There were no instructions given to government clinics and hospitals to refuse treatment to patients wearing shorts, said Deputy Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya. He told reporters at a blood donation event organised by Malay Colleges Old Boys' Association (MCOBA) today that it was the function of clinics and hospitals to give treatment, regardless of what the patient wears. This follows an incident last week where two government clinics and a hospital refused to give a child treatment because his mother wore shorts. "There has never been any directive to deny treatment based on dressing. This is just the clinic's sentiments. Patients just have to dress decently enough to be in public," he said. Hilmi added that dressing was not a condition for a patient to receive treatment. "Islam has its rules on its followers so it is not an issue. For non-Muslims, just dress decently. There should not be any problems," he said. It was reported by China Press that a boy in Saleng, Johor Baru, was denied treatment at a clinic after cutting his finger, the clinic citing the reason being due to his mother wearing shorts. They proceeded to go to another 1Malaysia clinic and then Kulai Hospital, where they were denied treatment again both times before finally being treated at a private clinic. When asked whether the ministry would investigate the matter, Hilmi declined to say so whether an investigation would be made.

Malaysians are wasting their time and energy arguing and questioning Islamic Freak.
Malaysia is now more Islamic than what is preached and say by our Leaders.
What can be done and the answer is NOTHING.
Here in our loving mentally sick country, everything has gone out of control.
Islamic Freak has taken over the running of this country.
Now these Islamic Freak are also insisting separate trolley in Supermarkets just for Muslim.
Please do so for schools, transport, shopping complex, cinema, eateries, roads, toll booths, money, banks etc.
YES DO DIVIDE AND PUSH THE MUSLIM INTO THEIR SICK CELL.
I TRULY BELIEVE ONLY IN MALAYSIA THE QURAN TEACHES THE MUSLIM TO BE RETARDED.
