Pua: Where is Health Ministry’s Tung Shin inquiry?

PJ Utara MP Tony Pua wants the Health Minister to reveal the status of its inquiry over the Tung Shin hospital incident and not to pass responsibility over to the police.

PETALING JAYA: Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai should take full responsibility for the Tung Shin hospital inquiry arising from the Bersih 2.0 rally on July 9, and not leave it to the police.

Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said that it now appeared as though the ministry’s “high-level committee” to inquire into the tear-gas incident had completely “dissolved”.

“Of course they won’t say it is dissolved but (the ministry’s inquiry) is completely subjected to police investigation. It appears now that the ministry’s inquiry over the incident is the police inquiry,” he said.

Pua was speaking to the media after giving his witness statement at the Petaling Jaya police district headquarters today.

MCA ministers’ Tung Shin denials are nauseating

In spite of evidence, two MCA leaders are denying that toxic materials were fired into a hospital compound. Instead of apologizing and punishing those involved, they resorted to denials.

MCA, police web of lies exposed: Tung Shin doctors confirm tear gas attack

It looks like the more the Najib administration tries to wriggle out of the Tung Shin Hospital fisaco, the worse it becomes.

The fact MCA president Chua Soi Lek and his deputy Liow Tiong Lai are leading the BN's defense that the iconic hospital was not hit by tear gas and chemical-laced water has made citizens even more upset as neither leader holds much traction in the credibility stakes with the public.
