KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has allowed four cardiothoracic surgeons to challenge the Malaysian Medical Council’s (MMC) decision rejecting their applications for listing on the National Specialists Register (NSR).
Lawyer Jeremiah Rais, who represented the doctors, told FMT that Justice Amarjeet Singh allowed four of the five prayers sought by his clients in their application for leave to commence judicial review proceedings.
The court also fixed the inter partes hearing of the application on May 2.
The joint application was brought by Drs Nur Aziah Ismail and Chong Kee Soon, both from the National Heart Institute (IJN), and Drs Syed Nasir Syed Hassan and Lok Yuh Ing who are attached to public hospitals.
