<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><BR> </DIV><TT>The Malaysian Health Coalition
against<BR>Privatisation has been insisting in full disclosure of<BR>healthcare
proposals but to no avail. The M'sian<BR>government has chosen a consultant to
work out the<BR>Health Financing Scheme which is to be funded by
UNDP.<BR><BR>Request for a copy of the TOR was denied on the basis<BR>that it is
a state secret under the Official Secret<BR>Act 1972.<BR><BR>The Coalition
raised the matter with the UNDP Regional<BR>rep. Dr Richard Leete but he has not
replied and UNDP<BR>is advertising for a project officer to work on
the<BR>National Financing Scheme but there's no consultation<BR>with the public
and NGOs. Evrything is shrouded in<BR>secrecy and UNDP connives at this lack
of<BR>transparency.<BR></TT></BODY></HTML>
