I believe in the potential of stem cell. I think what concerns Dr Chua is how the business is being conducted. Maybe the sales person promised earth and heaven, make everything sounds so positive it becomes a craze just like the tulip.
swifz, i agreed that the sales reps could be the culprit but for a health minister to dismiss the other potential of stem cell is equivalent to totally shootdown the probably only-life-safer option public has …
you’ll never know what your stem-cell can do to your current baby 10 years down the road …
as a minister he shouldn’t use the word “hype” – instead he should get clarification from the storage provider if there’re indeed irresponsible sales persons who promised the sky …
just imagine parents who initially decided to store their new-born baby’s cord only to throw it away because of the minister’s statement …
cheers …
I believe the Indian govt is not involved in this. Read the news once again, you will realise this. Manipal Education Group is a private entity and is not concerned in any way with the Govt of India. So if Manipal is fooled into investing in Malaysia, it is their folly, not Indian Govt’s folly. Kindly rephrase your blog entry.
Yes, Singapore has done a great, great deal in pushing their biotechnology. They have spent big, big monies recruiting some of the very best in the field from the UK, US, and Japan. Even the professor who cloned Dolly the Sheep is now working in Singapore. When it comes to vision, strategic planning, and execution, there’s still a lot for the Malaysian government to learn.
