Continuous Professional Development
Community Service
Patients Complaint Bureau Committee (PCBC)
The following were noted by the House when the President answered queries from members:8.1.1 Personal Data Protection Act, 2013 (“PDPA”)
The President informed the House that the PDPA was implemented in November 2013. Private dentists and practitioners were
considered as data users under the health sector. MDA had made an appeal to the commissioner to be exempted from PDPA since
under the Private Healthcare & Facilities Act, (“PHFA”) dental clinics were prohibited to use and shared patients’ data for commercial
purposes.
The President called Dr Chow Kai Foo (“Dr Chow”) to brief the house further on this matter. Dr Chow explained that the President
Dr Neoh Gim Bok, Dr. Leong Chee San of the MDASZ and himself had met up with the Commissioner of PDPA and explained to the
latter that in the PHFA, dentists are legally committed to protect all the data of their patients and hence it is not necessary ask dental
clinics to comply with the said PDPA. MDA was advised to appeal to PDPA for exemption. MDA has sent the appeal twice, but to date
no response from the Commissioner.
Dr Chow informed that there is a possibility that MDA might call for a boycott subject to members’ approval. However there is a need
to look into the deeper implications of an MDA boycott. He further informed that Malaysian Medical Association (MMA”) has given a
press statement of their objection but has yet to call for a boycott.
Dr Rani Paradam proposed to Dr. Chow to work with MMA. Dr Chow said he will look into it. Dr Shubon Sinha Roy added that MMA had
a greater rapport with the government and it would be an advantage to do so.
Dr Chow informed the house that he will look into it.
8.1.2 Evening Session Classes
Dr. Steven Phun commended MDA for the successful evening classes but gave his opinion that it can be accessed only by those in
Kuala Lumpur. He proposed broadcasting to the different zones via the internet and award continuing professional development
(“CPD”) points for those who attended.
Dr. Shalini informed him that it is possible for members’ to access to these talks via MDA’s website. Only those members’ whose
subscriptions are up to date would be able to access and members could also get the CPD points in the future.
After much discussion, the President’s Report was approved on the proposal of Dato’ Dr. S. Sivanesan and seconded by Dr. Malliga
Vadivello.
8.2 Report of Honorary General Secretary
Dr. Neoh Ein Yau tabled the “Honorary General Secretary’s Report 2013-2014” and led the meeting through the report.

professional advice on how to reduce the tax.

4. PROPOSED FINANCIAL REPORT OF BOARD OF TRUSTEE
Dato Dr How Kim Chuan informed the President that he would like to present the financial report of the Board of Trustees to the House. In
response, the President, Dr Neoh Gim Bok informed him that the said financial reports have not been approved by the President and the Council,
therefore the latter decided to reject the report.
The President further affirmed that the practice was in compliance of Article xvi, item 3 (f), page 48 of the Constitution. Hence, the report was
deemed invalid and would not be presented to the House for discussion.
Dr Shubon Sinha Roy concurred that any financial report must be submitted to the Council before circulation to the House. He noted that the
printing of reports cost is about RM14,000 and if the Council accepted the financial report, MDA will have to pay for the printing costs.
5. STATUS ON PURCHASE OF PROPERTY

The Board of Trustees (“BOT”) had found a suitable property
BOT tried to secure funds for the purchase of 3 units of shoplots at Kelana Jaya
Proposed to obtain approval from the members on the purchase of property
The developer requested for a deposit whereby MDA issued a cheque of RM50,000. However the developer requested for RM315,000 as
earnest deposit.
The president approved payment with the understanding given by BOT that the cheque was not to be banked in unless the members
approved the purchase at the EGM which was to be held on the 8/12/2013. The cheques was later banked in without Council’s knowledge
before the EGM.
On 8/11/2013, MDA received the letter of intent from the developer.
On 19/11/2013, the MOF informed the BOT that they can only approve tax exempt for the exact purchase price, hence the request was duly
changed to reflect that which is to be bought and not to build.
On 8/12/2013, EGM approved on the purchase of 3 units of shoplots. 26 votes for and 25 votes against.
Received letter from Alliance Bank that funds were insufficient hence sale and purchase agreement was KIV. Council was worried and decided
to purchase one unit only.
In early January 2014, the council realized the cheques meant to be a refundable earnest deposit that is not supposed to be banked
in pending a positive EOGM decision were already banked in. The accounts were presented to us by our accountant, after receiving the
November 2013 statement. But since the house already approved the purchase, the council did not see the need to pursue the matter.
RM315,000 was transferred back to APDC account from MDA’s main account.
16/3/14 - Council met with BOT. Council decided that it is not within their financial means to purchase 3 units. The decision from the council
to purchase only 1 unit was conveyed to the BOT.
On 24/3/2014, the MOF gave confirmation of the tax exemption for the purchase.
Received a letter from Registrar of Societies (“ROS”) and Council sent a reply to ROS. Now still awaiting a response from ROS.
15/5/14 - Council came up with further calculations to show that the purchase of 3 units was not feasible. The council is in favour of
purchasing one unit of property.
25/5/14 - meeting with BOT, Past Presidents and Council members together concurred that MDA cannot afford to purchase 3 units of
shoplots.
6. CONFIRMATION ON THE MINUTES OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING (“EGM”) HELD ON 8TH
DECEMBER 2013.
The President tabled the minutes of the EGM held on 8th December 2013 for members’ confirmation and Dr. Nagarajan commented that the
minutes were not in order due to the following :-
i.
ii.
iii.
Objection on the purchase of the shoplots presented in powerpoint were not recorded in the minutes.
Legality of the meeting - the meeting only commenced one hour later after the prescribed time.
Cheques issued for developer as deposit was issued from the bank account of sub-committee instead of MDA.
Dr Angie Wong commented that it was not necessary to record all that was discussed at the meeting except for the salient points and not verbatim.
Dr. V.Nedunchelain proposed to defer the purchase of shoplots passed at the EGM held on 8 December 2013 and that it should be discussed
further at this meeting on the issue of affordability of the purchase by the MDA.
Dr. V.Nedunchelain commented that the EGM held on 8 December 2013 should be aborted due to the following discrepancies:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The manner in which the EGM was conducted was in contravention of Article x, Section 4 - the lack of quorum.
The delay in commencement time of the meeting- meeting supposed to start at 2.00 p.m. but delayed until 3.15 p.m.
Illegality of the procedure on payment of cheques
Payment of cheques to developer was released prior to obtaining approval from the members at the EGM which contravened the constitution.
The sale and purchase agreement was not well explained to the house.
Tax exemption was not awarded at the time of EGM
The quotation of shoplot was too high for a leasehold property - RM608 per sq feet.
The proposed property was a leasehold property – not justifiable to purchase at such a high price
There is no independent body appointed to have a feasibility study on the proposed purchase of property.
MDA cannot afford to pay such high price of the proposed properties.

