Now the truth is out. Malaysia newd media reported that Khaw Boon Wan had made a secret trip up to JB's Iskandar Development Zone to see the nursing home built by a Singaporean during the CNY period. And the nursing home is not even built yet and Khaw is already drumming business for it. Therefore it is not a mere suggestion as Khaw is now trying to put it, but is a serious consideration by the PAP governement to dump our elderly there until the current uproar forces him to a retreat. Even the Malaysia newspaper thinks that Khaw's reply to LTK & SL queries is "funny". I don't think this is the end to this matter, I am pretty sure that Khaw and his colleagues will try other tricks later.

Retiring In Johor Bahru
During the recent CNY festive season, Singapore's health minister Khaw Boon Wan made a quiet and unannounced "visit" to a medical institution in Johor Bahru's Iskandar Development Zone, where he met a Singaporean who will soon build a 200-bed nursing home there.
A few days later, he talked about what he experienced in his trip in Singapore's parliament, and suggested that Singaporeans should consider sending their aged parents to nursing homes in JB, because "one month of expenses at a nursing home in Singapore is equivalent to about two and a half months at similar institutions across the Causeway. Moreover, JB is not too far away, and relative can visit the old people during weekends."
