Nur Atiqua3 -22nd.June
After the 5 months wait, first, searching for money to pay the hospital(with not much help from Chua Jui Meng, the then Health Minister), then looking for a donor (Praise the Lord, a good samaritan came along; he is Ahmad Khairi Al-Hadi), then the Health Ministry needs to check the donor whether the donor is doing it for money or pleasure, then along came the words of our Prime Minister which I believe trigger Dr. Chua Soi Lek to pushed the immediate decision-making process; now when the date is set on 26th. June, 4 days from today, the Paediatric Consultant Dr. Goon Hong Kai from Subang Jaya Medical Center is gravely concerned that Atiqah's lungs are badly infected and, it is not conducive to begin surgical liver transplant. The only hope is that within this 4 days, the lungs will recover enough to sustain the little girl thru' the operation.
We can only wait, and at this time, we need GOD's miracle and curing hands; that is, IN GOD WE TRUST, AMEN, INSHA-ALAH!
For all the follies that got on the way, it is hypothetical - the time taken and wasted by the Ministry officials who had passionately complied to all the policies and procedures in the name of good governance, if only, and only 'if only' (as it's past), may have made the operation possible and less painful, would have increase the probability of success.
This kind of critical life-threatening situation, you seem to see our system management in the Ministries wants to function perfectly in accordance with the rules and regulations - when lives are at stake - they want to do the "right thing". The Ministries thrives on a damage control system process, not on loss-prevention, and they don't understand about "doing things right" - the effective and bold decision-making process is absent. No one in the Ministries want to take responsibility and put things right. The Communication system don't work in the interest of the Rakyat. We have money to built twin tower, but would not spare some for Nur Atiqah whose parent was forced to seek donations. Chua Jui Meng says the Ministry will contribute after the public had done so, i.e a dollar for a dollar. The Government is willing to contribute to PLUS $120 million to help pay half the cost for the Jelapang Toll reconstruction, and applies similar policy of offering to pay half of the cost ($300,000) for Nur Atiqah's liver transplant. PLUS makes billions of profit (for their few shareholders, not the Rakyat, the society-at-large) yet they receive contribution to help maintain the highway that was "Privatized" to them.
The Government do not have a long-term solution yet to correct the systemic malfunction.
How long more will it take for the Government & it's Ministers to change and be altruistic; to care for the people, the Rakyat who had entrusted them with the duty of care and to take responsibility for the Nation's well-being - the society-at-large, not the selected few and the cronies?
To quote Ronald Reagan Jr. words at his father's burial ceremony:
"Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man, but he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians, wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage. True, after he was shot, and nearly killed early in his presidency, he came to believe that God has spared him in order that he might do good. But he accepted that as a responsibility, not a mandate. And there is a profound difference."
Would we be seeing the profound differences in our New Cabinet headed by Pak-Lah? God only knows and we can only pray that HE will move their hearts and minds; or if not, Please GOD, crush them to save the lives of many poor souls in Malaysia. And Please save Nur Atiqah, the innocent baby! Amen. Allah Al-Akbar!