Dr. V.Nedunchelain called the house to defer the purchase of property and call off the deal.
Dato’ Dr How Kim Chuan commented that Dr. V.Nedunchelain has made allegations against BOT, implying that there was misconduct being
committed by BOT. Dato’ Dr Jaswant Singh and Dato’ Dr Yim Khai Kee commented that the allegations were uncalled for and members should not
report of ROS, instead they should resolve it within the house.
In response to the above queries Dato’ Dr How Kim Chuan and the President responded as follows:•
•
•
•
There is a quorum for the EGM as confirmed by the legal adviser during the meeting.
The time of the meeting was deferred due to some members caught in the traffic jam and the delay was properly addressed by the house
and agreed by members present. The deferment of time was legal as the legal adviser who was present had read the MDA Constitution and
informed that since the constitution was silent about “timing”, the meeting can proceed once a quorum is reached even though later than 30
minutes beyond the stipulated time of the meeting at 2pm.
Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) had given a verbal approval to MDA and prior to written approval, MOF requested MDA to obtain approval from
members for the purchase of property. In addition, MDA has to give an earnest deposit to the developer to secure the booking. This is a
normal and accepted practice.
MDA has already given members sufficient time to make a decision on the purchase at EGM.
The President informed the meeting that the officer, Cik Zuliana of ROS confirmed that EGM cannot be declared null and void by ROS. Only the
court of law can rule the EGM null and void if at all.
Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan voiced out his dissatisfaction over the allegations made by Dr. V.Nedunchelain as it was without substance and evidence,
hence the latter can be taken to Court. Furthermore, the payment to the developer was made through proper procedures.
He explained that initially he also queried on the payment via APDC instead of MDA but after confirmation from BOT that it was with the approval of
the president. Also MDA’s external auditor had confirmed that the transaction is legal. Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan then proceeded to sign the cheque.
Furthermore, Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan also assumed that the cheque would be released only after approval is obtained from the EGM. He informed
the meeting that he issued the cheques with a clear conscience.
Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan informed the house that he was hurt by allegations made by Dr V.Nedunchelain and especially when he had served MDA
for such a long period and he had made a special effort to sign the said cheques while he was having health problems.
Dr Paul Lee then proposed to call for another EGM to defer the resolution on the purchase of the shoplots approved at the EGM held on the 8
December 2013 and make a feasible study on the financial status of MDA prior to approving the purchase of property. The house agreed with his proposal except that Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan disagreed with the allegations of Dr. V.Nedunchelain on BOT.
After much discussion, on the proposal of Dr. Rani Panadam and seconded by Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan, the house accepted the amendment of the
resolution passed in EGM and the deferment of purchasing the property and called for an EGM to discuss the financial capability of MDA in order to
make a decision on any proposed purchase of property.
Dr. V.Nedunchelain further informed the meeting that he wished to retract and withdraw any of his statements that may have been seen to be of
bad intention.
The minutes of the EGM held on 8th December was then confirmed and approved by the house subject to the following amendments:1.
To record the comments and objection in the minutes by Dr. Patmanathan and the points raised by Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan through a letter
read by Dr. Patmanathan.
7. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF THE EGM HELD ON 8 TH DECEMBER 2013
7.1 Payment of cheques and Mode of operation of cheque signatories
Dr Shubon Sinha Roy was concerned about the payment of the cheques as the cheque was released to the developer prior to date of the
EGM.
Dato Dr A Ratnanesan, was not comfortable with the present mode of operation of cheque signatories as he is the authorised signatories for
both APDC and BOT.
However, some members felt that it is alright since BOT and MDA are for the benefit of members of MDA.
7.2 Letter from Registrar of Societies (“ROS”)
Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan enquired the reason for ROS’s letter. The President informed that it was about the lack of quorum at the appointed
time of the meeting and payment of cheque of RM315,000 to developer prior to the approval from members on the purchase of property.
The Council has sought legal advice on the above matter. The Council admitted MDA’s procedural weaknesses.
Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan further asked about the status concerning MDA’s reply to ROS. The President informed that the Council had already
replied to the letter and was awaiting a response from ROS.
Dato’ Dr. A. Ratnanesan offered to meet up with ROS with two Council members. However the President informed that they have done all
necessary action in meeting with ROS.

objected to his presence and the rest abstained from voting.
3. APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN

4. QUORUM
The chairman Dr YS Tan asked the Honorary General Secretary, Dr. Chow Kai Foo to confirm the quorum of meeting. The Honorary General
Secretary confirmed that there was a quorum of 54 present at 10.30 a.m. The Chairman then called the meeting to order at 10.40 a.m. and
declared the meeting duly convened.
5. NOTICE OF MEETING
The notice convening the meeting, having been circulated, was taken as read by all present.
6. PURPOSE OF EOGM
The Chairman briefed the meeting as to the purpose of the meeting:6.1 To rectify the actions of the Council in relation to its procedural errors in the release of the earnest money of RM315,000.00 paid to Mahsuri
Kelana Sendirian Berhad to facilitate the purchase of property at Pusat Komersil Parklane on 6 November 2013. This is to satisfy the query
of Registrar of Societies (“ROS”).
6.2 To table resolutions for consideration that were drafted by Dr Paul Lee, who was mandated by the house to do so at the 71st Annual General
Meeting (AGM) as listed in agenda 3 of the notice. The purpose of the resolutions were to rectify the procedural errors in the release of the
earnest money of RM315,000 to the said developer.
The Chairman explained that the ROS had de-registered the association due to the failure of the Council to adhere to procedures on
endorsement of payment of deposit to the developer. Therefore the house has to rectify the errors of the Council by endorsing the release of
the deposit to the developer.
He further informed the meeting that the deposits for the purchase of the two properties were not returned to MDA. The developer has
agreed to extend the offer to transfer the deposit for the purchase of one of the properties until 8 September 2014.
Hence the house has to decide whether to approve the purchase of property by using the earnest money. If the house disagreed to the
proposal, then the amount of RM315,000.00 will be forfeited.
The Chairman further informed the meeting that the Council had decided to purchase only one unit(D1) of the three properties identified as units D1 , D2 and D3 located at Pusat Komersil Parklane at 21 Jalan SS7/26 Kelana Jaya 47301 Petaling Jaya instead of three units.
Dr S. Nagarajan queried on the validity of the proposed three resolutions as listed in the notice of EGM dated 6 July 2014. In response to
his query, the Chairman informed him that the resolutions had been considered, modified and approved by the Council and President. The
Council and President have a right to do so as long as the purpose of the resolutions is adhered to, which is to rectify the procedural errors
in the release of the earnest money of RM315,000 to the said developer.
7. RESOLUTION 1
“THAT THIS HOUSE ENDORSES THE RELEASE OF THE EARNEST MONEY OF RM315,000.00 PAID TO MAHSURI KELANA SENDIRIAN BERHAD TO
FACILITATE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS UNIT D1 AT PUSAT KOMERSIL PARKLANE ON 6TH NOVEMBER 2013.”
The Chairman tabled Resolution 1 to the meeting for discussion.
The house noted the following comments from the members:i) Location of the proposed unit in Kelana Jaya is not a good investment as its location is prone to traffic jams and hence not conducive for
businesses and proposed that the passing of the resolution be deferred.
ii) EXCO should provide information/documents in relation with their negotiation/correspondence with the developer to the house.
iii) There is a difference in the figures between what is written in the minutes of last annual general meeting and the booklet provided to
members. The minutes mentioned RM50,000.00
In response to the above queries, the Chairman replied as follows:i) The usage of the property is more for members and not so much for investment purpose. The Council was mandated by the house to
hold this EOGM to resolve the said problems and hence the Council’s decision can override the member’s proposal to defer passing of the
resolution on the purchase of property.
ii) The Council has already disclosed all the necessary information/documents in the booklet, which was made available in the member log
in section on the MDA website. The access link was sent to all MDA members via email blast before the EOGM. The booklet explained the
chronological order on the payment of RM315,000.00 and why the initial payment of RM50,000 was insufficient.
iii) It was also understood that the Ministry of Finance had requested MDA to deal directly with the developer instead of the agent.
The Chairman requested for the information/ correspondences to be provided to the house subject to consent from the agent/developer.
The members cautioned on the seriousness of purchasing 3 units instead of one unit without approval from members.
The Chairman then asked the house to vote on whether they wanted to proceed with the voting of Resolution1.
On the show of hands- a majority of the house agreed to proceed with the voting of the Resolution 1.

