I do not beleieve that the takeover has been aborted; it is
temporarily held as the timing is not suitable for them.
It is a matter of time that the deal with definitely go through.

As you know, today the most LUCRATUVE ‘Business’ is health
business. If the members of Parliament have the guts
they must introduce that the all the PRIVATE Health CARE
CENTRES should be nationalised and be available to the
ordinary citizens. I am sure you are aware that the the charge
in the Health CARE centres is expensive ORDINARY CITIZENS
RAKYAT BIASA cannot enter the hospitals. Minimum one needs
$800-1,000. Being a heart-patient, I have been paying this
sum for the past 20 years. Luckily my children are able to
pay. The rumour is that the dictator doctor is behind the
move.

Regards

Hamid Ibrahim

Dear Anil

Yes. Stopped by People Power.

But there’s definitely more than meets the eye here:

From the last recession of the late 1990s, we learned that business is bad for private medical centres during such times i.e. there is a shift in demand to cheaper public hospitals. So, why would
Sime Darby want to expand capacity as a much worse
recession/tsunami is starting to hit our shores?

I agree with also anak malaysia and Sang Seong. We have to be grateful for the former KT MP for this. Just you wait until 18 January when crony business will be back as the order of the day.
We should not forget that in Malaysia, the whole democratic process is a mere sideshow to the real power appointment process which is still on-going: the UMNO elections.

This matters way more than all the irrelevant crap dished out by Dalbinder Singh Gill.

IJN is safe
The predator walks away
It doesn’t want to take up the stake
Too much resistance
It makes pr work a nightmare

No doubt it says
In the end profit motives will drive it in
The people, rich and poor, will have to pay
If it runs like a company

Now the chapter has closed
Let’s hope there is no other to stalk it
IJN let it runs for the people
Let it be always

In the first place BN government shouldn’t allow
Even the slightest hint to entertain the request
Yet the government did then aborted it
When they find they have a buy election in KT
Finally the BN government turned around
Delayed the project of selling

Now IJN is safe
The company doesn’t want to marry
Too much dowry by the people
It is better to go elsewhere

The privatisation stopped is due to rakyat’s power.

Also, because of the current KT elections , UMNO does not want this to be made an issue as depriving the poor of medical facilities.

The people in Israel are suffering there and yes this was pointed out by DSAI . This is what the BN govt is akin to doing to the folks in Terengganu .

Privatisation will benefit Sime Darby and a few cronies.

Coret!Coret!Coret! The BN gomen REFUSES to acknowledge the peoples’ power. Another thrashing in next GE will not make them willing to learn and the best send them into oblivion.

No worries, they got another game:

The new KLIA-East may sound like a private venture between SD & Air Asia. Well, the corporate guys will put it through “PFI” flavor. This term is overly used to disguise using public money being channeled into private companies supposedly invested for long term public / govt facilities.

One look..and it seems good for the NS state govt and SD, as it should be paid by Air Asia.

Let us look into Air Asia (AA) main shareholders: Tony + Tony&gang company + K (hey! he is in here too…!) + EPF!!

I dont think the IJN thing is settled.
Anil, do wait and see once najib is the PM.
The sime darby worm ( or something as sinister to sime darby) will crawls out again.
Now, take a look at the new LCCT ,do we really need another new LCCT?
Remember, that the new LCCT is NOT in the plan.
We must ensure that the rakyat’s money is not pour into it.
Who ever wants to built it will have to use their own funds.

Well put, Anil. I just read Zaid’s speech in Singapore. There’s one man we should thank for getting the ball rolling. For me, Badawi’s legacy is already set in place.

For all his perceived commissions and omissions (some might prefer the latter), Abdullah was never short on one thing: a heart.
