Tabung Haji officer gets RM67,000 in damages for eating cockroach at hospital
SHAH ALAM: A Tabung Haji customer service officer won RM67,000 in damages after the specialist hospital was found negligent for serving him vegetables containing a cockroach for lunch.
Wan Hailmey Mahrawi, 38, said he was provided with the food when he was warded at the KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital here to treat his cervical disc disorders.
In allowing the negligence claim with costs Thursday, Sessions Court judge G. Ramesh held that Wan Hailmey had proven his case after hearing evidence from witnesses from both parties.
Judge Ramesh ordered Selangor Specialist Hospital Sdn Bhd, which runs the hospital, to pay the plaintiff RM7,000 over his abdominal pain and diarrhoea for five days, and another RM60,000 in exemplary damages.
The judge also awarded an interest of 6% per year on the judgment sum from Thursday to its full settlement.
