I received an advertisement flyer in my mail box. It’s an ad by Parkway Health (Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles, East Shore Hospital), Singapore.

In case you fall sick, these are the price you have to PAY!!!

So, let say you sit in office for too long and you got hemorroids, 痔瘡, please pay S$ 4,370. I think the price given is just the fee for operation, still excluding medication fee, hospitalization and other hidden charges.

Prostate problems are common among old guys. The price to pay is S$ 8,500.

If you have heart attack and want to do a bypass, huhu… you gotta pay S$ 23,000, cheap cheap nia lah……

Suddenly, I feel blessed living in Malaysia. Although this country sometimes ‘sucks’, but at least the healthcare is good. We can still access to very low-cost healthcare services.

Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) provides by-pass surgeries at a fraction of the cost only.

Affordable health care is one of the reasons we love Malaysia!
