The Long Trek To Keep Medical Inflation In Check

Malaysia's private medical inflation cost is higher than regional average causing the rise of health insurance premiums in tandem. We ask Sim Tze Tzin, MP for Bayan Baru & member of the Public Accounts Committee for his views on how this issue can be addressed and what the government is doing to ensure than medical cost does not rise exorbitantly.
