Bureaucratic requirements put people off


PAKATAN Harapan politicians have expressed surprise at their massive loss in the Tanjong Piai by-election. They need to realise that when people are struggling through difficult economic times, government officials enforcing bureaucratic regulations that increase unproductive paperwork add to daily stress and lose Pakatan public support.I have run a cardiology clinic for 25 years, and numerous Health Ministry inspections have found my psychotrophic medication records to be in order. However, at the November 2019 inspection, I was issued a warning letter for breaking the Poison Act 1952, Section 30(5), Item 19, because the name and clinic number were entered in the record book without the passport or identification card and address.

In recording the name and clinic number, I am immediately able to assess the details of any patient, since the name, clinic number, passport and IC together with the addresses are all written in three separate books in the clinic.
