» Re: "Buy now, bankrupt later", (Business, Sept 1). Little is ever said about the so-called many (often SET-listed) prolific finance companies here, which charge very high interest rates, levy late fees very quickly, and impose other strict rules that are often, may we say, not very consumer-finance friendly.
Old school forever

» Re: "Non-state vaccines get nod", (BP, April 10). It's encouraging that private hospitals will finally be allowed to purchase Covid-19 vaccines to help overcome the slow pace of immunisation in the country. But can anyone explain to me why it should take a month for a committee to develop a plan for private hospital procurement? And why will the purchases by private hospitals be limited to 10 million doses, which are enough for only 5 million people, when there is an expected shortfall of at least 70 million doses if the entire population is to be immunised?
