Justice for Lisa
Lisa Ten was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in June 2008. She had undergone allogenoic stem cell transplantation in Oct 2008 but her disease lapsed in March 2009. She was admitted on 13th April at Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) for chemotherapy. She was also about to undergo another cell transplantation. But on 25th April 2009, Lisa Ten passed away at PPUM.
Her parents claim that Lisa could have been saved if the staffs at the medical centre were to be more careful in handling Lisa's health. According to Mr. and Mrs. Ten, Lisa died due to carelessness of the doctors and staffs of PPUM who treated her.
In an official letter to the parents dated 15th May 2009, the doctor who attended to Lisa admitted that there were some non compliances by few of PPUM staffs when examining or doing procedure for Lisa.
For more than a year, Lisa's parents have been seeking justice for Lisa. The matter has been brought to attention of the Malaysia Medical Council (MMC). An inquiry was conducted by the MMC and the outcome still pending.
Representing the deceased family, lawyer and Johor State Assembly Member (ADUN) for Senai Johor, Ong kaw Meng, told Komunitikini reporters that Mr. and Mrs. Ten will be looking into taking possible legal actions against the medical centre and their staffs depending on the outcome of the inquiry.

Death Penalty: Through My Lens (A Photo Contest Organized by Amnesty International Malaysia)
Whip out your lenses and flash us your best shot! Amnesty International Malaysia is calling all amateur and professional photographers to share their thoughts and views on the death penalty in picture form!
In conjunction with World Day against the Death Penalty which falls on 10 October 2011, we are organising a photography competition. The winning photographs will then be incorporated into Amnesty International Malaysia’s campaign materials.
Details of the competition are as below:
DATE: 22 August 2011 – 1 October 2011
THEME: Death Penalty: Through My Lens
PRIZES: 1st Place: RM 800
2nd Place: RM 450
3rd Place: RM 250
*Winning photographs will also be used to further AIM's campaigns. I.e. be exhibited, made into tshirts and other merchandise, posters, postcards..etc.
Further rules and regulations can be found attached to our promotional posters. Check out our main profile!
This year’s World Day focuses on the inhumanity of the death penalty. People often forget that death sentences are not only the ultimate physical assault to a fellow human being but they also affect a person mentally. Many death row inmates suffer years of living by a thin thread of hope. In countries such as Japan, inmates are kept in solitary confinement and are only informed of their executions hours before it is implemented. Some are driven to insanity by this state of living. It is these more dormant issues that Amnesty International Malaysia wishes to highlight and provoke thought on.
We are looking for photographs which articulate the issues and controversies surrounding the death penalty. In order to do this, photographers would first have to research and understand the complexities which surround this human rights issue. Amnesty International Malaysia hopes that this competition will bring about a new wave of awareness. We also seek to tap into the creative side of people’s mind leading to campaigns with more public appeal.
Put on your thinking caps, hang conventional methods, inject creativity into your systems and fire away. Tell us a thousand words through your photographs!
Winners will be announced on 13 October 2011.
