If you study carefully the motive of ‘priratization’ it is aimed at ENSLAVING all Malaysians. It equals ‘colonization’ which the mighty super-ego used to condemn whenever it suits him to arouse his Bangsa! With piratization the cost of such services will continue to grow at the rate already fixed. This means inflation is guaranteed to increase every year!
Our neigbour just reduced the electrical power rate by 25%, and our TNB has decided to ride on the ealier increase! Eventually all these services will be piratized and all Malaysians will be ever indebted to the Gomen who will tell the nation , things are cheap! Cheaper than Japan! Cow head, what is Japan’s per capital?
So long that there is an opportunity to get quick cash, all services willl be piratized! You just wait!!!

They have privatized electricity supply, water supply, telephone service, TV stations, highways, sewage treatment and so many other services which are essential to the people and now they are thinking of privatizing even the National Heart Centre. What will they think of next? Will they want to privatize Parliament as well? Parliament Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.? Or the Prime Minister’s Department as “Jabatan Perdana Menteri Sdn. Bhd.? Or perhaps even the royal throne of Malaysia as “DYMM Sdn. Bhd.”?

Only in Malaysia that sustainable reputable and profitable government ventures are sold off to private organizations.

Unlike the more logical practice of getting external assistance or releasing of non-performing or toxic ventures and assets, this is like slaughtering or selling off a goose that lay golden eggs.

The only logical reason I can think behind such a decision is kickbacks and commissions for the relevant parties.

Makes me sick and disgusted when the lives of common folk are sold for dirty profits like this.

On the whole privatisation has not brought about good returns to the rakyat. It has only benefited the companies that took over those public utilities.

Under the “piratization” process initiated by the great Mamakthir to help his cronies, public utilities such as Telekoms, Tenaga, Postal services, KTM, etc have been hiking up their rates as and when they feel their profits were not up to the mark. Post Malaysia has become a sundry shop and a commission agent. If there is one privatised body that is grossly incompetent and inefficient, it must be Post Malaysia.

Why should IJN be privatised in the first place? Whenever a public service provider is doing well, the greedy corporate companies are like vultures to prey on them with the assistance of the ministries concerned and the ever greedy politicians out to make a quick killing.

Sime Darby which is giant corporate entity has the financial standing to set up another specialized hospital like IJN. Why isn’t it doing just that instead of taking over IJN which is doing a fantastic service to the public?

The government should carefully weigh all the pros and cons before handing over IJN to Sime Darby or any other interested party.

Enough said. Although I can understand why some are protesting about the privatisation ( read “piratisation “), so be it. IJN did not meet her objectives anyway. Please read my long reply in http://www.hmatter.blogspot.com. Let Sime Darby take over. Just hope that they pay market value for it.

The simple fact is that the BN government has been privatising all the money earning (profitable) institutions and retain those that are not.
To paraphrase – Why should institutions that are WELL RUN & PROFITABLE be privatised?
Shouldn’t the fruits from organisations that are nutured with public funds go to the public?
Why let Sime Darby just walk in and pluck the fruit?
To top that, if the privatised entities fail, the government steps and bail them out!!
Can anyone make sense all this?
Remember, it’s your money that the government is squandering!

More money should be allocated to this institution and not spending on military equipment such as Eurocopter that do not serve the rakyats.
Health Care as compared to military ware, which one you chose YB?.IF HEALTH CARE WHY THE RECENT BUDGET ALLOCATED TO DEFENSE ie the third higest in the recent debated bill?
Someone making money again !!!!!!!!!guess who???

Poor…Joe Public…IJN is milking tax payer’s money when treatment actually costs less then half in reality……….Joe public sees it as free…..but tax payers are paying for their treatment, to UEM, Daim, etc through the various mark ups in medicine , consumables, building costs, equipment..etc…….Malaysia truly boleh……this “national institution” should not have been corporatised in the first place……it is just another GLC like MAS, Proton, Tenaga, etc…where it has become a conduit to ransack this country………….

iskandarjohan…Govt paid for the treatment… from what money?
Don’t twist words! It’s not free if money change hands for something!
And th money is OURS! Why should our money be paid to only govt. servants? Why not …to all Malaysians?
How to improve economy your say?
Great question from one…who knows the country is being rojak by. UMNO for more than 28 years….and he expects me to answer that question?
Go to Malaysiakini and read more bad news.
But as a businessman…..I will find the root cause and sack everyone…put some crooks into jail…and start all over again.
My strength is plenty money available….plus stand by ..lots of able assistants…and with that…..change for the better is fact not hard…yet swift….plenty good results.
I am not a DAP member…get it very clear..but no one will I admire and respect more than DAP….period.
To sum up what you are saying…there are plenty more…what UMNO had done…and gave no replies to many many questions asked.
Bottom line….when they are corrupted to the core…managing the country with race and religion dirty politics…..it’s a sick sick country…that suits UMNO… It’s their …divide to rule…even creating third class Malays..that we must vote them out…..in next election. It’s as simple as that.
And DAP cannot make the country healthy and well…if Iskandarjohan and thousands like him..do not support DAP.
Talk is cheap…..show you are supporting Malaysian Malaysia.
Just want to conclude…that all religions are good.
It’s people….applying mind control…. and not free the mind…that is evil.

Great to have a man like Balwant Singh..explaining in such simple clear English language for all young Malaysians to read and learn.
The part I like most..is how misleading to think…government patients are getting free treatments..
It’s paid in full by the government…..yet UMNO never reveal all these facts.
