Today we speak to the newly minted Minister on the many challenges facing both his Ministry as well as the government as a whole. We explore the balance of forensic analysis of the previous Administration - rife with allegations of corruption and sweetheart deals - and developing plans for the future. From the promise (and cost) of Peduli Sihat, to the building new hospitals in rural Malaysia (nine are pending) to conservatism in the health service.
