"The notice was received on May 1 at 4pm. The process (of approval) is still ongoing," he said.

Previously, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) said that it will march from the Health Ministry building to the Prime Minister’s Office in Putrajaya, in protest of the new law mandating the display of price lists at private healthcare facilities that would come into effect on May 1.

The "Doctors Betrayed: The Long Walk to Putrajaya" march organised by the MMA is set to take place on May 6.
