Dear Dzul,
I fully agree that only qualified pharmacists should be Deans of Schools of
Pharmacy. I know not of any profession that the Dean of a profession is
someone other than the relevant professional.
We need to correct this in Malaysia.
Also the Chairman of the Pharmacy Board is a non-pharmacist. I fail to
understand.
