Your MP's Question of the Week #41

bloody-slimy Save IJN. Say No to Sime Darby.

On 17 December 2008, Sime Darby announced to Bursa Malaysia that the company had written to the government expressing an interest in acquiring IJN (Institut Jantung Negara / National Heart Institute which was set up in 1992.)

A public outcry ensued when the takover attempt was first highlighted here and aggressively pursued by the popular blog known as Rocky’s Bru here. This was followed by 35 consultants of IJN issuing a public statement 2 days later stating, among others, “the perception that the privatization proposal is in response to demands for higher remunerations by its medical staff is misconceived and must be corrected accordingly to safeguard and preserve the trust placed upon us by our patients.

Apparently, a week after the Cabinet had announced that it was deferring a decision on the takeover bid, today the Economic Planning Unit in the PM’s Department has called for a meeting between Sime Darby and IJN to be held on Monday, 5 January 2009, at 2.30 pm.

Speculation is rife that “the outgoing Abdullah Administration seems bent on forcing through a proposal by a desperate Sime Darby to take over IJN….”

Should Sime Darby be allowed to take over IJN which was originally set up to provide very affordable heart treatments to the rakyat suffering from the nation’s No.1 killer disease or should the institute be left completely alone and remain un-privatized?

Soalan Mingguan WR Anda ke-41

Pada tanggal 17 Disember 2008, Sime Darby telah membuat pengumumnan kepada Bursa Malaysia bahwa ia telah mengutus kepada pihak pentadbiran mengenai hasratnya membeli IJN (Institut Jantung Negara / National Heart Institute yang ditubuhkan dalam tahun 1992.)

Berikut pengumuman ini yang telah dilaporkan di laman sini, tercetusnya bantahan umum dan bantahan ini diperlantangkan lagi oleh blog ternama Rocky’s Bru. Dua hari kemudian, seramai 35 perunding perubatan IJN mengeluarkan kenyataan umum yang menyatakan bahawa “tafsiran bahawa cadangan penswastakan ini adalah disebakan oleh permintaan pertambahan gaji oleh kaki tangan perubatan tidak benar dan perlu diperbetulkan demi menjaga kepercyaan pesakit kita ke atas semua kaki tangan perubatan.”

Seminggu selepas pihak jemaah menteri mengumumkan keputusannya melenggahkan keputusan terhadap pengambil alihan ini, Unit Perancangan Ekonomi pada hari ini mengaturkan suatu mesyuarat antara Sime Darby dan IJN tpada hari Isnin, 5 Januari 2009, pada jam 2.30 pm.

Kononnya, ramai berpendapat bahawa “pentadbiran Badawi yang bakal meninggalkan jawatan beriya-iya hendak memaksa pengambil alihan IJN oleh Sime Darby ….”

Patutkah Sime Darby dibenarkan mengambil alih IJN yang ditubuhkan untuk membekalkahn rawatan penyakit jantung yang pada tahap perbelanjaan yang mampu ditanggung oleh kebanyakkan rakyat yang dilandai “pembunuh nombor 1 di negara kita” ataupun institut patut ditinggalkan dalam keadaan sekarang tanpa diswastakan?
