The public has been told to refrain from making any speculations over the death of Health Ministry senior principal assistant director Dr Chai Koh Meow yesterday until the official result of the post-mortem is out.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (above) said Chai had completed his Covid-19 booster dose on Nov 9 and did not report any extraordinary side effects after receiving the vaccination.
He said Chai was also present for duty as usual until Nov 16.
Noor Hisham said investigation on the cause of death is still going on and the ministry is seeking the cooperation of the people to respect the privacy of Chai’s family.
"Condolences to all family members of Dr Chai Koh Meow on his demise on Nov 17,” he said in a statement on Facebook today.
Noor Hisham also said that the late doctor was well-liked by his colleagues, the local community as well as the traditional and complementary medicine fraternity.
“The Health Ministry regrets the demise of one of its committed and dedicated officers,” he added.
