Three weeks ago, a 48-year-old lorry driver with stage 4 cancer of the colon came to see me as he was in financial distress. He had been the sole breadwinner, and family finances were deeply in the red ever since his diagnosis about two months ago.
The reply from MySalam whatsapped to him after a week was: “Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa tuntutan penyakit kritikal anda telah ditolak disebabkan: Kemasukan hospital bukan kerajaan. Salah satu syarat tuntutan adalah penyakit mestilah didiagnos di hospital kerajaan.”. Tun, we paid Great Eastern RM400 million to cover the B40 population for a year. Looks like Great Eastern will pay out less than RM3 million for this year! Clearly, the rakyat are not getting our money’s worth.
However Lim, in his wisdom, didn’t engage us – didn’t even get one of his staff to meet up with us to get our views. That was when we sent a memorandum endorsed by 40 organisations to you , reiterating the same points.
