PETALING JAYA (March 10, 2013)
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah: HKL director Dr Zaininah Mohd Zain’s was inappropriate.
HKL had been reprimanded in connection with the circular.
However, he added that “government hospitals should not be made a platform to promote any political party and it is a mandatory responsibility of all civil servants to abide by and support the policy decisions made by the ruling government. This is important to ensure the effectiveness and stability of the government machinery.”

No Opposition car stickers at Hospital Kuala Lumpur!
| Harakahdaily, | 08 March 2013 |
Mar 8: With immediate effect, Hospital Kuala Lumpur has banned its staff from spotting any Pakatan Rakyat-themed stickers on their vehicles within hospital compound.
The directive was given in a letter dated March 4, 2013, which has circulated widely on social media, signed by HKL director Dr Zaininah Binti Mohd Zain (pic).
“Appropriate decision including disciplinary actions will be taken against those who defy the instruction,” added the letter. It however did not state whether stickers of Barisan Nasional parties are permitted.
She urged heads of departments to ensure staff adhere to the latest ruling.
The letter quickly became target of jokes and scorn from netizens on social media.
“Oh God, This is so uniquely Malaysia. Only in Malaysia,” writes a Facebook user.
“Be patient HKL staff. Just two months more (before 13th general election),” comes a rejoinder.
One commentator said the decision was akin to “UMNO people digging their own grave”.
A reader of news portal Malaysiakini wondered whether the decision will be followed with an oath requirement from HKL staff:
“The next directive to be issued, will be all patients upon admission must swear that they will vote for B-end or they will not be treated.”
