Minister with Humour

Malaysian Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek has proven himself to be quite a joker when asked whether he would advise non-governmental organisations to be wary of dubious donation promises in the wake of the controversial RM1 billion "donation" to the Malaysian National Cancer Council (Makna) pledged by a Lebanese businessman.

Dr Chua replied: "I think most NGOs are run by people who are quite smart. That's why they have been giving advice to governments and ministers now and then -- all the time, in fact."