The Chairman further reminded the house that the purpose of this meeting is to solve the problem of de-registration and it is up to the house to
decide on the proposed resolutions.
After much discussion, the Chairman put the resolution to vote by secret ballot and volunteers and scrutineers were appointed to help in counting
the ballots under the leadership of Dr Paul Lee.
Dr Paul Lee declared the results of voting as follows:Those for- 41
Those against-20
It was resolved that this house endorses the release of the earnest money of RM315,000.00 paid to Mahsuri Kelana Sendirian Berhad to facilitate
the purchase of the property identified as unit D1 at Pusat Komersil Parklane on 6 November 2013.
[Carried]
The house unanimously agreed to accept the voting results.
8. RESOLUTION 2
“ THE HOUSE AUTHORISES AND APPROVES THE PURCHASE OF D1 AT PUSAT KOMERCIL PARKLANE AT 21 JALAN SS7/26 KELANA JAYA 47302
PETALING JAYA COSTING RM7,335,000.00 PLUS ANCILLARY COSTS WITH CASH AND REQUIRED BANK LOAN.”
The Chairman tabled Resolution 2 for discussion. The Chairman highlighted to the house that if the members do not agree to use the deposit
RM315,000.00 to pay for this property as part payment, then the said amount will be forfeited.
He further informed the meeting that the EXCO had prepared a presentation on risk analysis for the purchase of property. The risk analysis report
was prepared by a third party namely KF Cheong and Co, the Chartered Accountant.
Dr. Shalini was invited to table the risk analysis report on the purchase of the property to the meeting.
Dr. Shalini informed the house that KF Cheong & Co had prepared three scenarios on the purchase of Unit D1, D2 and D3. Since the Council is
interested in purchasing unit D1, she will only briefed the meeting on the scenario of purchasing Unit D1.
She led the meeting through the Risk Analysis Report and some salient points were highlighted to the house:• The Council had found the most suitable unit for MDA, which is Unit D1, a corner lot, with 6 1/2 storeys.
• Unit D1 is a leasehold property and is gated and guarded with maintenance of 20 sen per square ft. ie approximately RM2,400 per month
• Unit D1 is accessible to LDP highway, to Paridigm Shopping mall and LRT station
• MDA will obtain a flexi loan of RM2.38 million for the purchase since MDA has a healthy cash flow and membership has increased
exponentially.
• Unit D1 is suitable for lecture halls, workshops venues and holding conferences, storage, club house and office administration.
• Unit D1 has an option to rent out the ground floor for RM8,000 per month.
• It has the advantage of including the down payment RM315,000.00 to be offset against the principal amount of purchase consideration.
• MDA has got tax exemption from the Ministry of Finance for the purchase of the said unit. It will save tax in the long run.
• MDA urgently needed a premise to move in for conducting lectures/workshops.
• 6% Government Service Tax (“GST’) will be saved if MDA purchase the property this year
• Re- Application to Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) for tax exemption is needed if a different property is purchased and there is no guarantee that
MOF will approve the re-application.
The Chairman then put the resolution to the house for discussion.
Dr Paul Lee gave his comments as follows:
•
He had asked the council to review the whole resolution again as the proposed property is not in the interest of MDA. He had proposed to
the council to postphone the purchase and instead give Board of Trustee (“BOT”) a month to find an alternative property as the proposed
property at unit D1 is not suitable due to the following reasons:i)
Heavy traffic jam
ii) It is not a good investment as it is not conducive to potential tenants’ business. It is very unlikely to get rental for the ground floor of
D1.
iii) The property is not in demand as the developer could have sold off the property when MDA defaulted in payment for more than 6
months.
iv) D1 got 6 floors and members do not need so many floors for conducting of conference, workshop, club house. Probably MDA only
needs 3 floors.
v) Have to consider factors such as who will be responsible to run the club house.
vi) Not advisable to obtain a flexi loan for the purchase of property as who will be responsible to pay the loan if there is an economic
downturn. Furthermore in the past, MDA paid by cash for purchase of property.

The council did not invite BOT for discussion on the purchase of proposed property even though the constitution had specified the role of
BOT to be in charge of rental or purchase of premises. Instead the BOT ‘s role was reversed with the council instructing BOT to carry out
their instruction on the purchase.
Advise the council to seek legal advice on getting back the deposit of RM315,000.00. However, he proposed that MDA purchase unit D3 if
the association is forced to buy the property as the purchase consideration is lower than unit D3.
Use cash to buy instead of loan so that MDA will not lose out in the event of economic downturn and failure to pay.
The issue of MOF and GST will have minimal effect if the association decides not to purchase the property
MDA is bidding to host FDI conference and it needs a minimum cash of RM2 million to bid.
The Chairman informed the house that the Council had already sought the legal adviser on this and legal adviser said that the deposit will be
forfeited.
In response to the above comments, Dr Neoh Gim Bok informed the meeting that with the Analysis Report of KF Cheong and comments from the
EXCO, there is an urgent need for extra space for MDA and since the Council felt that unit D3 is not suitable, there is not enough space, the house
should respect the Council’s opinion to purchase the corner lot.
A member commented that apart from the disadvantage of the location, the initial needs of a space of 5,000 sq feet was suddenly changed to
20,000 sq ft. BOT does not support the proposed purchase of property.
In addition there is no presence of banks in the location.
Dr Stephen Phun commented that BOT should look again at the purchase of property prior to committing to purchase. Dr Neoh Gim Bok commented that the house should move forward and not limit itself as membership is increasing, the association has to expand to
meet the needs of the growing membership.
In response to their queries, the Chairman commented that the purchase of the property was for members’ usage and not for business purpose. In
addition most of the time of usage is on Sunday, so the problem of heavy traffic is not an issue.
Furthermore, MDA has sufficient funds to purchase the property.
Dr Paul Lee proposed to change the resolution to purchase unit D3 instead of D1 and Dr Siva seconded the proposal.
At this juncture the legal adviser informed the house that the original resolution proposed by the Council was to take out Unit D2 and D3.
Now Dr Paul Lee proposed the original resolution to be amended by purchasing B3 instead of B1, the house needs to get clearance from the
Council and the President whether they have any objection.
It was noted by the house that the Council and the President objected to the amendment to the original resolution to purchase D3.
Hence the Chairman asked the house to decide whether they accept Dr Paul Lee’s amended resolution.
After voting on a show of hands, it was noted that a majority objected to Dr Paul Lee’s amendment to the original resolution.
The Chairman then put the original resolution to vote by secret balloting.
Dr Neoh Gim Bok proposed that past presidents be scrutineers and observers for this secret balloting under the leadership of Dr Wong Foot Meow.
The Chairman declared the results of secret balloting as follows:Those for- 31 Those against- 26
It was resolved that the house authorizes and approves the purchase of D1 at Pusat Komercil Parklane at 21 Jalan SS7/26 Kelana Jaya 47302
Petaling Jaya costing RM7,335,000.00 plus ancillary costs with cash and required bank loan.

