What Lies Ahead for Malaysian Healthcare? Lee Poh Onn ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute E-Mail: [email protected]
No. 2015-4 What Lies Ahead for Malaysian Healthcare? Lee Poh Onn ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute E-mail: [email protected] ISEAS Economics Working Paper December 2015 Abstract Healthcare in Malaysia has been characterised by a strong public sector presence where government hospitals and clinics acted as a primary source of care. The healthcare system has also been lauded as a model for other developing countries to follow as it has succeeded in improving the health status of Malaysians over time. With the rising costs of healthcare over the last three decades, the government is now facing increasing pressures to restructure its healthcare system. Social healthcare insurance, corporatisation, and privatisation have been increasingly seen as possible measures to supplement the current healthcare system dominated by the public sector. In Malaysia, the involvement of government-linked companies in the private healthcare sector has, however, raised conflict-of-interest issues. Political economy factors will continue to play out; the private sector will continue to play an increasingly important role in the provision of healthcare while a long-awaited social healthcare insurance plan takes shape. Ultimately, clear rules of governance, regulations, and transparency have to be put in place to ensure that standards are maintained, conflict-of-interest issues are checked, and that healthcare continues to remain accessible.

MCA - Three Strikes and You're Out! Malaysiakini.Com April 8, 2013 by K Temoc
MCA - three strikes and you're out! MalaysiaKini.com April 8, 2013 By K Temoc After the 1969 general election the late Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman, then deputy prime minister, was known to have said, “MCA dan MIC nampaknya tidak mahu hidup dan tidak mahu pula mati”, using a Malay idiom ‘hidup segan, mati tak mahu’ (figuratively ‘neither alive nor dead’) to sneeringly describe a virtually political-defunct Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA). MCA had then been dealt its first strike in the game of politics. Undoubtedly May 1969 was a bad time for the MCA, losing in disastrous measures to a loose coalition of the (original) Gerakan Party, a then very new Democratic Action Party (DAP), the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) (then under the Seenivasagam brothers), and even Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS). But embarrassing as it was for MCA, it wasn't its worst moment yet, because successes and failures are part and parcel of politics, and while depressing, we expected the MCA to pick itself up again. And it did. In 1985, during the acrimonious dispute for the party’s presidential post between Tan Koon Swan and Neo Yee Pan, MCA disgraced itself in no uncertain terms by having the then deputy prime minister, the late Ghafar Baba and a Malay, occupied the MCA’s top position to moderate a settlement between the two Chinese contenders. That incident would not have been disgracefully controversial if the MCA had been a multiracial political party. That it was, and still is, a Chinese race-based party, in having a Malay as its head, no matter how temporary it had been, was certainly a dubious Malaysian first, an utterly shameful indictment on MCA’s inability to represent itself, let alone the Chinese community. -

Avoid Complacency, Barisan Parties Told (NST 19/10/1998)
19/10/1998 Avoid complacency, Barisan parties told JOHOR BARU, Sun. - Barisan Nasional component parties have been urged to have their election machinery ready as the Opposition parties are out to deny the coalition a two-thirds majority in the next general election. BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Rahmat also called on component parties not to be complacent, in view of the losses suffered by the coalition in recent by-elections. "We lost in the Teluk Intan and Arau by-elections. With the existing economic and political problems, the Opposition, especially the DAP, think they can win more seats. "Even Pas, which won the Arau by-election, thinks that the existing political climate favours them. They are all out to win more seats as they regard their achievement in the Arau by-election a good indicator. "Despite these setbacks, BN remains strong and stable," he told reporters after attending Deepavali celebrations at `Little India' in Jalan Ungku Puan last night. Mohamed, who is Information Minister, said the BN was confident of retaining the two-thirds majority as the people were satisfied with its efforts to steer the country out of the economic problems. In Kuala Lumpur, Gerakan today said the party concurred with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad that the BN would still be able to form the Government in the next general election, although with a smaller majority. Gerakan president Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said the economic situation and the sacking of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim might have some effect on the election results. -

In a speech to commemorate the event, Timor Leste's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Dr Jose Ramos Horta, acknowledged the importance of bilateral ties between the two countries and commended Dr Mahathir for being the first head of Goverment to visit this country since its independence in May 2002.

After the ceremony, Dr Mahathir proceeded to the Parliament Building, a short distance away, to address a gathering of Parliamentarians and Council of Ministers of Timor Leste. -
