Another Scandal : RM0.4 BILLION For 500 Ambulances ie RM800k Per Ambulance !!

I heard about this a few days ago from an Indian friend of mine who mentioned "Subramaniam".  I dont know which Subramaniam he was talking about. 

This is taken from this Blog which belongs to Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff who says he is the Gerakan assemblyman. Gerakan of course is in the BN.

Hey! Health Ministry! RM800,000 for an ambulance? What’s it equipped with?

Health Ministry distributing 500 ambulances to hospitals, health clinics nationwide
 

cost of each ambulance is ridiculously high - RM800,000 each!

“ . costs humongous amount?” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Alsagoff asked.

government procurement always cheaper because “no tax.."

bumping up cost of each ambulance to RM800k is way too high! 

Those who got contract laughing all the way to the bank! he added.

Health Ministry must take immediate transparent action to investigate 

Malaysians have right to know how public money is being spent

no reason why ministry should hesitate to display transparency 

“If costs justified, Malaysians will accept it. ” he added.

ministry justify spending 

“before action taken by others ”.

My comments :  

RM400 million worth of ambulances. 

RM800,000 per ambulance. 

Tapi hospital gomen sekarang ubat sudah kurang Doktor.

Ambulans baru, pesakit boleh cepat sampai ke hospital.

Tapi ubat tak ada. Lagi cepat boleh m_ti kah?
