Former Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, who has been convicted and sentenced to a year’s jail for corruption yesterday, is expected to lose more than his pension, as his practising license is likely to revoked.

Medical practitioners and dentists will lose their licence upon conviction of an offence, and hence any chance of the former Selangor menteri besar providing remitting community service for free may not be not feasible, a senior lawyer said.

Baljit Singh Sidhu said this is stipulated under Section 19 of the Medical Act 1971 and the Dental Act 1971 as well, where upon conviction of an offence, a doctor or a dentist loses his practising licence.
