Claims linking cancer cases among workers at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre's Nuclear Medicine Unit to radiation safety violations have been deemed unsubstantiated. Investigations by the Health Ministry and the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry found no evidence of critical safety breaches. Both ministries confirmed compliance with safety regulations under the Atomic Energy Licensing Act. The university also denied the allegations, assuring that radiation exposure levels are monitored and controlled, with all workers using personal dosimeters.
