The Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy has strongly condemned a raid on a health outreach event in Kota Bharu last month, describing it as a dangerous move that threatens public trust in the healthcare system.

In a statement today, Galen Centre chief executive Azrul Khalib criticised the June 17 incident, where attendees of an event co-organised with a government clinic were accused of participating in a “gay party”, raided by authorities, and reportedly threatened with prosecution.