9. RESOLUTION 3
“THE HOUSE APPROVES THE SALE OF ONE OR BOTH OF THE CURRENT PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE MDA IDENTIFIED BELOW TO REPAY THE
BANK LOAN IF REQUIRED:i) 69-2 (2ND FLOOR)MEDAN SETIA 1, PLAZA DAMAINSARA, BUKIT DAMANSARA, 50490 KUALA LUMPUR
ii) 54-2 (2ND FLOOR) MEDAM SETIA 2, PLAZA DAMANSARA, BUKIT DAMANSARA 50490 KUALA LUMPUR”
The Chairman tabled Resolution 3 for voting by secret ballot. The Chairman clarified that the purpose of this resolution is to obtain permission from
the house first, for the sale of the above properties if there is a need to repay the bank loan without calling for EOGM later.
Dr Wong Foot Meow was appointed scrutineer for secret balloting.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dear Esteemed MDA members,
Time really flies so fast; without realizing my council term has come to an end. While this term has been short it has been busy with almost every
weekend seeing some events or meeting. And now is the time to prepare for a smooth transition to the next council under our President –Elect Dr. John
Ting Sii Ong The deregistration notice from the Registry of Society, received on 12th June 2014 @3pm
12th June 2014 was the saddest day in the history of MDA, just 12 days after my installation as the president of MDA, we received the deregistration
notice ,dated 6th June 2014 from the Registrar of Society (WP), stating that all activities in relation to the MDA had to be suspended with immediate
effect. The Hon Gen Sec and I soon made an appointment with ROS to clarify matters related to the notice. A small group of delegation from MDA
managed to meet up with the Honorable Health Minister on the same evening to brief him of the unprecedented crisis and seek YB’s kind assistance in
solving the issue. An appeal letter to the Minister of Home Affair was delivered via ROS office on the 16th June 2014.
From the moment we received the deregistration notice from the Registrar of Society, the MDA Council and all the stakeholders have been working very
hard against the clock to get MDA reinstated. Finally, on June 3rd 2014, MDA’s status was reinstated. As promised to the DG of ROS, we will tighten up
our financial policy and make sure that the same error does not repeat itself. As DG of ROS and the director of Selangor ROS Director stressed that ROS
only acts upon receiving complaints from members, I truly regret the matter which should be resolved internally was brought to the ROS, no matter how
innocent the intention was.
I wish to thank all the stakeholders and individuals who had been lobbying for the lifting of the deregistration, especially PM Health Minister Principle
Director of OHD, MOH Dr Khairiyah, Datin Dr Nooral Zeila, Prof Dato Dr Hashim, En Saravanan Principle Private Secretary to YBKM, En Azman,
Setiausaha Sulit MOHA, Dato Shahlan, Political Secretary to PM and those who worked behind the scene. On behalf of the Council, I would like to thank
our members for their understanding and support during this difficult time.
The Tragedy of MH 17 Crash and dental records
On behalf of the MDA, I would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the Malaysian Airlines MH-17 crash.
The process of identifying victims of major disasters such as terrorist attacks or earthquakes is quite difficult by visual recognition. Comparison of
fingerprints, dental records or DNA samples with ones stored in databases or taken from victims’ personal effects are often required to obtain a
conclusive identification.
Member countries that lost citizens in the MH 17 crash will also be requested to gather and send ante-mortem data in order for the victims to be
identified as quickly as possible in order for them to be returned to their families.
On the request from the Forensic Odontology AM division, we assisted in sending a confidential email blast to our members, requesting them to provide
the dental record of victim of MH17 as ante-mortem data to assist in the identification of the victims body.
We cannot stress enough on the importance of maintaining complete and accurate patient records. This is a sign of quality care and an integral part of
our duty to care for the patients.
Goods and Service Tax ( GST )
Any person who makes a taxable supply for business purposes and the taxable turnover of that supply exceeds the threshold of RM 500k is required to
be registered for GST.
The Good and service Tax will be implemented on 1st April 2015. In line with this, MDA have registered with the Royal Malaysian Customs under the GST
Act 2014. Following is our registration number:
Malaysian Dental Association : 001048772608
GST will be imposed on the event registration fee, trade booth sale, property rental, and other services such as mailing service, selling of mailing labels.
GST will not be imposed on DPL subscription and membership subscription Dentists, who registered under the Private Healthcare Facility Act, are not
GST taxable, but Dental Suppliers with annual turnover exceeding RM500k are GST taxable parties.
The council had invited Mr Suppiah A/L Ayahoo, the senior assistant director of Custom II, GST Division to give GST talk to our members on 11th
December 2014 in the MDA office. The topic was “GST on Healthcare Services”. On behalf of MDA and Council I would like to thank the GST department
of Customs who readily came to our aid to address the GST issues on Healthcare Services in spite of their hectic schedule. The attendance of the GST
was overwhelming. Our members found the GST talk was timely as it helped to clear their doubt on GST issues.
The following GST related documents was uploaded to MDA website, and will be updated periodically:
• Guidelines on Healthcare Services
• GST Notes
• List of Medicines
• Frequently Asked Questions on GST

MDA delegation led by Dr Firdaus met up with the Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan on the 19th March 2015, to appeal to the Ministry of
Finance, to zero rate all dental equipment and material.
Malaysian Dental Association has work hand in hand with the Oral Health Division, Ministry of Health and Dental Traders to produce one single list
of Dental Equipment and Material for GST Exemption following the format that APHM had adopted. The list of Dental Equipment and Material for GST
Exemption had been submitted to the Tax Division of the Ministry of Finance at the end of March 2015. The item description are kept broad but specific
enough to describe core functions, and also indicated the price range for each items. We were not able to come up with the Customs Code for the items
listed as indeed they are broad descriptions.
FDI AWDC 2017
A resolution to bid for the Annual World Dental Congress of the FDI World Dental Federation was passed at the AGM 2013, held at Kuala Lumpur
Convention Centre.
Feasibility study by the bidding committee revealed that the budget proposed by FDI, includes:
1) Franchise Fee and Licence to run the FDI AWDC CHF400,000.00
2) FDI organisation, management, travel expenses for FDI officers and staff CHF 300,000.00
3) International Promotion CHF125,000.00
4) Expenses related to the organisation of the Parliament, ie
• To cover the logistic cost to host the business meeting, including the General Assembly.
• To provide travel and accommodation for all staff, committee and council members.
Due to the short period of MDA deregistration in July 2014, the bidding committee was unable to conclude the feasibility study, hence submit the
proposed budget and official bid to FDI by September 2014 in India. At that point of time, Abu Dhabi and China had already submitted their bid to host
the FDI AWDC 2017. Abu Dhabi had engaged Paul Wilson, Director of Wilson GCC Global Conference Consultants and the former Director of the FDI World
Dental Federation for AWDC to handle the bidding. Abu Dhabi has the full support from their government UAE. China has the numbers of participants and
traders, on top of full government support.
After much deliberation, the bidding committee and council had decided to defer the FDI AWDC bidding to year 2019.
MDA Promoting the Art and Science of Dentistry
MDA has hosted and organized many international dental conventions annually and continues to do so, drawing many renowned speakers in their
respective fields to share their knowledge with our dentists from the Asia Pacific region.
MDA and the three regional zones, namely the Northern, Southern and Eastern Zone have also been actively organizing Continuing Dental Education
programs and workshops to help our dentists keep up to date with advances in Dentistry. This has allowed our patients to benefit from a higher quality
of care.
MyCPD System, Ministry of Health Malaysia
MDA members are encouraged to register with the Online Monitoring of Continuing Professional Development System (myCPD), to plan CPD activities, to
record CPD activities and to keep track with CPD activities and credit points.
MyCPD still have the capacity of 30,000 for new registration. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage our members especially the Private
Dental Practitioner to register with the MyCPD, as the record show that less than 300 Private Dental Practitioners had registered with MyCPD. Please

MIDEC 2014
The Inaugural MIDEC organized by the Malaysian Dental Association was a great success. The event was held in the world class Kuala Lumpur
Convention Centre (KLCC) from 29th May to 1st June2014. 3000 participants registered for MIDEC 2014. Delegates, Speakers and Traders come from
24 countries.
The 22nd MDA Scientific Convention & Trade Exhibition
A new year, a new beginning’…Malaysian Dental Association had started off 2015 with a “Big Bang!” after it had successfully hosted the event at the
Sunway Convention Centre from 23rd to 25th Jan 2015. The 22nd MDA SCATE has once again proven itself to be one of the hottest dental events in
Malaysia, with an increase in registrants, exhibitors, visitors, dental students and para-dental workers. Total number of 2500 participants for the 22nd
MDA SCATE is one of the MDA records for our January event. I wish to thank all participants for making the 22nd MDA SCATE such a success!
MDA SCATE has evolved imperceptibly over the years into a prestigious annual event for continuing professional development with a gathering of top
international and local lecturers, clinicians, state of the art dental exhibition and MDA national business and society leaders to discuss issues that may
affect the global and local dental scene and well-being in the Malaysian dental scenario. The theme this year was the 3 E’s of “Explore, Expand and
Evolve”.

as a unique destination for world-class healthcare services. MHTC was established under the Ministry of Health Malaysia, bringing together the nation’s
dual heritage of hospitality and medical innovation, highlighting Malaysia as the preferred healthcare travel destination in the Asian region. The purpose
of MHTC is to streamline healthcare travel service providers and industry players in both private and government sectors so as to drive the industry to
greater heights
MHTC Participating Dental Providers are Hospitals and ambulatory care dental centres. We hope that even dental clinics that are well-equipped and
catered to receive and handle dental tourists are approved and registered to be a participating dental tourism provider in Malaysia. A selection
committee consisting of representatives from both the private and government sector will evaluate and select these dental providers to ensure that
the standard of service and quality dental care provided within the industry is continuously upheld. There is tremendous potential for dental tourism in
Malaysia. Currently there are4 dental clinics, which are not Hospital or Ambulatory registered under MHTC, namely

