KENYATAAN MEDIA PEJABAT PERDANA MENTERI 

PEMBOHONGAN SARAWAK REPORT TERHADAP PM 

Merujuk kepada laporan portal Sarawak Report baru-baru ini kononnya YAB Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah melanggar perintah Kuarantin di rumah dengan pergi ke luar negara untuk mendapatkan rawatan kanser, ingin ditegaskan ia adalah satu pembohongan dan tuduhan berniat jahat. 

Perintah menjalani kuarantin di rumah selama 14 hari bermula 22 Mei lepas adalah mengikut Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) selepas seorang daripada pegawai yang hadir mesyuarat pasca-Kabinet dipengerusikan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri disahkan positif COVID-19. 

Semasa menjalani tempoh kuarantin, YAB Perdana Menteri sentiasa mematuhi arahan tidak keluar rumah. Semua tugasan rasmi hanya dijalankan dari rumah termasuk mengadakan sidang video dengan YB Menteri Kanan Pertahanan dan Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan. 

Justeru dakwaan Sarawak Report bahawa YAB Perdana Menteri melanggar perintah kuarantin dengan keluar rumah, apatah lagi terbang ke luar negara adalah sama sekali tidak berasas dan hanya rekaan penulis. 

Penulis dan portal Sarawak Report perlu bertanggungjawab atas tuduhan yang dilemparkan kepada YAB Perdana Menteri dengan mengemukakan bukti termasuk menamakan pesawat yang dinaiki, hospital di Singapura dan doktor seperti yang 

didakwa. 

Kegagalan berbuat demikian bermakna laporan yang disiarkan portal itu adalah berniat jahat untuk memburuk-burukkan imej YAB Perdana Menteri. 

Amat malang apabila portal berita itu kini berubah menjadi perkakas politik bagi menjaja dan menyebarkan fitnah melalui laporan yang tidak berpaksikan kebenaran. 

Fitnah ini merupakan satu gangguan yang tidak perlu ketika negara sedang berhadapan pandemik kesihatan dan cabaran ekonomi yang belum pernah dialami sebelumnya. 

Mengenai tahap kesihatan YAB Perdana Menteri, seperti yang telah dilaporkan media sebelum ini, beberapa pakar perubatan telah pun mengesahkan bahawa beliau kini bebas daripada penyakit kanser dan cukup sihat untuk melaksanakan tugas sebagai Perdana Menteri (rujuk Lampiran).

Medical Report on YAB Tan Sri Muhyideen bin Haji Yassin. Prime Minister Malaysia 

As the medical team looking after YAB Tan Sri Muhyideen Yassin, our Prime Minister, we have been very concerned about the irresponsible media reporting regarding his health. This is why, despite patient confidentiality, and with the permission of the Prime Minister, we are issuing the following statement. 

1. YAB Tan Sri Muhyideen Yassin has had stage 1a pancreatic cancer which was diagnosed in 2018 and fully treated. He had surgery to remove the tumour followed by a period of intensive chemotherapy that has since been completed almost two years ago. 

2. He has had regular follow-ups in Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Gleneagles Hospital Singapore and the Mayo Clinic, USA. Experts in pancreatic cancer have conducted detailed investigations and have confirmed that there is no evidence of cancer currently and certainly no evidence of recurrent 

disease. 

3. We are of the opinion that YAB Tan Sri Muhyideen Yassin is fit to serve the people and the nation. 

As medical professionals we are appalled at the false reporting that has no basis.

My comments :  My view is no matter how much you may disagree with someone (especially politicians) there is no need to hate them personally. Politicians are a fact of life. 

And you should never exploit someone's health.  I have personally suffered chronic muscle tears where severe pain was involved. Once I was in severe pain for FOUR straight days and one 48 hour stretch without sleep. (But I still blogged - fuiyyo.) It is not an experience you should wish for anyone. And certainly not to be exploited.  

The Prime Minister has indeed recovered well. The talk I heard was that the initial medication (2 years ago) was actually too strong or had to be changed etc. As the doctor's letter says the PM's health is in good standing. So let us wish good health for all human beings - friends and foes alike ok?
