In the past, the importance of medical insurance was not common knowledge. Most people depend on medical coverage by employer. By the time his illness was diagnosed, he couldn't get any medical insurance even if he wished to as the premium will be too high with the pre-existing condition.So jialat the old man?His golden handshake not even worth his insurance coverage.my $200 insurance premium can easily take care of any medical emergency I have in the future,if this old man has been saving diligently and investing and paying his bills on time he would be on a beach enjoying his golden handshake now,not clinging on to his miserable job for the sake of healthcare.

Interestingly, he is rich. Rich enough to pay his medical bill on his own. However, this group of people place money above everything. As long as there is monetary advantage, they will not hesitate to pick that option. They will choose to continue working, putting in minimum effort, to reap the monetary advantage, over quitting and enjoying a true relaxing life. Maybe subconsciously they are stressed even though they actually do very little in work. Stressed by their constant effort to avoid responsibility and accountability.
Why shld Sinkies care if he dies? Tis CB branded Sinkies lesser mortals.
This higher mortal is so courageous he doesn't even have the courage to be honest with his electorate about his disease. He should replace Ng Eng Hen as the defence minister and lead the charge against China to retrieve the terrexes!
MP Charles Chong 'courageous' to stand in Punggol East despite liver condition: Ng Eng Hen
SINGAPORE: Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on Wednesday (Dec 21) lauded Member of Parliament (MP) Charles Chong for "courage to act on his convictions”, despite being diagnosed with a liver condition about three years ago.
Dr Ng revealed in a Facebook post that when Mr Chong was asked to stand for the People's Action Party in the opposition-held Punggol East Single Member Constituency in the 2015 General Election, “Charles’ response was almost instantaneous – ‘Yes, I‘m ready to fight’,” he said.
“Charles knew that any candidate there must expect a hectic campaign and a tough fight. The rest they say is history. Charles fought hard and won back the constituency,” he added. “How he could do this, with the shadow of a liver transplant over him, I cannot pretend to understand fully except that Charles has guts and the courage to act on his convictions.”
Dr Ng also revealed that Mr Chong was ready to stand in the opposition-held Aljunied Group Representation Constituency if asked.
Mr Chong underwent a liver transplant on Dec 1 and was discharged from hospital last week. His younger son donated part of his liver to him, he said in a statement on Tuesday. He added that the recovery process "has been good" and that he hopes to be given the all-clear by doctors after eight weeks of medical leave.
Said Dr Ng: “The prospect of a liver transplant would have caused any one of us to at least reduce our activities, review our life’s goals but certainly not take on major challenges. Not for Charles Chong.
"I have great respect for Charles Chong, and now you know why.”
Such talent deserves the generous health benefits provided to PAP MP. Hail Trump.
Maintaining Charles as MP is a waste of public funds.
He should resign if he really cared about the country
Having an invalid to be MP is certainly not the choice of the people
Winnie, think of our broader security issue. Trump is actually good for Singapore because he is bad for China. Our demise will be much faster if our security framework is wrecked by the commie crooks with their financial buyouts of our Asean neighbors. I can't wait for Peter Navarro to crash the commie chinks' crooked economy! Stop buying China products if possible.
in addition, this (cheap) charlie can look forward to his fat pension based on his term as mp throughout the yearsSuch talent deserves the generous health benefits provided to PAP MP. Hail Trump.

and before pinky collapses, trump should put his tagline to good use - you're fired!We can never give enough to the PAP talents! They will definitely be an asset to the Trump administration. Trump is already implementing lots of PAP-style of governance. Can't wait for LHL to sell Trump on sinkapore becoming a US protectorate. I hope he doesn't collapse while doing that coz Trump hates losers. Heil Trump.
