Not flip flop, says Health Minister

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad has clarified that the decision to cancel the Waktu Bekerja Berlainan (WBB) system was not a “flip-flop” move.


FMT quoted Dzulkefly as saying "the WBB system was still in its pilot phase when the Cabinet decided to cancel it.

“To those who have asked why (cancelling) the WBB is not considered a ‘flip-flop’, it is because I had yet to make a final decision on its implementation.

“It was still at the pilot project stage, and during that period (when the details were leaked), it led to criticisms about why others were not included,” he was quoted as saying during his winding-up speech as Amanah vice-president at the party’s national convention today.

Dzulkefly said it was a “mistake” that the letter detailing the system’s guidelines was leaked, as it contributed to further problems.

“When the leak happened, doctors nationwide questioned why they were not involved. This sparked a problem, as they demanded to be involved,” he said.

“I raised this issue with the Cabinet. After I explained the situation, the Cabinet decided that I should cancel the WBB pilot project. I will continue with the study to get views from all parties.”

On Friday, Dzulkefly said the Cabinet had decided to cancel the WBB system after carefully considering various factors.

The health ministry also established a task force to look into improving the delivery of healthcare services to the public and scheduling working hours.

However, the proposed system drew brickbats from groups such as the Malaysian Medical Association, which said health workers would work fewer hours but stood to lose income as they would not be granted an allowance for working past 5pm on weekdays.

Mengapa tidak Sultan Pahang sendiri mengklarifikasi baginda ada bertitah addendum atau pun tidak

Image
Ramai sangat yang bercakap bagi pihak Sultan Pahang. Entah ya entah tidak. Biar Sultan Pahang sendiri yang bertitah memperjelas perkara sebenar. Mencampur aduk politik dan sistem perundangan sangat merbahaya dan boleh menghancurkan negara selain menghakis keyakinan rakyat terhadap pemerintah. Malangnya, inilah yang telah, sedang dan dijangka akan terus berlaku. Sudah menjadi rahsia terbuka, persepsi rakyat Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi diselamatkan oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dari kes prima facie melibatkan 47 pertuduhan melalui DNAA. Pada masa sama, Anwar kata dia tidak pernah campur perihal sistem kehakiman di negara ini. Rakyat berhak untuk mempercayainya atau sebaliknya. Adakah hanya musuh politik yang kena itu satu kebetulan? Apapun, janganlah kita hanya pandai menyalahkan Anwar sahaja kerana hampir semua perdana menteri terdahulu melakukan perkara yang serupa. Terbaharu, isu titah addendum yang menjurus bekas perdana menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak yang kini se...
