Health Ministry going against norm of doctors prescribing, and pharmacists dispensing.

The last few months have seen a lot of discourse in the media on the plight of young trainee doctors, or housemen, as they are called.

JJPTR, CYL, Richway Global Venture and BTC I-system all have one thing in common; they are major money game schemes that have been in the limelight recently but for the wrong reasons. The Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) is appalled by the news that so many ‘investors’ (consumers) have been cheated of their hard earned money by these companies.

Feeling the pinch because of the rising cost of living? Let’s not forget about housing woes. Currently, the so-called ‘affordable housing’ is priced from RM100,000 to RM400,000; certainly beyond the reach of the working class particularly for the younger generation. On top of that, most of the available housing are of the higher price range, leaving a limited number of lower-priced ones up for grabs by the greater majority.

The Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) urges the City Council of Penang Island (MBPP) and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) to take urgent action to address the pollution of the Keluang and Nipah Rivers near Bayan Lepas.
