See Searches 57, 58, 61, 63 for Dato' Anwar Fazal who had provided information about Dr. Wahab.

I received an e-mail from Dato' Anwar Fazal on 9 April 2006 with the subject "Re:  your visit/research.. the personalities in the medical history of malaysia.....". He asked me about my research. He also mentioned about Dr. Wahab's retirement in Penang and that he has passed away. He also mentioned about Datuk Seri Mohd. Yussof Latiff.
