Chitchat Profitable Hospital Cancels Good Bumi's Cancer Treatment Because He No Money!

The National University Hospital (NUH) has reportedly cancelled an life saving medical procedure for a stage 4 cancer patient after he was unable to cough out the $600 deposit fee in cash.

Fortunately, a good samaritan stepped in at the last minute and paid for the procedure - a critical PET scan that would allow doctors to perform a critical bone marrow transplant, but the incident has left a bitter taste for many netizens who read about Ridwan's treatment at the hands of NUH bureaucrats.


53 year-old Ridwan Bin Aman's plight was publicized by local activist Gilbert Goh after he heard about his plight. According to Goh, the hospital had asked Ridwan to pay for the procedure by cash as he was not allowed to use his Medisave or Medifund.

“No Medisave or Medifund can be used and it has to be cold hard cash. In Singapore, sometimes its really stressful if you are poor and sick with a dreadful illness," Goh wrote. “Mind you NUH is supposed to be a government-aided hospital but it has turned profit-making after all the upgrading work.”

After the receipt of payment from Ridwan's sponsor, NUH has since rescheduled Ridwan's scan for 8.55AM.


Angry netizens have since approached NUH for more comments on this unhappy incident, with several of them voicing out concern that life saving operations are being denied to patients who cannot afford them.

In response to these netizens on Facebook, the hospital had said that it would reach out to Ridwan.

PAP run Spore is NOT a charity.

That is why the PAP MPs should not be allowed to decide their own salary or be allowed to check ownself.

Until the oppies show that they can run a decent town council, it is far safer to let PAP ownself check ownself.

This is a PAP led initiative to eradicate the poor in Singapore. Raise cost of living and let the games begin. Singapore is the most capitalistic society in the world where the weak are regularly ushered out. This is LKYs legacy.

It is not a question of charity...it is such a ambiguous word these days...almost, everything, anything, is called Charity!. We are tlaking about humanity, about what race you are, what social class & privileges.

Did they ask HSK for $600 deposit first to treat him, when he had a stroke?....he has so many doctors in house & a team of specialists that waited upon him all the way....the team that resurrected his life was even pictured & praised in the press.

Ridwan...has nothing...no money, no connection, no class or could we say , LOW CLASS & of a certain race...that is a reality in life...hospital's had become a money making venture....it has no humanity...their job now is to make money...not saves life...then again....if you are hsk....dying...you get "resurrected"...or some higher 'humans'....you get cancer...you get a 'remission'..

Pap likes to take 1st than give...it's been around since Singkieland founding. The objective is for pap to stretch out medisave or whatever...pap don't give things for free...but give good benefits for pap cronies. If this qn was asked to a Pappie the reply will be even ah khaw had to pay 8 bucks for by pass surgery..

Aiyah, he must wait for her to earn $4.5 million for President post first. Once she got all that money for shaking leg he can then ask her. Now her MP allowance of only $16K and speaker salary, how to give him money?
