NUH offer free health screening to All Pinoys as part of its celebration for Pinoy's Independence Day


http://temasektimes.wordpress.com/

A massive outcry has erupted in cyberspace at NUH’s offer of free health screening and dental checkup for pinoys this coming Sunday at Suntec City as part of its celebration for the Filipino Independence Day.

According to an announcement made by the Pinoy Independence Day Council (PIDC) Singapore on its Facebook, NUH will be providing doctors to provide FREE basic medical consultation and dental services for the pinoy community in Singapore.

The ‘kind’ gesture by NUH did not go down too well with some Singaporeans who wondered why no similar health screenings were organized for Singaporeans on National Day in the past.

Kevin Goh asked on Facebook if public resources are being used for the event:

“To MOH : If NUH is a fully private hospital, “I don’t care” If not, Pls account for the cost of this generous gesture…”

Chris Tan was not impressed:

“What the hell is this? Creating a event in public for their own independence day, and now NUH is giving them free check up. Did i see all these on singapore national day? This is singapore!!! Not yr pinoyland.”

Liu Zhanhong asked why NUH is not helping needy Singaporeans instead:

“Even if its a community service initiative, does it makes sense to do community service for foreigners in your own land instead of serving your less-privileged countrymen? I’m confused. Please enlighten me on the rationale behind this initiative.”

Meanwhile, Singaporeans are ‘advised’ to stay clear of Suntec City this coming Sunday as it is likely to be converted into a ‘mini-Manila’ with large number of pinoys expected to congregate there to celebrate their ‘Independence Day’:

NUH should also hold this kind of free health screening for the India Ah Nehs during their nations's Independence day on August..

As much as I detest the swarms of Pinoys on this island and NUH being one of the two shit hospitals (the other is CGH), the checkup was probably paid for by the Filipino embassy or some other organization. No Singapore tax dollars are involved. There is no free lunch, and there is certainly no free health checkup. Someone is paying.

This is downright discriminatory.

Only Pinoys got health problems is it?

 

[scroobal]

Utterly disgraceful. 5 decades of preaching against welfarism, the need to pay for everything and they do this not for their own countrymen and women, it is a to select community.

This requires an inquiry and an explanation from NUS. I wonder what they were thinking when they made this decision. Obviously they did not have any idea of the political landscape that is brewing. Trust these chaps to sell condoms to the Vatican.

I am so fucking mad. So exasperated that I had to post this to release the pressure valve. 20 years ago, we sent a Dentist and a dental nurse to some remote village in the Philippines at the request of a Mariam Santiago or soeming who was an influential senator. The Dentist thought he was saving the world not realising that besides feeding his dopamine crave, it was a suck job for a base.

Now they are doing it here for fuck?

 

[The Penetrator]

All Pinoys got bad breath ? Suck too many ang mo cocks in bars ?

 

[kingrant]

Even if nothing is paid by NUH or Singapore, surely there is an opportunity cost involved here. The dentists are being called away one day/half day to attend to foreigners when they are paid by NUH to take care of own patients first. Their absence cost something for the patients.

Even if the Pinoy govt has paid for rental of the venue, the per diem of the dentists and staff and eqpt (I hope?), who pays for patient's losses in not being able to see their dentists on/for the day?
