DON'T BLAME HEALTH MINISTER

0000 "It is not fair to blame the Health Ministry for the death of Nur Atiqah; its not our fault," says Chua Soi Lek, the Health Minister. Then, who was at fault? Who was the party that delayed the process? When things go wrong, no one, absolutely no one takes responsibility. For six months, Nur Atiqah waited for the operation and we firmly believe that she would have had a successful operation had it been done earlier before she had the lung infection. It is pointless now to point fingers but the problem is - did we learned the lesson? Will we improve and cut off those bureaucratic time-consuming-delaying process (carried out in the name of complying to procedure and rules), improve efficiency and effective and timely actions? Look at the HUKM case reported earlier - 3 months for a medical report . Reasons:- doctors not free, outstation, one by one process action, etc, etc. It just point to our system - a Mulfunction system run by people who had absolutely no passion for the profession. They treat it just as a job - a paid job, 9 to 5 daily, 5 1/2 days a week, for the meager salary; unlikely to get promoted for hard work unless you rubbed the right shoulders, carry the balls and lick the politicians' toes. Do you think other hospitals overseas such as Singapore, do performed the same low standards like ours, and they have any less application for reports? Look at the 33 medical students problems on the convertible loans which had yet to be concluded by the Government. According to the report, Datuk Fu Ah Kiow, the deputy Higher Education Minister recently said in an interview that, "The students must be accepted by the private University while, the Government is still working out details on the convertible loan for them.” And he was unable to reveal details of the loan. Is this the efficiency standard of our people, of the Government? BULLSHIT!
