I rise under Standing Orders 49 to move a motion to seek leave of the House to introduce a private member’s bill to be known as Ministers and Members of Parliament (Declaration of Assets) 1978 Bill requiring every Minister and Member of Parliament to publicly declare his or her assets annually and that of the next of kin.

Government medical brain drain

Racial imbalance in the recruitment of nurses and assistant nurses

Two proposals for the rectification of racial imbalance in the recruitment of nurses and assistant nurses by Public Services Commission

Two weeks ago, the Health Minister, Tan Sri Lee Siok Yew, expressed his unhappiness over the present nurses recruitment exercises because the recent intake does not reflect the racial composition in the country.

This led to a public clarification by the Public Services Commission Chairman, Tan Sri Sheikh Abdullah bin Sheikh Abu Bakar, who asserted with facts and figures that “it has always been the policy as well as the practice of this Commission to be as fair and as just, as is humanly possible, to all candidates regardless of race and religion: and wherever possible to reflect the multi-racial character of the country in the public service.”

Tan Sri Sheikh Abdullah slanted the figures to support his statement, although in actual fact, the figures clearly showed that the Public Services Commission had not reflected the multi-racial character of the country in its recruitment exercises into the public service.
