PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: Hospital Pusrawi (Pusat Rawatan Islam) has yet to furnish the Health Ministry with a report about how a confidential medical report was leaked, after the hospital was given a two-week deadline by the Health Ministry.

Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said that they were "still waiting to know how it was leaked out".

"They (Hospital Pusrawi) say they want to do an investigation, but my medical practices director says they haven't done it.

"But we have gone to Pusrawi and we have done our own investigations. We are still waiting," he told the press after opening National Regulatory Conference in Subang Jaya yesterday.

The three-day conference was themed "Building Bridges Towards Excellence."

Dr Ismail said that Pusrawi's report was needed before the ministry could respond.

He was commenting on an online news portal report that a medical report from Hospital Pusrawi, signed by Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid at 2.14pm on June 28, ruled out that Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan was sodomised.
