KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — Labelled as a national hero by social media users, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham has played down such praises from the public for himself.
The Health director-general today said that the current fight against Covid-19 pandemic is carried out by everyone in the nation, and not merely him alone.
“No, it’s not about me. It’s about what we can do together as one, for Covid-19 situation.
“So to me, that is not important. What’s important is our service,” Dr Noor Hisham told a press conference.

Dr Noor Hisham has served under three governments, the era of Barisan Nasional, to Pakatan Harapan to the current Perikatan Nasional coalition, and has been hailed as a hero in Malaysia’s fight against the Covid-19 outbreak.
He has been taking the lead in the MOH’s daily press conferences with the media, replacing newly minted Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba after a series of gaffes and criticisms over the latter’s handling.