MDA DPL LIAISON COMMITTEE REPORT
1. The work of the MDA DPL Liaison went smoothly until the deregistration of the MDA in June of 2014. As a result of the MDA losing its locus standi,
she could no longer act for the DPL for several months.
2. Some of the consequences were that some members did not renew their subscriptions on time. As soon as the MDA was reinstated as the official
DPL representative in Malaysia, these were addressed and all those affected were reinstated with no loss of privileges.
3. The DPL cited various reasons and duly raised up their subscription fees. This necessitated sadly the following announcement to our membership:
Dear Esteemed Members of the MDA, It is with the deepest regrets to inform you that the DPL will be raising their annual charges from RM1350
to RM2085. This was despite our strenuous efforts in appealing against it. The reasons given were the increasing numbers of claims against our
members and the increasing costs of administration. The administrative costs escalated tremendously as a direct result of the recent deregistration of the MDA. Though the MDA was reinstated, the
DPL incurred huge unanticipated costs as a result of having to deal directly with the members for several months. The new charges will be kicking
in from January 2015. We left it to this late hour to inform you in the hope that DPL will relent but they have not. The MDA will persevere in getting
the best possible deal for our members in every way possible.
4. We foresee in the future that alternatives will have to be investigated and members should have choices.

MDA Trade & Sponsorship Committee
The trade committee 2 main tasks has always been to generate income for MDA through the 2 main conferences of MDA, ie: January SCATE as well as
June MIDEC. With the aid of Dr Edric Kho,, Dr Yong Peng Sang, Puan Razana & Ms Hannah, so far the overall performance has been very satisfactory,
with the 100% sold out of Trade Exhibition booths for 22nd SCATE & to date(28/3/2015) 93% of MIDEC 2015 booths been taken. The strong support
from traders as well as the large turnout of dental practitioners to the events are the keys to our success.
MDA Mentorship Program (MMP) at MDA Convention 2015
The MMP was first officially introduced in Jan 2015. Its aims were to provide exposure and guidance to dental students who are seeking more life’s
experience outside the classroom in order to pick up organisational skills, teamwork, leadership and soft skills amongst their peers and dentists
particularly during the events organised by the MDA.
The following is a report on the first MMP that has taken place in January 2015 at the MDA Convention in Kuala Lumpur.
There was a total of 152 applicants for the MMP. All who applied were accepted. However only 143 turned up. The participants of the MMP paid a fee of
RM50 and a total of RM 7150.00 were collected.
The two main reasons for applying to participate in the MMP were firstly to “gain experience” and “to gain new knowledge and updates in the dental
community and integrate that into the building blocks of becoming a competent professional dentist in the future”.
In accordance to their learning outcomes the mentees were placed accordingly to the various committees organising the recent Jan 2015 MDA
Convention ie. Registration (32), Organizing chairperson (17), Oral & poster (4), Scientific programme (45), Workshop (4), Opening ceremony (5),
Speaker welfare (20) and VIP (20).
A briefing was given to the mentors and mentees through the emails on separate occasions. This was aimed at introducing the aims of the MMP with the
intention of familiarising the mentors and to help facilitate the achievement of their mentees’ learning outcomes. Mentees would be able to focus on how
to achieve their learning outcomes. Mentors were then matched to their mentees.
Feedback:
Some hiccups were encountered in this first formal MMP. Feedback from all parties involved highlighted two challenging areas:
- Not all university student representatives were able to adhere to the instructions given through them to convey to the applicants from their
respective university. As a result there were difficulties in the collection of the RM50 fee, in the collection of the feedback form.
- Some mentees were missing in action without prior notice from their mentors
A scheduled debriefing session was carried out by Dr Ibrahim. Amongst some of the feedback received were that the mentees felt that they should
not be paying the RM50 fees as the duty sessions were not given to them as they had requested and they had no opportunity to interact with the
mentors to gain the benefits. Suggestions were also given to have a mixture of students from various universities in order to better interact.
Recommendations:
The MMP committee has these recommendations to make for future improvements:
- Clearer and specific information given to the mentees eg. Description of the work they will be involved in the various committees, number of days specified to be present at work and sessions available to attend the scientific program/expo, strict attendance and compliance are required.
- Mentors will work closer with the mentees
- The MMP fees will be paid and collected by the University representative BEFORE they approval of the application. Should they not be selected this
money will be completely refunded to them.
- Identification of mentees will be made via a sticker tag
- The MMP program committee members shall review the program to provide a more active role reflective of mentoring
REPORT OF THE MDA FDI LIAISON OFFICER 2014-2015
1. The MDA FDI Liaison Officer accompanied the MDA President and President-Elect to the FDI Annual World Dental Congress 2014 in New Delhi India.
It was overall a great experience being part of the worldwide fraternity of dentists meeting together with representatives of 200 plus countries
representing the world’s million or so dentists. A full report with pictures have been published in the MDA Newsletter Oct-Dec 2014.
2. We have also held the World Oral Health Day celebrations established by the FDI on the 20th March of every year. This was held in One Utama
Shopping Complex and launched by the Deputy Minister of Health, Datuk Seri Dr HilmiYahaya. There was close collaboration with the Ministry of
Health together with the various dental schools who sent teams of talented and energetic dental students who provided short presentations to the
public to promote oral health from the 18th to the 22nd of March. We are indeed grateful to Dr.Khairiyah the Principal Director of the Oral Health
Division and Professor Mohamed Ibrahim the chairman of the Deans of Dental Schools Caucus for their strong support and encouragement. Also a
word of thanks to our sponsor this year namely Johnson & Johnson. This year the theme is SMILE4LIFE emphasising the importance of oral health
in overall health. In order to smile for life, people need to maintain oral health for life and thus contribute to overall health.
3. We look forward to a continued significant presence in this prestigious world dental body and hope to be able to bring the FDI World Dental
Congress to our shores in the near future.
Constitution Amendment Committee
The MDA Constitution has been amended so many times and possibly even at times the amendments were never sent to the ROS for approval. A few
sections of the Constitution are also not in harmony with the others.
The Objective MDA Constitution Amendment Committee 2015 was to look in detail into the whole Constitution and to make proposals to make
amendments to present a more comprehensive MDA Constitution. To achieve this, a legal adviser was also appointed to ensure that the Constitution
meets the legal requirements in text and spirit.
The Committee had more than 4 meetings.
PAGE
Malaysian Dental Association [Annual Report 2014/2015]
30
The Broad principles in the proposals to the amendments are :1. All nominations for Council posts as well as Standing Committees shall be nominated a month before the AGM to remove the time consuming
process of receiving nominations, giving out the ballot papers, collecting back and then counted at the AGM. Thus members only cast their votes at
the AGM.
- Our association surely has reached the stage of maturity to have this method of nomination and election.
- In order to encourage more capable members to come forward to serve, the MDA Council shall be empowered to also propose nominations.
- The President Elect shall take a more pro-active role in encouraging more members to be nominated.
2. There shall be two categories of committees namely the normal MDA sub-committees appointed by council and the Standing Committees elected by
members at the AGM.
- This is to differentiate the mode ie via nomination or via election at AGM by members.
- Both categories of committees are subservient to the MDA Council.
3. The creation of a Speaker and deputy Speaker to chair all general meetings.
- This allows the President a better opportunity to be involved in the deliberations on matters discussed and also avoid been involved in partisan
issues.
4. The clear division of MDA Constitution and MDA By-Laws.
- We need a clear segregation of our By-Laws from our Constitution as By-Laws guide us in general administration and may need periodic
amendments.
- Amendments to By-Laws are “in-house” and do not need ROS approval.
5. Proper documentation of the By-Laws as this has not been properly carried out in the past.
- We need to systematically classify and document our By-Laws.
MDA Homepage Committee Report
For the year 2014, there were 163,343 visits as compared to 187,124 in year 2013, a decrease in 12.7%. This is partly due to the suspension of the
website activity for six weeks, from mid June-July 2014, as a result of deregistration by the Registrar of Society.
However, the slight decrease in the pages from 1,342,778 pages (7.17 pages/visit) in year 2013 to 1,267,728 pages in 2014, shows a higher pages/
visit, ie 7.76 pages/visit.
The hits/visits has been increased from 49.31 hits/visit in 2013 to 50.67 hits/visit in 2014
The bandwidth has been increased slightly, due to the hectic website activities especially after the reinstatement by the Registrar of Society in early
August 2014.

