Singapore public hospitals' repeated reminders to people not to dash to their accident and emergency (A&E) departments for every little ailment are largely falling on deaf ears.
Latest figures from Singapore General Hospital (SGH), National University Hospital (NUH) and Changi General Hospital (CGH) show that non-emergency patients make up more than half of their A&E cases.
But the worst is at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) in Yishun.
Last year, of the 400 A&E patients it saw daily, about 70 per cent were non-emergency or what the hospitals call P3 (Priority 3) cases.

Inconsiderate Stinkaporeans pretending to get sick.
So as not to work and not make more $$$$ for smear of shit LKY sovereign funds.

Wanting $$$$ to build more hospitals and therefore depriving poor LKY of the billions that he want to play play with.
