"Dr. Basmullah Yusom is serving three-month jail term for failing to pay RM120,000 fine for operating a clinic without registering it under the Private Health Facilities and Services Act (PHFSA) 1998.
Every day of jail by Dr. Basmullah is equivalent to paying RM1,333 of the fine. He has been jailed for 12 days or equivalent to paying RM15,996 of the RM120,000 fine!
This is also the most unfair and unjust three-month jail sentence - the first doctor to be jailed under the PHFSA despite assurances by both the Health Minister and Director-General of Health Services that private practitioners would not be jailed over a technicality.
Why is the Acting Health Minister, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting keeping quiet about this gross injustice in the implementation of the PHFSA?
A "Don't Jail Doctors Blog Campaign" has been launched by medical practitioners on the Internet. The Malaysian public demand a response from the Acting Health Minister as to what he is doing to end such injustice by getting Dr. Busmallah out of jail without any delay - as Dr. Basmullah, a Universiti Sains Malaysia-trained doctor and a father of eight children, should not be spending time in Kajang Prison at all."
