PETALING JAYA: It was just 20 cases in 2004, 51 last year and in the first nine months of this year, there were already 46 cases.

But since the New Sunday Times highlighted the Chemistry Department’s paternity testing service on Oct 8, it has been getting one call a day on average.”We have even had a call from a Penang state assemblyman,” said Primulapathi Jaya, who is the head of the department’s DNA/Serology section.

“The assemblyman said he had been getting a lot of enquiries from people in his constituency and was calling on their behalf.”

Most of the calls were from men who are worried that they could be raising another man’s child.

But, there have also been a few calls from women who want to sue for child support.

Primulapathi says it normally takes about three to four weeks for DNA samples to reach the department after enquiries are made.

The samples are sent to either the department’s DNA lab in Petaling Jaya or to its branch in Kuching for analysis.

The DNA Paternity Test has an accuracy rate of 99.9999 per cent.

The department charges a fee of RM1,500 for the analysis of two DNA samples and RM200 for each additional sample. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

For further information, please refer to www.kimia.gov.my or call the Chemistry Department’s Serology/DNA Laboratory at 03-7985-3842.

Azhar Mansor’s Side of Story

Azhar: I’m a victim of nasty rumours

LANGKAWI: The man at the centre of the rumours of a mass baptism of Muslims at a church in Ipoh said yesterday he was not surprised over allegations about his religious status.

Datuk Azhar Mansor said he had been a victim of malicious accusations, including claims that he had converted to Christianity, seven years ago.Speaking to reporters here yesterday, the national mariner said the first few accusations on his religious status surfaced via emails during his solo sail around the world between Feb 2 and Aug 11, 1999.”This allegation has been around since 1999. It’s not very nice, but the incident in Ipoh last Sunday is a blessing in disguise because now the authorities can investigate.”We didn’t ask for these things (accusations) to happen. This matter may soon be over,” he told reporters at the Telaga Harbour Park here.

It was reported that SMSes and emails claiming Azhar would baptise a group of Malays in a church in Silibin, Ipoh, on Nov 5 had been in circulation last week.

Azhar told the Press the accusations were “normal” and should not be blown out of proportion.

“I could not have done what was alleged in the SMS on Sunday because I was working at the yacht marina in Telaga Harbour, Langkawi, just as I have done for the past four years.

“I don’t know how my name was implicated. Let’s all wait for the authorities to investigate and I hope the people will be patient and not jump to conclusions which will not benefit anyone.”

Appearing jovial throughout the hour-long interview, Azhar said he had received telephone calls from family members advising him to take care of his safety
