Mask and Deceit

I thought I could shrug and laugh this off, but 3 days in a row?? That's a calling for me!

Lately, in the Malaysian news: Free Admission at Govt Hospitals

Also, that they are going to promote healthcare workers at a faster rate - Faster promotions

Then, there's also the medical perks for civil servants' parents


Oh wow, the government is making a lot of people happy! (laughs sarcastically) - Its such a joke, really.

Okay let's just laugh at this first - the amount of pay/grading that you are going to receive depends on the number of years that you're working.
- NOT the amount of work you do
- NOT the amount of responsibilities you have
- NOT the qualification you get/obtain/work for/study/pursue/achieve along the way

Okay, so, you're not in healthcare, you're not bothered about how much money these people are getting. You want to be selfish (not difficult in a situation over there) and think about you self-interests. You want to get the 'free' healthcare that you cannot afford. Even if you can afford, you'd want to let it be and have the power of choice. Why bother, after all, free-what.

Does anyone remember how the yin and yang works? and what karma means?
I'm diverting. Let's get to the point:

Yet, in all of these reports, NO ONE mentioned about HOW WHAT WHEN and WHERE all the shenanigans are going to be funded. Do they not know that healthcare is one of the most expensive expenditures around? Heavily funded, heavily sourced and even more heavily spent! It is probably the biggest employer of the local community (in a doing-ok-country-with-ok-healthcare system) too. So, may I know from those who announced to also announce a PLAN please? Rather than just another form of shouting and blowing oneself's trumpet.

That said, let's cover my bases here - just one really, but hey, that's why its a blog and not an article!

The media - did they miss out reporting on the grand scheme of things? There should be more reaction from them - if it wasn't mentioned, ASK! COMMENT! PURSUE! To a certain extent, some reporters take their job title to the core. Just 'reporting'. No offence, there are amazing ones out there.

So, really, where is the money going to come from?
Was the budget reasonable?

I don't know much about economics nor politics, but that shall not stop me from asking questions. Neither should it be an excuse for those who don't like the statements I have made to tell me to keep them to myself because I do not know.
You're already doing a not-so-good job (a huge understatement), don't shoot yourself down there. You should take heed yourself - If a person doesn't know, perhaps he/she should not go around making claims of knowing.
Instead, if a person doesn't know, he/she should ASK and CLARIFY.

And I won't be surprised if subsequent laughters follow in time.