MDA Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee Report
The MDA CPD Committee has been entrusted to undergo a few responsibilities, namely verification of CPD activities conducted by MDA (Central and
Zones) for accreditation of CPD points by Malaysian Dental Council. This is to ensure that all members in benefit will gather not only knowledge but also
to accumulate their annual CPD points. Apart from this, the committee also has the duty to vet through all announcements of CPD activities that are
not conducted by MDA before they are disseminated to members through our email blast. This year, we have introduced an online CPD activity, MDA –
Colgate Live Webinar online (18th November 2014) to our members. Colgate has allocated more than 100 “seats” exclusively for our members to log
in and “attend” the seminar online. Members, upon completion of the seminar, were awarded a certificate from ADA CERP that could then be used to
claim for CPD points. We also wish to thank Dr Shalini for her effort in organising multiple Evening Lecture Series (ELS), supported by Colgate, in various
parts of Malaysia to further ensure that CPD activities were continuously made available in between main dental congresses.

HONORARY GENERAL SECRETARY REPORT 2014-2015
Dear fellow members of the MDA,
The beginning of the term of office started out with a bang! On the 12th day of office, we received the letter from the ROS and discovered that the MDA
had already been deregistered since 6th of June 2014. For the next 30 days or so we scrambled feverishly to reinstate back the MDA and this we did
on the 3rd of July 2014. Thank God and everyone who helped and prayed. Immediately we all plunged back gratefully into the tight routines of council
meetings, government meetings, convention organizing meetings and various other meetings and activities we had to conduct or go to in order to fulfil
our prime objective to promote the art and science of dentistry for the benefit of mankind.
We call upon all members of the MDA not only to continue to support the endeavours of the MDA but also to come into the council and her many
committees to contribute directly and creatively so that the MDA can fulfil her duties not only to meet the oral health needs of people but also to
maintain the honour and interest of the dental profession. In the process we will be able to foster and preserve unity and friendship. Serving in the MDA
is a tremendous opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in management, relationships, organization and networking in tandem with labouring for the
good of the profession and service to the public.
We will be looking forward to moving to our new premises in Kelana Jaya as soon as renovation is completed probably towards the end of the year. As
the world of dentistry continue to advance in leaps and bounds the MDA will continue to remain on the cutting edge of change for the better as we look
forward to the passing of the new dental act , the planning of workable healthcare financing for the nation, the increasing number of graduates and
growth of dental schools and postgraduate courses, the opening up to the whole of Asean and the world and many more challenges to come. The MDA
will remain proactive and aware as it looks ahead and plans for the future. So come in as not only members but into the council and committees and be
a part of the future.
“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social
change. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant
and to face the challenge of change. If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather
than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must
develop a world perspective.”
Martin Luther King Jr
“Let us all as one be reminded that all Malaysians would live together as members of one big family.”

It is with great pleasure I present the Malaysian Dental Association’s financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2014 (FY2014). The
financial statements are drawn up so as to provide a complete and accurate representation of the Association’s financial position. As always, all
accounting records have been meticulously compiled, adhering to proper and strict accounting procedures as is required in an association of this
magnitude. Thus I am pleased to report that MDA continues to maintain a sound financial position.

Contribution to FY2014 total income include the following:

3. Membership subscriptions and entrance fees: 6.4%
4. Other revenue, rental income and interest income: 12.7%
The Association reported a surplus after taxation of RM1,388,500.

and the various zone councils for their tireless commitment and cooperation in assisting our august association’s continued improvement in financial
standing.

Council Members’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The council members of the Association are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements. This responsibility
includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates
that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved
standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Association’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Association’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the council members, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

MFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014)
Amendments to MFRS7, Financial Instruments: Diclosures - Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures
The initial application of the above mentioned accounting standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have any material
impacts to the financial statements of the Association except as mention below:
MFRS 9, Financial Instruments
MFRS9 replaces the guidance in MFRS139, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on the classification and measurement
of financial assets. Upon adoption of MFRS9, financial assets will be measured at either fair value or amortised cost. It is expected that the
Association’s investment in unquoted shares will be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The adoption of MFRS9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Association is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 9.
The initial application of the other standards is not expected to have any material financial impacts on the financial statements of the Association.
(c) Basic of measurement
The financial statement have been prepared on the historical cost basis other than as disclosed in note 3.
(d) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statement are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Association’s functional currency. All financial information is
presented in RM and has been rounded to the nearest ringgit, unless otherwise stated.

(e) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
effect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which
the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation of uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements other than those disclosed in note 2(e) - Revenue and other income.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements.
(a) Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly attributable to bringing
the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they
are located.
Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property,
plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within “other income” and “other expenses” respectively in income
statement.
(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable
that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Association, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced part is derecognised to income statement. The costs of the day-to day servicing of property, plant and equipment are
recognised in income statement as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an the cost of an assets less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are
assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that assets, then components is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in income statement on a straight- line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property,
plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives/annual rates of depreciation for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Freehold land and building
Long term leasehold land and building
Computer
Air-conditioner
Electrical installation
Exhibition panel
Furniture and fittings
Office equipment
Signboard
Renovation
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at the end of the reporting period.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an
insignificant risk of changes in value with original maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposit.

(c) Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of other assets (expert for inventories, amount due from contract customer, deferred tax asset, assets arising from
employee benefits, investment property measured at fair value and non-current assets(or disposal groups classified as held for sale) are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment If any such indication exists, then the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for
use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same time.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows from
continuing use that largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units. Subject to an operating segment ceiling
test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the
level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purpose. The
goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair less costs of disposal. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable
amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first
to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the
carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) on a pro rate basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are
assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss
is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses
are credited to income statement in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(d) Employee benefits
(i)
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are measured on an
undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Association has
a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation
can be estimated reliably.
(ii) State plans
The Association’s contributions to statutory pension funds are charged to income statement in the year to which they relate. Prepaid
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Association can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when
the Association recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of
the reporting period, then they are discounted.
(e) Revenue and other income
(i) Services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the
end of the reporting period. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.
(ii) Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease
incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from subleased property is recognised as other income.
(iii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in income statement except for interest income arising
from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset which is accounted for in
accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.

Malaysian Dental Association [Annual Report 2014/2015]
52
(f) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially measured at fair value. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised
in income statement.
(g) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are stated at fair value.
(h) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in income statement except to the extent
that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences:
the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the temporary
differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate
to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary
difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Unutilised reinvestment allowance and investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax base of an asset, is recognised as a
deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the furture taxable profits will be available against which the unutilised tax incentive
can be utilised.
(i) Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The operations of the Association are subject to a variety of financial risks, including interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk
and cash flow risk. The Association has formulated a financial risk management framework whose principal objective is to minimise the
Association’s exposure to risks and/or cost associated with the financing, investing and operating activities of the Association.
(i)
Market risk
The Association has in place policies to manage its exposure to fluctuation in the prices of the key supplies and materials used. The
Association enters into fixed price contracts to establish determinable prices for supplies and materials used.
(ii)
Credit risk
The Association is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables. The Association has no major concentration of credit risk.
(iii) Liquidity and cash flow risk
The Association relies on its management of working capital to ensure that the cash flows with the operating cycle are sustainable.
(iv) Fair values
The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their respective carrying values at balance sheet date due to
the relatively short term maturity of these financial instruments.
There is no financial instrument not recognised at statement of financial position that is required to be disclosed.

