Woman gets jail for trying to bribe Singapore’s Changi Airport staff with S$70 to let her board flight without valid visaPAC chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said the Health Ministry has been given two months to respond to the five recommendations given by the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee in its report related to Covid-19 management.
On October 30, PAC released a report on the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically on expired vaccines, unusable ventilators, and a surplus of personal protective equipment under the Health Ministry.In the report, the PAC found that no party could be held accountable for the 104 unusable ventilators out of the 136 procured for patients.
The Health Ministry had to procure ventilators from China due to an insufficient supply of ventilators. It was reported that it cost the Health Ministry RM13.07 million as it could not claim compensation for 93 units due to the absence of procurement documentation between the supplier and the ministry.
