read this from alex's blog, today's Star & malaysian medical resources.
again this shows life's irony.
people who kill mongolians & kidnap children (& soon, also lawyers & judges who holiday together) are running around free while doctors in private practice, some of whom are barely making a decent living - i know because some are my friends - are being penalised heavily on minor offences. is there any one in private practice who doesn't feel strongly that the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998 is way too draconian (for lack of a better word)?
yes, there are black sheep among us - i know because some are my friends, too!! - & by all means, the ministry of health should go after them. for others who commit minor offences, they should be punished accordingly, but a RM120k fine & in lieu a 3-mth jail term? was anyone maimed, kidnapped or killed?
hopefully, the new minister of health will restore some common sense in the enforcement of the Act, or even revise it, if need be.
or have we gone too far down the slippery slope?

There are worse criminals out there who should be jailed, true
just me,
actually, if all the criminals, whatever the crime committed, are jailed, there would be gross overcrowding!!
