Unlicensed caterer causes food poisoning affecting 427 students in Kota Bharu
PASIR MAS: The food poisoning incident involving 427 students from a private higher education institution in Kota Bharu has been linked to an unlicensed caterer operating without registration under the Ministry of Health (MOH). Kelantan Health Department director Datuk Dr Zaini Husin confirmed that the caterer was issued a seven-day closure notice starting July 9 under Section 18(1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342). He stressed that all food businesses, including catering services, must register with MOH to ensure food safety. 'We found the caterer preparing meals for the college students was not registered with MOH and was operating from a private residence. A seven-day closure order has been issued,' he said. The outbreak is now under control, with no new cases reported. All hospitalised students have been discharged. Initial investigations point to chicken curry as the possible cause, but lab tests are pending for confirmation. The number of suspected food poisoning cases rose from 343 to 427 within a day. In a separate update, Dr Zaini revealed that RM249,000 in compounds were issued from January to June this year under the Destruction of Disease-Bearing Insects Act 1975 (Act 154) for dengue prevention. Additionally, 35 cases under the Control of Tobacco Product Regulations 2004 resulted in RM23,000 in fines, while 10 cases under the Food Act 1983 saw penalties exceeding RM30,000. Under the Control of Smoking Products for Public Health Act 2024 (Act 852), 7,643 premises were inspected, leading to 5,953 offence notices and 7,744 educational advocacy sessions. 'Under the Food Act 1983 (Act 281), we inspected 4,999 food premises, and 39 were issued temporary closure orders under Section 11 to ensure hygiene and food safety,' he added. - Bernama

Advancing post-transplant care
Triumphant: Dr Sharifah Shahnaz with her award. SURGERIES carry the risk of infections – including transplants. In Malaysia, where cytomegalovirus (CMV) prevalence is high, hospitals face the challenge of CMV infections following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Recognising this, Dr Sharifah Shahnaz Syed Abd Kadir, a consultant haematologist at Hospital Ampang, conducted research on the topic, which she recently presented at the 28th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Malaysian Society of Transplantation. Her effort clinched first prize in the Best Paper Oral Presentation category, earning her a trophy, a certificate, and a cash prize of RM1,000. Themed 'Compassion to Cure: The Transplant Journey', the conference, held from May 22 to 24 at a hotel in Selangor, convened experts and scholars committed to improving transplantation outcomes. Dr Sharifah Shahnaz – a third-year Doctor of Philosophy (Medical Science) student at the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) M. Kandiah Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences – expressed gratitude for the honour. 'This award affirms the significance of our work in advancing transplant-related care, especially in resource-limited settings. 'It motivates me to pursue impactful research that bridges immunology and clinical practice, and opens doors to collaboration and further innovation,' she said in a press release. Titled Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection/Disease and CMV-Specific Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT) in a High CMV Seropositivity Rate Population, Dr Sharifah Shahnaz's research project involved a study at Hospital Ampang, where she followed 72 transplant patients and employed the QuantiFERON-CMV assay to evaluate immune responses post-transplant. Her research found that early impaired immunity and the presence of gut graft-versus-host disease were key predictors of CMV infection – insights that could significantly inform post-transplant care. These findings underscore the importance of immune monitoring and point towards the integration of immunological markers into clinical risk models for better patient outcomes. Her success is also a reflection of the mentorship provided by her supervisors, Assoc Prof Dr Leong Pooi Pooi and Emeritus Prof Dr Cheong Soon Keng from UTAR, as well as Dr Tan Sen Mui from Hospital Ampang, the press release read. It added that the achievement illustrates UTAR's ongoing commitment to fostering high-calibre medical research that addresses real-world healthcare challenges.

‘It's worth it'
A CAREER in clinical psychology is rewarding, despite the challenges, academics and students say. 'The career is definitely worthwhile, especially when seeing how psychosocial interventions help improve the lives of individuals and their families struggling with mental health issues. 'In turn, one also gets to make many new friends, creating an extra layer of social support for themselves,' said Sunway University School of Psychology Prof Alvin Ng Lai Oon. While psychology may not be as conventionally valued as other fields like medicine and law, it is equally important and meaningful, Master's in Counselling student Tan Xin Yi said. 'The role of medical doctors is to treat patients and the role of counsellors is to care for individuals –which is equally essential for a person's overall health and well-being,' she offered. Malaysian Mental Health Association president Prof Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj said psychology opens doors far beyond clinics. 'It's not just about becoming a clinical psychologist. There's industrial-organisational, forensic psychology – so many career pathways to consider,' he said, adding that psychology is highly adaptive and can be paired with other careers. For example, someone could combine psychology with human resources and do really well as a human resource manager, he said. According to Dr Andrew, those who pursue non-clinical psychology careers, such as industrial-organisational psychology, may command competitive salaries as well. 'Fresh graduates can get around RM5,000 per month as starting salaries if they hold postgraduate qualifications,' he said. For clinical psychologists, he noted that they remain highly sought after in the private sector. 'As for clinical psychologists who are highly in demand, they can easily earn up to RM10,000 a month in the private sector with just a few years of experience. With more experience, they are known to take home double that amount,' he said. Psychology isn't only about helping others – it's also about gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. It encourages self-awareness, personal growth, and deep reflection on how you relate to yourself and the world. While you learn to support others in their emotional and psychological journeys, you're also constantly working on your own self-understanding. What's important is to stay curious and be willing to grow.-Tan Xin Yi, 24, Master's in Counselling student Mentorship and guidance don't always come automatically. You really have to seek them out. If you're just starting university, make it a point to connect with different kinds of people. You never know who might end up being a mentor or support system later on. I developed a close relationship with my thesis supervisor, who not only helped me publish my first journal article but continues to collaborate with me on academic writing. She's also someone I turn to when I need advice on big decisions. Her experience in academia has been incredibly valuable, and having that kind of support has shaped my journey. -Ellern Eng Hui, 24, public health researcher A degree in psychology is valuable and versatile. Beyond healthcare, graduates can thrive in fields like human resources, marketing, education, media, research, and social services. It involves engaging in analytical thinking, experimenting, reading academic literature, analysing results, and writing reports. Therefore, having strong English skills, a scientific mindset, and a natural curiosity about human behavior is essential. Psychology is an enriching degree that offers diverse career opportunities and deepens one's understanding of people and life. -Ch'ng Tze Kwang, 25, recruitment consultant
