It’s okay to be stripped for medical check, says PKR Wanita chief
KUALA LUMPUR: First, PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim complained of being stripped while being examined at the KL Hospital. Yesterday, PKR Wanita chief Zuraidah Kamaruddin said that it is “okay” if a person is stripped to check for medical evidence.
“If the doctor asks you to open your mouth so that he can inspect it, then you must open your mouth.
“If stripping was a part of the procedure, then it should be done,” she said, adding that one must follow procedure.
She also expressed hope that HKL would uphold its integrity in doing its job.
“We hope the hospital will carry on showing professionalism in its work without fear or favour, or discriminate by race and religion,” said Zuraidah.
Earlier, she presented 10 bouquets of flowers to HKL deputy director (medical) Dr Lailanor Ibrahim, who accepted the flowers on behalf of director Datuk Dr Zaininah Mohd Zain.
To a question, Zuraidah, who is also Ampang MP, denied that her visit was a form of pressure on the hospital.
“We have confidence that HKL will come out with a report that is honest and true,” she said.
She also said the visit to HKL was part of a road show for Himpunan Keluarga Merdeka on Aug 30 organised by the PKR women's wing.
