MMA says doctors would have expected a sincere apology for an honest mistake on the part of the police.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has urged the police to make a sincere apology over the manhandling of a doctor by an elite police team at the Serdang Hospital on Oct 7.
Its president, Dr John Chew Chee Ming, said Dr R Thanendran was a victim of mistaken identity and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar had regretted the incident (manhandling of the doctor).

“We would have expected a sincere apology for an honest mistake (on the part of the police) which would have placated the medical profession as we are, after all, doctors with benevolent hearts.
