Khaw Boon Wan visited Madam Poh to apologize in person
December 9, 2009 • Leave a Comment (Edit)

Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan made a personal trip to Kandang Kerbau Hospital to apologize to one of the victims of the medication blunder Madam Poh in person three days ago.

Madam Poh was given an overdose of chemotherapy drug over hours instead of days by two pharmacists who used the wrong infusion pump. She is currently recuperating in KKH.

Mr Khaw wrote on his blog that he was stopped before he could finish his sentence.

He heaped praises on Madam Poh and her family for their magnanimity:

“I apologised to her but she stopped me before I could complete my sentence. This is truly a wonderful family, brought up with sound decent human values. We had a good chat, about many things, including LASALLE’s art therapy as her son is keen on guitar music.”

When interviewed by Chinese paper Lianhe Wanbao, Madam Poh said she was very touched by Mr Khaw who spent 20 minutes speaking to her and her family.

Her husband, Mr Yap said that they had already forgiven to two blundering pharmacists and hoped that they would not be sacked by the hospital.

A devout Buddhist, Mr Khaw who just celebrated his 57th birthday also shared some of his life philosophy with his readers:

“At 57, I have learnt not to get too excited with good news, nor too depressed with bad news. Every dark cloud will eventually pass; just as sunshine does not last forever.

The key is to stick to basic values in life: do as many good deeds as possible, even if minor; do no bad deeds, even if they seem slight.”

One of Mr Khaw’s birthday wishes is to see his daughter recover fully from an injury sustained during a road traffic accident last week.

She was apparently knocked down by a taxi and had been discharged from the hospital.

Mr Khaw declined to divulge more details when asked by reporters.

Up you go.

 

[hairylee]

Go there TCSS only as usual no monetary compensation for the victim.

 

[streetsmart73]

hi there

1. come on!, croc tears.
2. no big deal.
3. any idiot can easily vomit out an "apology", simply no effort making things right.
4. why a mil-dollar salaried to apologise.

 

[Frankiestine]

Ah the cow come out finally to apologize just in time for the erection...

 

[soIsee]

Dear Mr Cow or rather Khaw

You shouldn't be the one apologizing for the KK mistake.

It should be the cowardly, grossly unaccountable CEO of KK who should do it.

By doing such a thing, you would have given the direct impression that you run the operation, hiring and ultimately issues like whether the toilet cleaners did wash the toilet properly.

How absurd.

Nor only have you directly told the entire population of your own incompetence by approving the appointment high ranking ppl in the medical sphere of yours, you are yet again provided the classis ' my subordiate WONG CAN"T SING cocked up but yet I cover his asshole' tactic for the entire population to see.

by doing so. it weakens your organisational structure and cos many to doubt whether the ppl you hire under you, should be accorded respect.

In simple words...you are digging your own grave.

 

[Papsmearer]

Hahaha, the taxi driver that langar his daughter is now undergoing air con torture in police station. I sure Khaw would find it in his heart to forgive him to....................NOT!!

GE coming and his KPI is low so he need to do something extra.....

 

[Shin Orochi]

Up you go.

 

[makapaaa]

Why isn't KKH CEO doing the job? Is she some sort of white mare or what?

 

[R4g3]

ask the minister's wife go apologise la, why someone else go wayang? or because she is not a candidate for General Erection so no need wayang?

really the period of miracles, always see them before General Erection.

 

[Brightkid]

If the above news article is printed during the cooling-off day, does anyone think it will have a positive impact to Khaw if his ward is being contested ? IMO, it does not infringe the political 'black-out' condition.

Is it? Where was it reported?

 

[postnew]

Heng ah ..she did'nt die, or not Ivy will be very chia lat

 

[mscitw]

Blackheart Khaw loves the vile means testing to fleece stupid peasants, retribution is slow but surely.

 

[nickers9]

At least Khaw Boon Wan is much more better than the bloody Wang Kan Seng.

That mother fucker let Mas Selamat ran away under his nose, not only he never apologized, that asshole went and find some scapegoat to take his rap.

 

[normalsingaporean]

Linking to another of my reply in another threat.....This is exactly what a politician must do.

 

[woofy]

'croc tears' is not appropriate in this case, at least he behave like a gentlemen to take up responsiblity and acknowledge his blunder. Many other Pappies will look for excuses and explanation to cover their sins. Among all the PAP hypocrites, he still one who preserve some humanities

 

[halsey02]

Is it? Where was it reported?

The person is just illustrating a point, but left out the, "if". If you knock down any of the MIW's children, even a slight bump, I am sure you will be hung by your balls in some lockup.

You apologize......you better volunteer to stay at Buangkok Health Centre to "COOL OFF" for a month...

In MY Kingdom; only me have all the rights to drive and knock someone down without any penalty; and not the other way round.

Understand you Sinkies ah???
