"Speaking at a community event on Sunday, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who is still senior minister and wields considerable power, said his wife suffered the stroke on the evening of October 25 while accompanying him on a trip and that he found himself unable to get a speedy diagnosis.
"In Britain, at night, no private hospitals have a CT scan team," he said. "So we had no choice but to go to a National Health Service hospital near our hotel.
If she was in Singapore ... within 90 minutes flat, we'd know exactly what went wrong because we have emergency services round-the-clock."
Mr Lee said he then asked the Singaporean high commissioner in London to pull strings. "He rang up and got through to 10 Downing Street. Because of 10 Downing Street, the CT scan was done at 3.30am. And then the blood clot could be seen clearly."

Yes, it's possible, but probably for white ministers and their families only.

LKY was comparing apples with oranges. Any hospital in S'pore (especially a public sector facility) would have dropped everything to pay attention to any member of the Lee Family.

$8 heart bypass surgery possible or not? Possible but only for KBW. Ordinary citizens not possible. Same logic applies.

You go private of course very fast. You go public hospital and can wait and wait. It goes on for months for appointments, by that time, it is already over.

In Australia, PM Albanese still join the queue
How do you know he join the queue? Dun bullsh*t without showing evidence. And also pls let us know if it is possible in Australia to get diagnostic results within 90min. If not, just STFU.

Raffles also. And our public horsepower as well. They go home after day time operation hours but are on call... standby. We don't have this ang moh culture of "Closed means closed, and I will go on strike if you dare to ask me to come back to attend to emergency cases"
For a brain scan, it should be MRI, not CT Scan ba.

HSK recovered fully from his aneurysm. It shows what SGH can do to save lives. If it were the UK, he would not be so lucky....I don't wish to write what the loss of blood supply to the brain can do. I have seen too many and I know. You go read it up.

I tried to buy a battery charger for my laptop in London just before 5 pm as the store owner was preparing to shut for the day. I thought he would sell me the product before locking up, but he told me to come back the next day. This would never happen at a small business in SG; he wasn't an employee, but the owner.

If he doesn't, nothing wrong.
You might say, still got 5 min what, then the question is can u finish the purchase within 5 min? If not, then it is back to my original point.
Morale of the story is dun expect ppl to serve u outside of what they are paid for.
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..
