Many of my comments were published like days after the threads landed on the back pages. And yes, I am not kidding. Still remember a thread where I say LGE cow peh cow boh (cry father cry mother) and it lingered like 3 days before being published. By the time it was published, the thread ( http://anilnetto.com/democracy/excessive-federal-powers-alarm-ngos/ ) had already ended up like 3 back pages in the archive. The comment following mine, the one from Kittykat46, appeared 3 full days before mine finally was published, even when I posted my comment 8 full hours before Kittykat46 posted his/hers. Now that thread is on page #4. You are not alone, stop complaining, ok? So you think Anil publishes my comments very early ah?

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone (we, the Malaysian tax payers) has to pay for the difference between the cost to the Ministry of Health charged by Pharmaniaga and the heavily subsidised cost payable by the patient at the General Hospita. I'm sure that many progressive Malaysian tax payers do not mind subsidising the medical costs of the poor, but we certainly object to corporations heavily overcharging the govt for goods and services supplied. There's also the "opportunity cost" involved since the govt money could have been used in other ways to promote the welfare of all Malaysians. When Gerakan K makes a statement like this, he/she is in effect saying that we need not worry about corporations ripping off the govt (and the tax payer) for goods and services supplied. RM100 for a hammer supplied to the govt, anyone? Dear All

Good. Honestly, his comments are from the other school of thought and sometimes he intentionally comment in such a way to provoke response! Yes, he is so humorous and sometimes when bored, I do read through his comments and laugh at his creativity! Cheers bro! Devan,

Show me the incidence if you can find it otherwise. p/s: because I'm pro-BN (by this blog cheerleaders standard), then this blog owner deliberately publishes my comment very late. Independent news "konon". Ceh ! At least no one die because of using medicine from hospital due to the defection in the medicine itself. Show me the incidence if you can find it otherwise.

Unfortunately, there were no blogs/websites back then to bring the issue to a wider audience.

You know, product registration is now done online, as far as you operate and account with MOH, you can even register your products from Zimbabwe! Laws to protect consumers are good, but, is there enforcement? Now registrations are simplified to such an extent that you get your NOT numbers out in a matter of days! Previously it was MAL! While speedier deliveries are good for business, the sad fact is, are there random checks conducted by MOH? Just look at the number of products that contain banned substances in the market. You know enforcements once in a while and then thats it, and the products are conveniently available in the markets again! Stiffer penalties must be introduced to prevent unscrupulous importers from distributing their products here, lately, Malaysia has become a dumping ground for all sorts of products especially from Philippines, Indonesia and China!
