The rakyat is suffering

I was unable to update my blog for a while as I was busy with some urgent matters back home. My mum was taken ill last week and we need to rush her to a public hospital even though it was not our preferred choice but two private hospitals could not accept her as one did not have a specialist and the other does not have a bed! Yes it is true and I am not kidding.

My family decided to take our mum to a government hospital and I was surprised by the attention given by the hospital staffs. The doctors and most of the staff were very professional except for two nurses who should not be there in the first place. They should be either transferred out to another ministry or be sacked. They just did not belong in the health ministry or the hospital. I guess there is still some baggage from the past! What ticked me was the waiting period in the hospital. I checked in the emergency ward at 11.30am and had to wait till 5.45pm for my mum to be admitted in the ward as I was told repeatedly that they could not do anything thing as there was not even a single bed available to accommodate my mum. Guess where my mum spent her waiting hours, by the corridor between the emergency room and walkway!

She was at the corridor until 5.45 pm before she was moved to the ward and by the way she was not alone, there were also other patients as well and all of them were from the emergency ward! I wonder how abou those who registered at the usual counter?My mum spent some 6 hours at the corridor while waiting for her bed to be available. This is how the government hospitals are managed, over crowded hospitals with insufficient beds and equipments for patients, stressed out doctors working long hours. Our government would rather recognise some universities from Indonesia but not reputable foreign universities from other countries.

The joke is that our PM is seriously talking about the changes in premiership and endorsing someone to be his successor and futher claiming that he has some unfinished business like his predecessor. Hello, knock..knock the rakyat is suffering and you jokers are running this country like your own backyard.

Why is there a need to buy two submarines and fighter jets and Eurocopters ? What bloody threat is the country facing now? What’s the urgent need for us to purchase them now?

Pak Lah look at the state of government hospitals, fungus problem, aircond system not functioning, unusuable operation roomand lack of doctors. What the @#*& were you doing for the last 5 years? The public road system is bad, public transportation is shitty; cost of living is high even with the fuel price has come down, worst still you’re saying the government can’t lower the consumer product price hike alone. Don’t you always claim that you have the mandate to run the country and why are you pushing the buck elsewhere. Either you perform or step down now and make way for a new government! Let the RAKYAT decide their future.
