Khaw - Get off your Butt and get some exercise
-
MOH try to encourage everyone to self help, self prevention and self motivate.
Be healthy so that you don't have to pay HIGH medical cost.
CNA - Prevention is better than cure and the Ministry of Health wants more Singaporeans to take greater care of their health through exercise and health screening.
Speaking at the sidelines of a free public health screening event on Saturday, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said health screenings are a good way to identify chronic conditions early.
But he also urged doctors to ensure that their patients follow up with the proper treatment warning that many patients fail to do so and this could lead to further complications.
He said: "Call them up, get their telephone number and nag them. If they don’t see their General Practitioner, ask them why. If there is financial difficulty, we can arrange through polyclinics. Affordability cannot be the issue but inertia is a big issue."

aiyo, ah tan ar?
Khaw's butt very fit liao, he dun hv to exercise his butt, maybe he should exercise his neck and tongue better lah..
Do you know that as a health minister, he is very free one leh, more free than those other free ministers, but of course that home minister is the most free one. As most of the minister like wong, khaw, mah, gan etc etc all are short short, they should go play basketball or do stretching exercise to expand themselves,..
Now, serious, why khaw call for exercise and health check? do you think he is really that good?? my take is, because of CPF, if u dun exercise and go for health check, you die earlier, your happy family will completely draw out your CPF +CPF insurance and your medisave will pass on to your ever happy childrens. What happen is, govt will loose out on making use of CPF in a longervity term, lost one more contributor and also the medical and health industry will loose one customer. Hope you see that connection, if not, what hell is he grumbling and worrying about Singaporeans health? all because of $$
