KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is upset with Singapore’s management of the eighth probable SARS case, who was sent back to Johor after the man was found to have SARS symptoms when re-entering the republic. 

Health deputy director-general Datuk Dr Ismail Merican said the 26-year-old Sabahan, who had a fever on May 12 and cough five days later, made a trip across the Causeway to Johor Baru for a driving test last Sunday.
