Anwar Reported Poisoned

A government hospital report that he was not poisoned failed to convince supporters

Worried over Anwar's failing health, a sample of his urine was secretly sent to an Australian laboratory for testing. The result showed massive arsenic poisoning of 77 times the normal level. Anti-government demonstrations broke out again to protest this Machiavellian deed. Anwar was warded in a government hospital for testing and after a lengthy delay of a month when all traces of arsenic poisoning would have been eliminated  the hospital issued a report that he had not been poisoned. Nevertheless the hospital failed to pinpoint the cause of his serious medical symptoms including severe headaches, hypertension, abdominal cramps, loss of hair, loss of weight and dryness of skin which are classic symptoms of arsenic poisoning. Interim tests confirming high arsenic levels were never published. But can people really expect a government controlled hospital to come up with any other finding?
