Malaysia and Hong Kong have excellent public health services, where any citizen can get the best medical care at a fraction of the true cost. But these costs are getting fiscally non- viable in the long- term.

Many of them said they were not aware of how efficient the doctors were, and how vastly the fees were subsidised, until they took a family member there for treatment.
