Just too much wastage
Reported in The Star,
I just do not believe that the Government is willing to spend so foolishly in promoting tourism in China. Despite tourism being an important source of revenue for our country, I fail to see the logic of allocating so much money in such an exercise. One million to the winner. My goodness! Have they gone insane?
How can this happen when there is a lack of allocations given to social welfare officers to fund operations for our citizens? Being in Cardiology now, it has been a daily struggle for our cardiologists to find sufficient funds to enable poor individuals to undergo much needed interventional procedures. Funds are always in short supply and many patients have to live with a less optimal option as a result. I am sure, such cases are not isolated.
Now the Government is willing to give one million US dollars mind you, to a foreigner just so that they can attract more tourists! Tell me another country stupid enough to do that! This is not the way to promote a country. I am absolutely flabbergasted!
This calls for the resignation of our Tourism MInister. The paucity of sound ideas under his leadership is evident. I certainly hope our PM will take concrete actions and avoid such stupidity from ravaging our politicians.
