Hospital probes parang attack

NST: KLANG: Authorities at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital have initiated a probe into Sunday’s robbery in which an undergraduate was seriously injured.
Hospital director Dr Yahya Baba said this was the first such incident at the hospital, and security officers are also looking at how to prevent a recurrence.
At about 10pm, 23-year-old Nur Atiqah Yaacob was slashed three times by a parang-wielding robber in an isolated carpark of the hospital.
Her left hand was nearly severed at the wrist, her right hand was injured and she needed 10 stitches to close a gash on her head.
Yahya said the hospital had adequate guards to monitor the hospital’s four entrances, and measures were in place to protect the staff working night shifts.
But, he said, Nur Atiqah should not have been in the carpark at that time of night because visiting hours were over.
