Pusrawi doc sacked for failing to report to work
PETALING JAYA: Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid, the first doctor who examined Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan on June 26 for alleged sodomy, was sacked from Pusrawi Hospital for failing to come to work since Aug 1.
Pusrawi general manager Wan Mahmood Wan Yaacob said that Dr Mohamed Osman had taken three weeks leave and was scheduled to return to work on Aug 1 but had failed to turn up.
“Under the labour laws, an officer who fails to turn up for work five days consecutively will have his service terminated automatically, without notice,” he told M-star yesterday.
He added that the salary of the medical officer would not be paid because he failed to keep in touch with Pusrawi after he ended his leave on Aug 1.
Wan Mahmood said that the doctor had disappeared and all efforts by Pusrawi to trace him had failed.
Dr Mohamed Osman recently issued a Statutory Declaration (SD) published by news portal Malaysia Today standing by the result of the examination done on Mohd Saiful at Pusrawi hours after Mohd Saiful lodged a report on him being sodomised.
Last Friday, the police confirmed that they were investigating the SD to verify its validity.
