Samy Vellu Slams Health Ministry In Typical Fashion.
"It's better for me not to say anything. Let them talk. We were wrong.
"The Works Ministry was wrong, the contractor was wrong, the sub-contractors were wrong, those who gave the land were also wrong. Only the Health Ministry was right. Thank you," said Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu here, Tuesday.
He was responding to the statement by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek who denied that the delay in completing the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star was caused by his ministry's decision to change the scope of work repeatedly.
Samy Vellu said this after the launching of the Eubiq and Grounding Sentry System (GSS), a Revolutionary Power Outlet System, here.
Dr Chua also said he could not understand why certain government agencies were so keen to champion contractors that they stressed in newspapers the project was delayed not because of the contractors, but because the Health Ministry often changed the scope of work.
Asked on the statement by Deputy Health Minister, Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad who admitted that the ministry had made several alterations on the hospital, Samy Vellu said, "they can say what they like".
***** You can bet that this is just the beginning and Sam can be expected to shoot barbs at the Health Ministry hotshots again in the near future. This time he was merely being sarcastic; the vitriol is yet to follow. The full report from Bernama HERE
