He said the fake account under the name “Abdullah Hisham Noor” was not his.

“Kindly be informed that my personal Facebook account is Hisham Abdullah (https://www.facebook.com/drnoorhisham) and the page is Noor Hisham Abdullah (https://www.facebook.com/DGHisham/).

“The imposter who utilised this fake account has been sending personal messages to numerous people asking for money and sending seductive texts to our nurses,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page.

Noor Hisham advised those who had fallen prey to the imposter to lodge a police report and complain to Facebook.

He added that he had also lodged a report asking Facebook to take down the fake page.

“Please be careful that in this day and age, we have a full range of information, but more importantly we must be informed and aware of what is accurate and what is fake.”
