IPOH: Police have arrested four individuals, including a couple, and seized 44 kilogrammes (kg) of an assortment of drugs worth RM4.6 million in four separate raids in the Manjung district. Perak police chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said they arrested the jobless couple, aged 28 and 24, in a house in Simpang Tiga, Sitiawan at about 7.30pm on Monday. "Upon inspection, police found methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in the house and on a motorcycle parked in front of the house, weighing 15.6kg," he told a media conference at the Perak police headquarters here today. Noor Hisham said they then arrested a 50-year-old man at an apartment in Taman Sejati, Sitiawan, at 8.55 pm the same day and seized 127 grammes of ketamine and Erimin 5. He said the three suspects then led police to the discovery of 11.4kg of MDMA and 299 grammes of ketamine in a house used as a drug storage, where police also seized RM970 cash, at about 7.19am the next day. He said that all three suspects, who tested positive for Erimin 5, had prior police records related to crime and drugs.

Inspiring the surgeons of tomorrow
Dr Noor Hisham spoke passionately about leadership in healthcare, highlighting empathy, body language awareness, compassion, focused attentiveness and active listening as crucial traits in a doctor. Former Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah took to the stage as the keynote speaker at the recent Surgical Symposium 2025: Sculpting the Surgeons of the Future, which was organised by the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) Surgical Society. He received a warm welcome from NUMed provost and chief executive officer Prof Vishna Devi V Nadarajah, who highlighted that while he is renowned for playing a critical role in guiding Malaysia through an unprecedented crisis, he was also instrumental in the establishment of NUMed. 'In healthcare, it's not just about delivering services, but also about establishing training institutions so we have a continuous pipeline of healthcare professionals, not only for Malaysia but for the region. So, welcome back, Tan Sri, and thank you very much for being one of the pioneers of NUMed. We deeply appreciate it,' she said. In his speech, Dr Noor Hisham shared some of the essential leadership skills for navigating today's healthcare ecosystem. 'The first and most important skill that each and every one of you must learn is listening — to your patient, to data, to science, to facts and even to social media. 'As surgeons, we have to make decisions and if you have all the information you need at hand, you can make the right decision,' he said. The other four skills are creativity, communication, perseverance, and finally, doing one's best. 'Being able to sustain yourself and stay strong, especially when you face complications, is important. What's most crucial is that you do your best with communication, decision-making, knowing when to do and when not to do,' he added. This was followed by two plenary sessions. The first featured Dr Ahmad Shuib Yahaya, obstetrician and gynaecologist of Gleneagles Hospital Johor, who shared how technology is revolutionising outcomes in gynaecology oncology in his talk about Robotics in Surgery: Transforming Precision and Care. Meanwhile, Dr Nazrul Nashi, orthopaedic consultant at National University Hospital, Singapore, gave insights into The Future of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, Today, showcasing the role of 3D modelling in surgical planning. Thereafter, the symposium progressed to a highly anticipated series of hands-on workshops. According to Ong Paul Sherng, the event's organising chairperson and a Year 3 Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) student at NUMed, the symposium's primary goal was to introduce medical students to the world of surgery, preparing them not only in surgical fundamentals but also to be adaptable to innovation. NUMed is an international branch campus of Newcastle University, UK.
