COMMENT | Much has been talked about recently about the Rakan KKM initiative. Many have criticised it, and I have also received a request media to offer my opinion on this hotly discussed topic.

In my view, the initiative is a beneficial development for Malaysia's public healthcare system, which falls under the Health Ministry.

The concept of offering private services within public institutions is not new; university hospitals have successfully implemented similar models for years without compromising their public service.

Therefore, I believe the term "privatisation" is inaccurate; "private wings within a public hospital" more precisely describes this initiative.
