I think the person/scientist who made the discovery should be given power to choose at least the proper way of naming the things he discovered. great insight but I do not understand the part about his wife. by the way, it will also be a problem if there were more than 1 virus to be found in one place, then wouldn’t it be Melaka virus 1, Melaka virus 2?

Oh yeah.Apart from Nipah virus, Dr chua also discovered the Melaka virus and Timur virus. There's a rule now in the international nomenclature society against naming a virus/ sickness after d discovere's name. Imagine if u discovered more than 1 virus..R u going to name it John virus 1, John virus 2 and so on?? [I think d ketua menteri melaka should take note about dis(yeah d same ketua menteri who awarded shah rukh khan a datukship!!!)coz when Dr chua held a press conference to announce his discovery of d Melaka virus, d clueless CM accused Dr chua of tainting Melaka's name with a disease and d CM actually suggested that Dr chua name d virus after himself.He should definetely do his research abt d nomenclature thing 1sr b4 opening his mouth. Hmmm..and u wonder why Malaysia don't have many discoverers and not advance in research!!! Naming d virus after Dr chua”s wife is so not cool.Do u have any idea how ***** she is??

" The disease episode has been hypothesised to arise initially from two equine mortalities in Ampang in 1997. Subsequently, in 1998, mild disease in swine followed by mortalities in man in Ampang/Ulu Piah pig farms were reported. A similar disease in pigs and mortalities in man was reported in Sikamat/Sg.
