SIBU: The unannounced removal of all Taiwanese dental schools by the Malaysian Dental Council (MDC) has left graduates and current students in the lurch, and the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) wants an explanation.

SUPP education bureau chairman Ding Kuong Hiing said this was unfair to the dental graduates because this non-recognition meant they could not work or intern at government dental hospitals, nor commence private practice.
