Sime to buy into IJN

Oh no, not again.

"The Government had no objection to Sime Darby's request to acquire a stake the National Heart Institute (IJN)". So said Najib.

However, he said the company has to keep in mind that social responsibility must take precedence over financial gains.

Separately, Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai also said that the Government would continue to regulate fees at IJN even if the institute were to be privatised, to ensure patients are not overcharged.

abROcadabRO says:
This is madness, real madness and is getting out of hand. Already many essential services have been privatised. Each time an essential service is privatised (on the pretext of reducing the government's OPEX), a handful of "penyangak" becomes rich, extremely rich. But the poor rakyat suffers more.

Anwar, Kit Siang and Karpal should stop this like mad, if they truly have the rakyat's plight at heart, as claimed.
