KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court was told that Datuk Syed Alman Zain Alwi, who died during dental treatment last year, was convulsing several times while his tooth was being extracted, even though he was under general anesthesia.

Dr Arlena Philip Lee, 30,  who was a dentist at the Imperial Dental Specialist Centre, said Syed Alman Zain, the son-in-law of the deputy prime minister, began to move when she injected the dental anesthesia on his lower right gum to extract a wisdom tooth.
