critical next steps." Malaysia has a strong track record of advancing healthcare, which puts it in a unique position to lead efforts domestically and throughout Southeast Asia in the regional fight against AMR, he explains. Since Malaysia has already made great progress in improving healthcare - from bolstering universal healthcare laws to spearheading programmes for managing infectious diseases - it can support a regional AMR action plan that unites Asean countries in concerted efforts to stop antibiotic abuse. By advocating for stricter cross-border regulations on antibiotic sales, harmonising prescription guidelines and championing large-scale public awareness campaigns, Malaysia can set the benchmark for responsible antibiotic stewardship in Southeast Asia.

Dr Nisha's batik scrubs brighten up hospital wards
KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian doctor, seeking a practical yet patriotic way to dress at work, has started a quiet fashion trend in hospitals by producing a range of hospital-compliant scrubs for healthcare sector employees. Dr Nisha Puvan, an internal medicine specialist with a special interest in gastroenterology and currently working in a government hospital here, said it started as a passion project. 'Wearing vibrant (batik) prints lifted my spirits and created a positive vibration with my colleagues and patients,' she told Bernama in an interview recently. She is the founder craftbynishapuvan, a custom-made clothing brand, which she runs from Subang Jaya, Selangor. She said the idea took off during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 when she began making batik face masks. But a key turning point came in August 2023 when the Public Service Department issued a directive requiring civil servants, including doctors in public hospitals, to wear batik every Thursday. That was when Dr Nisha decided to create batik scrubs for hospital staff. To make sure the batik attire would not compromise practicality and hygiene, she did her own research, testing fabrics that met infection control standards while remaining breathable, durable and colourfast. 'The scrubs had to be short-sleeved, free from embellishments that could potentially harbour bacteria and withstand frequent washing. 'I wore them myself daily – tweaking pocket sizes, material thickness, and even testing how colours held up over time,' she said, adding her scrubs are made from cotton-blend fabrics adorned with batik prints, handcrafted by local artisans using traditional techniques. For Dr Nisha, functionality is key. 'Doctors are constantly on the move – from clinics to wards to emergency situations – and we carry many items,' she said. 'So I designed (scrubs with) large pockets and added tailored features without compromising style.' Today, her scrubs are being worn by many doctors working in government and private hospitals and at private practices nationwide. While she expressed her desire to collaborate with the Ministry of Health to supply batik scrubs to public hospitals on a larger scale, currently, she receives bulk orders from only certain departments of government hospitals. In some district hospitals, some of their departments order them in specific colours – such as blue batik scrubs for Mondays and green for Tuesdays. Her client base also includes Malaysian professionals working abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom and Australia. 'It is mostly Malaysians abroad who want to wear something that connects them to home. Batik gives them a sense of pride in being a Malaysian,' she said. Dr Nisha manages her business on her own – from handling her social media accounts and taking orders to quality control and packaging. 'It is a one-woman show. I have a couple of tailors, but everything else is done by me,' she said, adding that her four-year-old twin daughters are also involved in the creative process. 'If a print is not nice, they will say so. It is my way of introducing them to Malaysian heritage.' Apart from scrubs, craftbynishapuvan also creates custom-made batik sarees, cheongsam, baju Melayu, lehenga and coordinated family sets. 'We cater to all body types. Some families choose a single signature batik print and request different styles to be made, such as a cheongsam for mum, Mandarin-collared shirt for dad, and matching outfits for the children.' Recognising the need for modest wear among Muslim doctors, the brand is expanding its range of scrubs to include adjustable sleeves, longer tunics and higher necklines. Sustainability is also a priority, with craftbynishapuvan using deadstock fabrics – leftover materials from larger productions – to reduce waste. Dr Nisha attends to her business after working hours, often packaging orders at night whilst her children are asleep. 'When I am at work, I stay fully focused on my patients. Craft comes after-hours... it is how I unwind and recalibrate,' she said. Referring to her batik scrubs, she said: 'This is my form of patriotism. A quiet pride. We may not realise it, but even what we wear can carry our identity, dignity and culture into places that feel cold and clinical. 'Every time I see a doctor in batik scrubs, not just in my hospital but any other place, it reminds me that Malaysian heritage is alive, adaptable and proudly worn.' - Bernama

Malaysia remains top medical tourism hub despite SST, says minister
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is expected to maintain its position as a leading medical tourism hub in the region and remain competitively priced, despite the recent imposition of a six per cent Sales and Service Tax (SST) on medical tourists. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said this was because Malaysia's medical costs are at least 30 to 40 per cent lower compared to neighbouring countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore across several major treatment categories. These include gastroenterology, cardiology, orthopaedics, and oncology. "At the same time, the country's medical tourism sector not only offers competitive pricing but is also recognised for its high-quality services and effective treatments. "It also highlights Malaysian hospitality, which remains a major draw for medical tourists," he said in a written parliamentary reply. Dzulkefly said Malaysia's medical tourism revenue rose to RM2.72 billion last year, a 21 per cent increase compared to 2023. He was responding to Datuk Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi (PN–Kuala Langat), who asked about the implications of the SST expansion on Malaysia's reputation as the region's top medical tourism destination.
