调侃马内长狮城养病 惟4私立医院皆马国投资

马来西亚内政部长丹斯里慕尤丁在手术后,于本地一家私人医院静养,包括马首相敦马哈迪伉俪、副揆旺阿兹莎等高官,纷纷越过长堤到狮城探访慕尤丁,祝福后者早日康复。 敦马是在上周六(28日)探望慕尤丁。从后者脸书专页照片显示,慕尤丁气色良好,和敦马伉俪聊天,直到敦马一行在一个小时后离开。 除了敦马,马国副揆旺阿兹莎、财长林冠英、教育部长马智礼和国防副部长刘镇东皆曾先后探望慕尤丁。 慕尤丁是在本月12日,成功进行切除初期胰脏瘤手术,请假期间由首相马哈迪暂代掌内政部。他现年71岁,也是土著团结党主席及巴莪区国会议员。 相信是基于私隐和避免被打扰,慕尤丁专页并未透露前者在哪间医院静养,不过,有眼尖网民发现,慕尤丁养病的病房装潢似乎颇为雅尚,从木质地板和近似酒店的舒适空间,网民推断慕尤丁应是住在百汇班台(Parkway Pantai)旗下的医院。 基于早前敦马重挑马新水供调价争议,一些网民乘机讥讽敦马,原本轻视“小红点”,但是高官养病仍得来狮城而不是在大马,因为还是狮城的医疗服务更优良。 “为何敦马不带自己的水来?他曾嘲笑我们的水务局,说我们喝尿水。但结果他来新加坡,还在我们的餐馆用餐(敦马一行探望慕尤丁后,曾到一家巴东餐厅用餐),喝我们的过滤水何不嘲笑自己?干嘛敦马口是心非?”网民欣蒂(译音)如此揶揄道。 很快就有网民站出来打脸,表示新加坡一些私立医院,背后大股东也是马国政府。 马主权基金持股亚洲最大医疗业者 事实上,以先前提到的百汇班台,就是马国国库控股(Khazanah National…
