In January, the media reported that due to the overwhelming demand for hospital beds, CGH began housing patients waiting for beds in large air-conditioned tents.
The media then reported Dr Chia Shi-Lu, MP of Tanjong Pagar GRC, saying that the crunch might be “due to the holiday season rather than a spike in illnesses”.
The MP’s comment prompted prominent blogger, Andrew Loh, to quip in TOC [Link], “Dr Chia’s remarks are puzzling for the simple reason that the bed crunch is not a seasonal thing, happening only during the holiday season. In fact, in the past few years, news reports have highlighted the problem regularly.”
“None of these reports seem to have ascribed the shortages to the ‘holiday season’. In fact, shortage of beds http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/05/14/what-would-mp-chia-say-about-the-yr-long-wait-at-cgh/
