"Ini bulan 8 awak punya next service 60,000 km, kene tukar itu timing belt $1700, campur itu drivebelt, spark plug airfilter, auto transaxle fluid dan brake fluid.. sume skali plus itu diskauuun ---- pit pit pit (pressing a calculator as big as my palm - takot salah kira kot) ... hmm u kena bayaa $2500"
"Waadafak" the green goblin inside my stomach shouted back at me.
It never crosses my uninquisitive mind that after 5 free services in
the past 2 years, the 1st car-service that i'm required to pay would
butt-slap me with a big 2.5 grand. What happen to foreplay... can't we start with something small like $200 - 300??Grrr.. don't make me angry Mr car-service man, U don't like it when I'm angry. Hmm I wonder what would happen if docs would start be telling this to their patients.
"Hmm since now you have reached age 40 y-old, we need to change your Mitral valve, left kidney, right eyeball, and those are gonna cost you only $20,000 with our Raya promotion. Plus we'll throw in a nose-job for free"
Well you folks ever heard preventitive medicine?The basic tenet is maintaining wellness, and maximising the quality of life during the ageing process.
It involves scheduled check up on healthy people, making sure that the 'brake fluid and oil filter' still in good shape and anticipate any future illness that may lurk around in near future. Rather than waiting for the car to break down and towed to garage for repair i.e a sick people brought in by ambulance for a heart failure, that by then it might be too late.
You throw in a combo of preventitive + rejuvenation medicine (e.g. Omega Three, CoEnzyme Q10 are sum of the proven supplements in fighting anti-oxidant and heart diseases).
Now those have the potential to be the next big thing that our private medical service has to offer to Malaysia's own baby-boom population.
You savvy matey?
