Doc: VIP treatment was distracting

The New Paper


SINGAPORE - Dr Tan Lai Yong's story is perhaps the best known of the lot of local doctors healing the world.

In 1996, he uprooted his family - including his then 16-month-old daughter - to go and minister to the poorest in Yunnan, in south-west China.

There he gave basic medical training to farmers, operated on people and ran clinics for villagers.

He also treated the orphaned, disabled and leprous.

He came home four years ago, despite being hailed by the Chinese government for his work and receiving an award from former premier Wen Jiabao, as he felt the VIP treatment he was receiving was distracting him from his purpose.

He is now involved in programmes to help those who may have fallen through the cracks, including foreign workers, ex-offenders and the elderly.

At 53, the Singaporean doctor owns no home, no car, not even a TV set. Most of the time, he makes do with one pair of jeans and hand-me-down shirts.

Lunch is often a loaf of plain bread, wolfed down on the run.

In March, he was hailed in Parliament as a "wandering saint in Singapore", who "is rich in ideas, strong of heart and boundless in energy".

Member of Parliament Seah Kian Peng asked for $1 million for Dr Tan to carry out his "oddball" ideas to better society, vouching that he would spend the money well and carefully.

Dr Tan, when asked in an earlier interview what he would do with a million dollars, replied with a laugh: "I would pump it all into educating and empowering our youth in a heartbeat."

Educating and empowering youth in Singapore is a complete waste of money. Whatever they gain from the efforts will be wasted buying iPhones, going to KTV joints and fucking whores.

The youth should be left to fend for themselves so that the wheat will be separated from the chafe.

If the MP is that sincere, ask him to fork out his own sum of money to start with. All these MPs damn scheming and cunning. He wants to score points but ask Government or tax payers to pay for the idea.

As usual, this doctor is well traveled. He knows all this little tricks this little politician will want him to perform upon receiving the million dollar funding.

He worked half as much and earned five times more. Now you know why your medishield premium keeps heading skywards.

Seems he was more productive as a surgeon. Singapore will be many times better off if he does that. This attitude always turned me off. Like he was doing all of us a favour coming to serve in politics. There are a few more like him.

Nice to know there are generous hearts like that in public. Contrast this with a certain Dr. Susan Lim.

Cheers!

Tales like this bring a tear to my eye. PAP also has ministers but why are they not poor like him? Serves him right for praying to a false god.

Dr Tan Lai Yong is a great man and the embodiment of what a physician should be – altruistic, compassionate, caring.

Unlike the mercenaries wolves in sheep's clothing infesting the PAP who call themselves doctors.