THE HONORARY PUBLICATION SECRETARY’S REPORT
Firstly, let me express my gratitude to the MDA Council for appointing me the Acting Honorary Publication Secretary beginning December 2014. On
behalf of the president and the council members of MDA 2014/2015, I would like to thank Associate Professor Dr. Haizal Mohd Hussaini for doing a
good job in rejuvenating the MDA News with a new look.
I. Newsletter
It is indeed my privilege to inform the members that we have been able to publish the MDA News on time to provide members with the latest news
and science of dentistry. During the 2014/2015 term, we have managed to publish 3 issues of MDA newsletter, with the fourth issue (i.e. the JulySept 2015) slated to be co-published with the new Honorary Publication Secretary cum Editor immediately after the AGM. O the 3 issues, one of
the issue was published by Associate Professor Dr. Haizal Mohd Hussaini, and another 2 issues was published under my editorship. The upcoming
issue shall feature the outcome of the MDA AGM as well as the MIDEC 2015 meeting. It will also feature the last (third) part of the article Common
Medications Used in Medical Conditions and Their Implications to the Dentists.
II. Malaysian Dental Journal
Firstly, I would like to report that the Malaysian Dental Journal (MDJ) is currently listed in the Malaysian Citation Centre and can be viewed online at
MyJurnal Journal Management Centre. In fact because of this, we are able to use its editorial submission system to receive submission electronically
from all over the world.
In support to the work by Dr. Ng Woan Tyng, the chairperson of the MDA Homepage committee, we have completed the migration from the old
MDJ website (www.mdj.org.my) to become a subsection of the current MDA website since the beginning of April 2015. This is because our current
maintenance contract with Malaysia Design expires on the 31st March 2015, and the council agrees that it is more cost effective to host everything
related to the MDA under one website.
The MDA council has decided that all issues of the MDJ will be published only as e-journal in PDF format. We have worked on the back issues from
2011-2013 (previously hosted as html files at the old MDJ website) and they were uploaded them to this new webpage subsection. In addition, we
are working to scan and upload all our back issues since the 1990s onto this webpage.
I regret to inform the members that the latest issue of the MDJ published under my charge as the Acting Honorary Publication Secretary and
Associate Professor Dr. Chai Wen Lin as the Editor is the 2014 Volume 36 Issue 1. We are 2 issues short of being timely. Hence, I have tried to
encourage more authors, clinicians and academicians to submit in their work to be published The MDA councils on the 21st March 2015 Council
Meeting has agreed that the MDJ make a change in focus and aims to publish review articles that are of benefit to dentists, and also to publish
student research work to make it a niche journal for general dentists and dental students. Thank you.
Prof. Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong,
Acting Honorary Publication Secretary

MALAYSIAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION EASTERN ZONE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Greetings from Malaysian Dental Association Eastern Zone (MDAEZ)! I would like to thank all the Executive Committee members of the MDAEZ for making
my one year tenure of the office a smooth and fruitful one. I also wish to thank all our zone members who have been supportive all these years.
As was in the past, our Eastern Zone has continued to update our members with the latest trend in Dentistry by organizing dental congresses. Two
major congresses that were organized were the 2nd Sibu Dental Congress and 5th Borneo Dental Congress. Gone are the days of paper forms to
sign up for events. In the effort to improves efficiencies and eliminates unnecessary paperwork, our zone has started to incorporate online congress
registration and encourage our members to fully utilized it. This will save a lot of time and also allow participants to sign up when and where it is most
convenient for them from any internetenabled computer.
Our Zone has also actively provided community dental service to the public as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects either on its own or in
collaboration with other organizations. In collaboration with Colgate-Palmolive, the zone has participated in conducting oral health campaign in major
cities and towns in Sarawak and Sabah. Numerous outreach projects were successfully organized especially in the state of Sabah.
This year, the zone was proud to present to our members set of neck ties and scarfs with our zone logo as Corporate and Souvenir Items for MDAEZ.
The sales of the items were launched during our 2nd Sibu Dental Congress and have received good response from our members.
A congratulatory message goes out to the Secretary of MDAEZ, Dr Abdul Rashid Hassan, who was awarded the Ahli Darjah Kinabalu (ADK) during
TYT’s birthday on 04/10/2014. This award is a proof that the State recognized the Zone’s excellent work in improving the dental services in Sabah and
Sarawak.
Finally, I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to the principal office bearers of Malaysian Dental Association for their support and advice and most
of all, the opportunity and trust in allowing Eastern Zone members to participate in the running of activities organized by MDA. I wish to thank my
predecessors, Dr John Ting, Dr Roland Chia, Dr Hu Chang Lek and Dr Leong Kai Joe for their advicesand guidance. A special thanks to Oral Health
Division, Ministry of Health, Malaysia, Dental Traders and members of MDA. Last but not least, once again my sincere thanks to all the MDAEZ Executive
Committee members for their commitment and hard work.
Thank you.
Dr Edric Kho

The year 2014/2015 had been a tremendous and a successful year for Malaysian Dental Association Eastern Zone which had shown its continued
commitments in promoting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and providing community dental service through its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) projects. This year projection was also widening the association image to the Borneo Society together with the association goals
and its function. Three major events were organised during the year beginning with the 4th Borneo Dental Congress and Trade Exhibition cum 5th
MDA EZ Annual General Meeting, the 2nd Sibu Dental Congress and also The 5th Borneo Dental Congress with The Theme: “Exploring Beyond The
Boundaries of The Conventional Treatment in Dentistry” The 4th Borneo Dental Congress showed an increased in the number of trade exhibitors as
compared to the previous year.
The red letter of deregistration of MDA arrived at MDA Central on the 12 June 2014. The EOGM schedule on the coming Sunday had to be cancel
immediately and all central and zone activities had to be suspended. It was like a death sentence. On the 3rd of July 2014 after a hard work to regain,
we received a letter of reinstatement of MDA. The MDA and the profession were toothless No More!
The Zone also continued its collaboration with a major dental corporation, Colgate-­Palmolive, in conducting oral health campaign in 6 major cities and
towns in Sabah and Sarawak. This year the CSR outreach project saw the teams working together with other medical teams from other organisations or
Oral Health Divisions, Ministry of Health, to provide services at rural areas. A landmark achievement witnessed by the Zone was the continued programs
with Special Olympics with addition with the Autism group. This reinforced the commitment of the Zone towards providing dental service to all walks of life
especially groups with special needs.
A congratulatory message also goes to the Zone’s Hon. Secretary who was awarded Ahli Darjah Kinabalu, ADK by Sabah Head of State, Tun Datuk Seri
Panglima Juhar Bin Hj Mahirudin in conjunction with his birthday celebration. This award is a proof that the State recognised the Zone’s excellent work in
improving the dental services in Sabah and Sarawak.

updated with the recent development and implementation of our country policies to ensure that our healthcare remains ever efficient and sustainable.
President of the Malaysian Dental Association, Dr. Teh Tat Beng and the 22nd MDA SCATE Organising Chairperson, Dr. Ng Woan Tyng wish to
acknowledge the considerable ongoing support of Sponsors & Exhibitors who assist in making this event successful. This year’s Convention was notable
for the positive tone struck by the speakers, delegates and traders as they consider future potential for new growth in technology and quality of dental
care for our patients. MDA will continue to lead our dental community with more of such constructive events in the years to come.

