At its meeting on 23 May, the WHO Executive Board agreed on an "accelerated process" for electing a Director-General, which will culminate on 9 November with the appointment of the next Director-General.作者: jj99xx 時間: 2006-11-7 12:18 AM
Tho I like to see a Chinese on the top WHO posting, Margaret Chan's famous blunder line, "I eat chicken everyday" is still scaring the heck out of me these days. # {7 n: C' e! e" l

If I must pick one from these two, I would chose the Mexican because I'm simply prejudice against the Japanese because of the bad blood between the two cultures. No matter, these two have been representing their "countries" and not just a small "former colony" or an SAR of China. 8 ^+ Q3 J5 j( M, E3 ^$ t* T( I" o公仔箱論壇 : W3 s9 S# v" h/ k公仔箱論壇Chan moved up in rank in HK Government in the 70's during the Brits' rule. Well, you and I know damn well how the medical professionals treat the general public in the past. Even now, if you want to schedule a prostate cancer surgery in a public hospital, you have to wait about 10-18 months to get it done. That's not really adequate medical treatment. The handling of H5N1 and SAR a few years ago truly reflect the HK officials irresponsibility. , e% h% b h( s7 V/ f

Besides, we all know that in the good old days, all D-8's (department heads in HKG) never have to "mea fie" and never admitted their wrongdoings. Iong Wing-Keung stepped down because he was not a good PR man and the government used him as a scarifying lamb, as far as I'm concern. He's a good physician with a good hear, and that's why he speaks his mind at all time and thereby pissed off the audiences from both sides. 5 r4 X) Y) @; z9 `% H3 E8 o , c5 y1 B j9 q+ Q9 ~) dwww2.tvboxnow.comChina has been grooming Chan lately.

Well, Dr. Magaret Chan's got the job now. I certianly hope she can excel without any northern influence but it's easy to say than done becuase she owes them a lot. Surprised China would groom her instead of its own Minister of Health but I guess it's w double whamy -- Chinese and female.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。0 z1 L( e. z" w0 P" m/ o: I# G

I still remember China's strategy in the Summer Olympic game bid the 1990's and how Beijing reacts to it when Australia (or was it Spain) was picked. A lot of anger shown and a lot of name calling at the time. 1 p! @9 m( a) \5 u* \3 M& H! C2 D! \
Unlike the past, China has a lot of class in the winning of this tense but fair political chess game during the WHO nomination. It shows the new leadership's willing to work with the entire world, including one of our "enemies" like Japan. Very classy and great PR work. Hats off for that! 5 n/ C% C3 Y' CTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。- V7 r G7 i! N/ \3 M1 K5 M
