Toh Puan Raghad Kurdi Taib has taken decisive action in response to allegations suggesting that she acted against medical advice by removing her husband, former Yang Dipertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud, from the hospital. Through a recent Instagram post, Raghad announced that she has filed a police report to counter these unfounded claims and safeguard Taib's right to choose his medical treatment. Additionally, she hinted at the possibility of legal action against Normah Hospital, where Taib was under care in Kuching.
While Raghad refrained from disclosing specifics regarding the filing of the police report, she emphasized her commitment to cooperating with authorities and reiterated her determination to defend Taib's privacy and autonomy in medical decision-making. Raghad urged the public to disregard misleading information and respect Taib's rights.
In earlier statements, Raghad vehemently denied allegations of disregarding medical advice and stressed that Taib's discharge from the hospital was approved by the attending physician, Dr. Tan Sian Kong. According to Raghad, Dr. Tan deemed Taib fit for travel and provided a referral letter for admission to CVS Kuala Lumpur Hospital, validating the legitimacy of the discharge.
Raghad clarified that the decision to bring Taib home was made with informed consent and in accordance with his best interests. She asserted that all necessary discharge procedures were followed, and hospital staff were informed accordingly. Raghad also refuted claims of removing Taib's medication without proper notification, stating that requests for assistance were ignored by hospital personnel.
Expressing concern over the quality of treatment and inconsistent medical advice received, Raghad underscored the need for a thorough investigation into the matter by the hospital. She lamented that baseless accusations have caused undue stress and confusion for both herself and her husband, prompting her to seek recourse through legal channels.
Throughout the ordeal, Raghad emphasized the unity and resilience of her family, soliciting prayers for Taib's health and well-being. By lodging a police report and considering legal action, Raghad aims to uphold Taib's rights and integrity while seeking accountability for the allegations levelled against her.
