Apologise, M Saravanan

My say...

Now that the Health Minister has cleared the air about the recent accusation by M Saravanan, this writer believes that the Deputy Federal Territories Minister should owned up and apologise, both to the hospital involved and the rakyat.

If what he said and what the results showed, especially when the numbers of patients claimed are itself wrong, then Saravanan indeed has a lot to apologise for. He has led the Rakyat to believe that his sensational accusation was indeed what true. It turned out to be a farce and that is what the rakyat doesn't need right now. Yes, at most times hospital services in many places are sloppy, but if there is no truth in what he has accused in this particular case, then shame on him! He may have just demoralized many hardworking doctors and hospital staff and probably damaged the reputation and good name of this particular houseman.

This is unbecoming of a new Deputy Minister. If MIC clamours for a senior post in the Cabinet, then this indeed disqualifies their claim. I mentioned in my previous post The Rakyat's Daily Grind - A case with the Kuala Lumpur Hospital that his KPI has risen, but upon reflection, not only is it shot down but he should resign as well if he cannot even differentiate facts from his emotional outbursts. Oh yes, its one houseman and not two as he claimed!

This writer also owes the Director Dr Zaininah Mohd Zain an apology for strong words in the same previous posting. One thing this writer will not apologise is its really a daily grind for the rakyat to get proper treatment sometimes! If the private hospital could do it, why not the public hospitals then? Indeed, many government hospitals need to buck up! That's the silver lining that the rakyat could only hope for out of this incident!
