Private doctors, staff also hit by H1N1
KUALA LUMPUR: Influenza A (H1N1) has forced the closure of several private clinics when the doctors or their staff came down with the illness.
Malaysian Medical Association president Dr David K.L. Quek said they were aware of this but had no details.
“It is part of self-quarantine so as to avert the spread of the flu,” he said.
When told that many doctors do not wear face masks to protect themselves, Dr Quek said this was because patients would feel uncomfortable when doctors covered their faces.
On allegations that some doctors were imposing exorbitant charges, he said he had not received any complaints. - + selanjutnya

Malaysia's CIMB Signs New 10-year Contract With EDS
13 Nov 2006
EDS (NYSE: EDS) and CIMB Group, Malaysia's 2nd largest financial services group, announced today the signing of a new 10-year contract in which CIMB has committed to a minimum payment of RM720 million over the 10-year period (RM72 million per annum). The agreement signed between EPIC-I Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIMB Group and EDS includes EDS' delivery of an agile architecture built on solutions from EDS Agility Alliance partners that will help CIMB better achieve its consumer banking growth goals.
The new agreement will allow CIMB to consolidate operations and improve overall competitiveness after its recent launch of "CIMB Bank", its new consumer banking brand. It will also enable CIMB to achieve rapid and sustainable cost reduction in IT, and improved service quality and operational flexibility, including a 22 percent overall cost savings from its 2005 baseline after an initial period of 18 months following transformation and cost savings initiatives to be introduced by EDS. CIMB estimates that, under the new agreement, its cost savings over the 10-year period will amount to RM250 million.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, CIMB Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Nazir Razak said, "The launch of our new consumer banking brand "CIMB Bank" comes with the brand promise of an vastly improved customer experience - emphasizing speed, efficiency, friendly service and a much wider range of products. Superior IT capability is key to delivering our brand promise. As such it is opportune for us to re-evaluate the partnership with EDS to ensure that our IT infrastructure allows us to stay competitive and flexible in the back-end. We can then focus on our core business objectives, serving our customers better, and growth plans for our regional operations."
EDS introduced an enhanced operational and governance model in the new proposal. It also streamlined delivery capabilities to meet CIMB business objectives. Services are to be delivered from Cyberjaya, Malaysia, using EDS' Best ShoreSM strategy, which ensure high-quality, cost-competitive services are provided from onshore, near-shore and offshore locations.
"This new agreement is aligned with both CIMB and EDS' business goals for growth in the region," said EDS Asia President Joe Eazor. "EDS is committed to a high level of service and value-add. CIMB will also be able to tap on EDS' global expertise, accessed locally through the Malaysian hub."
EDS has an unrivalled track record of helping financial institutions improve on performance levels. Currently, the company serves more than 200 customers from the financial industry including commercial banks, retail banks, mortgage companies, and insurance companies, in more than 30 countries.
EDS also processes 4.1 billion merchant transactions and 5 billion credit card transactions, and supports 50 million credit card accounts and 2 million commercial accounts on an annual basis.

Controversy EDS
In November 2001, a £300 million PFI (Private Finance Initiative) project to supply the UK's Ministry of Defence with a payroll system encountered serious problems which threatened to stop the pay of over 30,000 personnel. EDS could not deliver the system and was allegedly rescued by a government bailout.[13]
In December 2003, EDS lost a 10-year £3 billion contract to run the UK Inland Revenue IT services after a series of serious delays in the payment of tax credits, the contract instead being awarded to the company Cap Gemini. EDS had operated systems for the Inland Revenue since 1994 but the performance of its system had been low, causing late arrival of tax credit payments for hundreds of thousands of people.[14][15]
In 2004, EDS was criticised by the UK's National Audit Office for its work on IT systems for the UK's CSA (Child Support Agency) which ran seriously over budget causing problems which led to the resignation of the CSA's head, Doug Smith on 2004-11-27. The system's rollout had been two years late and following its introduction in March 2003 the CSA was obliged to write off £1 billion in claims, while £750 million in child support payments from absent parents remained uncollected. An internal EDS memo was leaked that admitted that the CSA's system was "badly designed, badly tested and badly implemented". UK MPs described it as an "appalling waste of public money" and called for it to be scrapped.[16]
In 2006, EDS' Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) system for the RAF led to thousands of personnel not receiving correct pay due to "processing errors". EDS and MoD staff were reported to have "no definitive explanations for the errors".[17][18]
In September 2007 EDS paid $500,000 to settle an action by the US Securities and Exchange Commission regarding charges related to overstatement of its contract revenues in 2001–2003. At the time these caused a fall in share prices in 2002 which led to legal action against EDS from US shareholder groups.[19][20]
On 2007-10-16, British TV company BSkyB claimed £709m compensation from EDS, claiming that EDS' failure to meet its agreed service standards resulted not just from incompetence, but from fraud and deceit in the way it pitched for the contract.[20]
On 2008-02-04, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is still waiting for compensation from EDS after settlement on failed delivery of IT services.[21]
On 2008-10-10 it was reported that a Ministry of Defence hard drive potentially containing the details of 100,000 Armed Forces personnel could not be located by EDS.[22]
