Health Minister Mr Khaw Boon Wan had apologized

on his blog in an entry dated 22 November 2009:

The chemo overdose errors in KKH were human errors. They should not have happened, but they did. We are sorry for the mistakes and are all saddened by the incidents,” he wrote in the opening paragraph.

Mr Khaw also commended the Yip family for their magnanimity in forgiving the two pharmacists responsible for the error.

“We all make mistakes but we must readily admit them and learn from the mistakes so that they do not get repeated.


To err is human; to forgive, divine. To be able to forgive requires a higher level of wisdom and generosity,”
he added.

nothing is heard from KKH CEO Prof Ivy Ng, who is incidentally the wife of Education Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen.
