What did we really lose from the Covid 19 ventilator deal?

ACCORDING to the Auditor's 2021, READ : RM13 million losses as only 28 of 136 ventilators procured could be used, audit report shows.

RM13 million is but a number in a land that boasts some of the world's biggest corruption scandals seen by mankind   such as the 1MBD and PKFZ scandals. READ : Corruption in Malaysia is a RM10 billion a year industry

RM10 billion too is but a number, that no longer outrage us, nor does it stir our emotions. 

THEY are but numbers  we spit out among friends when we have nothing better to talk about.

THIS particular RM13 million that the Government lost, had resulted because  Pharmaniaga Logistics supplied 93 defective ventilators.

HOW many of the READ : the 36,942 Malaysians who died from Covid 19, could have been saved is not stated nor how many of us suffer from post Covid 19 stress because we had to wait in line for a working ventilators is also not stated in any of the reports, at least the ones i have seen.

THE Unity Government  members of Parliament must show a level intellectual maturity to press the Health Minister for such details.

IF they do that, and if indeed there were corruption  involved,it will be obvious to everyone the charge sheet should be for murder, even if the corrupt person was a minister.

WHY, did I stress that intellectual maturity is needed ,was because READ : The Unity Government MPs are linking the ventilator deals to the lockdowns.

THIS is the stupidest thing to do. Muhyiddin Yassin is a hero today because, he had the courage to  do what was needed at that time.

 HE became a figure of hate and scorn for a short time because of our own irritation of being jailed in our own house.

BUT many of those who served under him,  are no hero's, as they willing traded Malaysian lives for money.

ANWAR Ibrahim, should allow the Malaysian courts to decide if indeed some of the deaths were avoidable, and if so did those who took under counter money , were they trading Malaysian lives for money?
