what Malaysian public figures say and don’t say in the press

Chan Kong Choy does not have the details of eKesihatan

Posted by omong on September 16, 2007

The new eKesihatan scheme was introduced to plug loopholes in the current system, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said. 

He said the system, which would be phased out by the end of this month, had many leakages including chits being falsified. 

“A lot of commercial vehicle drivers, including express bus drivers, are unfit to drive and even drug addicts are able to drive due to weaknesses in the current system,” he said. 

On the negative reaction from various parties on the scheme, Chan said the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has been asked to hold dialogues and meetings with those involved. 

Asked why JPJ wanted the doctors involved in the scheme to register with a private company, Chan said: “I don’t think they are registering the doctors.” 

He said what was required was for clinics to become part of the panel. 

On the third party company being given the right to operate the new system, Chan said: “I don’t have the details.”
