"The reason why the transplant could not be approved was because organ trading exploited the poor, and that there should be no place for it in Singapore. Organ donations should be acts of compassion, not commerce." – Khaw Boon Wan, Health Minister 2002, after the death of Ms. Selvarani Raja (suffered liver failure after taking slim 10)

Well said, I am so proud of you! but in 2008 ...

“It was sad that Mr. Tang had been driven to resort to an illegal act like organ trading out of sheer desperation, it made absolutely no sense that he should be denied a kidney and a fresh start in life. In my opinion, this should not have been a crime since it would have resulted in a win-win situation for all parties involved: Mr. Tang would have his new lease on life, while the Indonesian farmer would have money to take care of his family.” - Khaw Boon Wan, Health Minister 2008.

so it is another U-Turn, or what they call a "rethink"?

"No, it was not a U-turn, and neither was it a reversal of government policy. But you can call it a rethink." - Yeo Cheow Tong

Law favours the rich, not the poor. Law protects the rich, not the poor too. It is a sad fact..............:(

Sep 1997
Driven by poverty and unscrupulous doctors, a thriving trade in illegal body parts is flourishing in northern India. Most customers are rich South East Asians desperate for a body organ they cannot get any other way. Extraordinary access to the story of one Thai woman and her husband who travelled to India for a kidney donation that went wrong. Documents her journey, operation and subsequent unexpected death in an Indian hospital. Tracks down the doctor who performed the operation, the middlemen who make most of the money and the man who donated his kidney to examine why this illegal trade still flourishes.