WORLD ORAL HEALTH DAY 2015 MALAYSIA
The World Oral Health Day 2015 Malaysia was celebrated with great success this year. The WOHD Organizing Committee was formed and met numerous
times to fix the objectives and flesh them out. As the day approached, the MDA made the following press announcement:The Malaysian Dental Association representing the dental profession in Malaysia is pleased to organise the WOHD in Malaysia with the support of the
Oral Health Division of the Ministry of Health, the Dental Deans Caucus of all the Dental Schools of the Universities of Malaysia, the Armed Forces of
Malaysia, the private practitioners and with the generous sponsorship of Johnson and Johnson. We hope to create an unprecedented awareness
of the importance of oral health to overall health to the Malaysian public. As such we earnestly request your esteemed newspaper to
not only publicise the run-up to the event but also to cover all the events of the official launch on March 20th and disseminate important oral health
information to all Malaysians that can be obtained through the public lectures, puppet shows, videos from dental students and skits performed during
the day of the launch. Though the official launch is on 20th March 2015 at the One Utama Shopping Mall by the Deputy Minister of Health, the oral
health campaign begins on the Tuesday 17th March all the way to Sunday 22nd March during the coming school holidays. Free dental checkups and
gifts plus lots of oral health entertainment throughout.
What is WOHD?
World Oral Health Day (WOHD) is celebrated every year on the 20th March by up to 200 nations around the world. Co-ordinated by the FDI World Dental
Federation which is in official relations with the World Health Organization(WHO), it is an international day to celebrate the benefits of a healthy mouth
and to promote worldwide awareness of the issues around oral health and the importance of looking after oral hygiene to everyone old and young. It is
a day for people to have fun – a day that should be full of activities that make us laugh, sing and smile! Please go to this links for further information: http://www.worldoralhealthday.com/about-wohd/
http://www.mda.org.my/index-enter.html
Coming back to oral health and teeth, the World Oral Health Day will help the dental profession to disseminate to the nation the importance of investing
in the biting power of the nation for the sake of overall health, good nutrition, good appearance and a smile that will last for a lifetime. Smoking in all its
forms and excessive and hidden intake of sugar in all its forms should be curbed to prevent premature tooth loss, gum disease, tooth discolouration,
bad breath, reduced ability to taste and smell and also oral cancer.
Once again, we earnestly request publicity and coverage of the event by your esteemed newspaper for the benefit of all Malaysians.
When March 20th arrived, everything went smoothly with the whole organizing committee, helpers, supporters from the different sections of the
profession well represented. Most of the top public dentists from the public sector and the universities were there together with dentists from the
private sector and numerous dental students from the various dental schools. The public support was overwhelming throughout the several days of
the campaign to raise the overall awareness of oral health among the public. The try for a place for the Malaysia Book of records for the most number
of people to oral rinse their mouth in one day in one place was outstandingly successful with the target of 2000 surpassed by almost 500. You can
imagine how busy the 3 dentists were that day giving free dental check-ups. They must have worked like crazy. The viral video contest among the dental
students threw up a lot of talented creations to promote oral health. Congratulations to Lincoln University Dental School for winning the first prize and
second and third went to UiTM. Thanks to all the other dental students who sent in their wonderful video creations. Better luck next time.
The real prize for having a great show was the great coverage that oral health was given by the mass media. There were numerous newspaper reports
on the event that were spread out over 2-3 weeks even after the event. Several TV reports and interviews. At least one radio station gave a live
coverage of one of their presenters going through the exhibition and joining in the oral rinse. Oral health awareness throughout the nation was raised by
a few notches and much useful information on oral health were disseminated to the eager and receptive public.
Many thanks to everyone involved from the different sectors of dentistry and especially to the members of the organizing committee and their many
helpers who all got together to make this year’s WOHD a real happening for the oral health of Malaysia.

PCBC REPORT 2013-2014
First, I would like to thank the Council for reappointing me as the Chairperson of the PCBC.
The PCBC was formed with the help of DPL (Dental Protection Limited), with the primary intention of helping members of the MDA in general and DPL
members in particular, to mediate between themselves and patients when a dispute arose. However, if the complaint against the clinician was criminal in
nature or if the complainant wanted the clinician concerned to undergo punitive punishment, we advise the complainant to contact the MDC.
The composition of the members of the PCBC is as follows:Dr. Darren Yap (Co-Chairperson)
Dr. Shubon Sinha Roy
Dr. Chow Kai Foo
Prof Dr. Phrabhakaran Nambiar
Dr.Alex Lo
Dr. Steven Phun
Dr. Chia Ah Chik
Dr. Jasprit Kaur
How does the PCBC work? When there a request either from the patient or clinician to help mediate a dispute, we first try to get the two parties to talk to
each and see if they can get to resolve it themselves. Usually, we advise the clinician to contact the patient directly. Sometimes, it may be necessary for
the PCBC to talk to the patient first prior to the clinician to initiate contact. However, there are times it may be necessary to bring both parties together
with the PCBC acting as a mediator. This is a voluntary process which both parties are aware of. In the event of a successful mediation, a written
agreement is signed by both parties. If, unfortunately both parties cannot come to an agreement, both parties have legal recourse. It is important to
note that if lawyers are involved, the PCBC will not assist in the mediation. It must also be noted that we do not have powers of arbitration and therefore
cannot enforce the parties to comply with a signed agreement. While every effort is made to assist both parties in arriving at an equitable resolution, the
onus of a successful negotiation is on both the parties concerned. As in all mediation processes, the patient, clinician or the PCBC can withdraw from the
mediation thus effectively terminating the process.
As we have stressed in our previous reports, more often than not, miscommunication and interpersonal factors are the reasons disputes occur. Seldom
are clinical ‘mistakes’ alone the cause of a complaint. In other words precipitating factors like adverse clinical outcomes, iatrogenic errors, inadequate
care, fees collected without predisposing factors like rudeness, miscommunication, delays, inattentiveness etc. seldom result in a complaint. We need to
accept these are from the patients perspective of expected standards of service and good clinical practice; what more when we are moving away from
paternalistic dentistry. It also does not help when the trigger of complaints are our own colleagues. Whilst the PCBC does NOT condone negligence,
fraud, misconduct, substandard clinical care etc., we urge our colleagues to get all the facts in before we encourage patients to complain.
This year, there has been a drastic drop in the number of official complaints (written) to the PCBC, only 12. Of these, two involved oral surgery, one
orthodontic case, two cases of overcharging and the rest involving communication issues. However, there were many of our colleagues and patients,
who contacted the PCBC, requesting help to resolve issues without going through official channels. The PCBC was unsuccessful in resolving one of the
cases as the patient wanted remedial action at the MDC. Two unresolved cases from 2013 also could not be resolved and went to the courts.
Here are some examples of cases that came to our attention.
Case 1
Mr. X had complained that Dr. Y had done restorations on his teeth without informing about the costs. The patient left after paying partially for the
costs. The patient had to go abroad and there suffered pain from one of the restored teeth. He had to seek retreatment there and on his return wanted
cost of the overseas treatment borne by Dr. Y, along with compensation. Dr. Y, agreed she did not inform Mr. X of the costs. The MDC, looks dimly upon
cases where the patient is NOT informed of the costs before commencing treatment.
Case 2
During a visit by officers of the Oral Health Division, an unregistered dentist was found to be attending to a patient. The PIC of the clinic, Dr. K, was asked to explain. If, the full weight of the Private Healthcare Facilities Act is brought to bear on Dr. K, he is found guilty, he stands to be fined RM
100,000. DPL would not assist in paying the fine as it will not indemnify a criminal act.
Lately, one of our colleagues, Dr. T, had the misfortune of having a patient she had just attended to, pass away in the waiting room. Despite the best
efforts of our colleague (administration of CPR, oxygen etc.) and other emergency protocols, the patient was pronounced dead by the ambulance team. A CCTV recording of the incident supported the above. The investigating team from the Oral Health Division was very sympathetic and helpful to
Dr. T. This incident is reported here to remind our colleagues, we need to be well versed in emergency protocols. One never knows when these
emergencies can strike.
We strongly urge the members of MDA to become members of DPL so as to have indemnity cover. You will only appreciate it when a problem arises and
more so when it goes to the courts. Legal advice and costs do not come cheap. There are also other insurance companies that provide insurance cover.

As we keep mentioning in our earlier reports, our profession is increasingly coming under greater scrutiny from the public at large. Gone are the
days when clinical skills alone were sufficient to treat patients. Now, our patients expect us to show equally good interpersonal skills. We also need
to realize they expect to be involved in all aspects of decision making when it comes to treatment. We have moved from implied consent to informed
consent and now it is all about shared decision making. Ignoring this aspect of patient care will be at our own peril.
Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone of the PCBC team who have given their time, input and effort to help resolve our cases, expecting
nothing except the satisfaction of helping both the patient and the clinician.
Thank you
Dr. Shashitharan Sadacharan
Chairperson, PCBC
