WHILE Malaysians tend to take pride in our public healthcare system, I have a different opinion.
One of my parents was recently admitted to a large reference hospital in northern Malaysia. After observing the situation there, I quickly came to conclude that public hospitals are not meant for all Malaysians including taxpayers like me. They are meant mostly for those in the B40 group or government employees. The M40 and T20 are expected to receive their care in private hospitals instead.
