Ms Noor Azlin Abdul Rahman, 39, has spent the last seven years fighting a cancer that has become terminal, and the last four waging another battle. She was suing a public hospital and three doctors she had accused of not detecting her cancer earlier.
When the legal proceedings started in January 2015, she was working full time and earning $4,000 a month. By the time the High Court dismissed her case in February last year, she had chalked up legal bills in excess of $1 million.
