Show fairness to the Health director-general


CRITICISMS have been levelled against the director-general of Health Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah on social media over two matters over which he has no direct control – the closure of Parliament and the issue of contract doctors.

In the matter of Parliament, it was his duty to advise the government about the risks that were attendant upon allowing people to congregate when the number of Covid-19 infections is on the increase.
