KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has rejected a rumour online that he would be announced as a Perikatan Nasional candidate for the state elections on August 12.
According to The Star, the former Health director-general said “no news but creating news” when asked to comment about the rumour.
Earlier, a Twitter user purported a former Health D-G would contest in the Selangor state election.
Dr Noor Hisham, who retired in April, also said today that all he wanted to do was to take a rest first, after serving the Health Ministry for 35 years.
Perikatan Nasional is set to announce its state election candidates for Selangor, Kedah and Penang tonight.
