Man awarded RM1.2m for losing eye during surgery

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has awarded RM1.2 million in damages to a company legal manager who lost his right eye during a surgery 11 years ago.

Judicial commissioner Zura Yahya also awarded Megat Noor Ishak Megat Ibrahim costs and interest. Of the amount, RM1 million was for aggravated damages.

Zura said she was of the opinion that the blindness in Megat Noor's eye was because of bleeding (suprachoroidal haemorrhage) as a result of bucking (sudden movement).

"Therefore, the first and second defendants breached their duty of care when they failed to warm the plaintiff (Megat Noor) of the risk of bucking," she said.
