Explanation:
MOH's Malaysian National Medicines Policy, 2nd edition, 2012 and the 2013 Report on the Economic Transformation Programme quoted orphan drugs as ubat orphan (orphan in italics). Since PRPM uses virus piatu for orphan virus, I guess it makes sense if you wish to adapt orphan drug to ubat piatu. But of course it sounded a bit alien, maybe initially.
