Ling Yoong, who helped set up medical services on Nauru and Manus Island: says.............................. "I was employed to give them the health checks and intervention they needed, but some of the people started demanding things they wanted," "A woman wanted bigger breasts and said she did not like the ones she had. "I continued to get the impression that many of these people were not genuine refugees. "If I were a refugee, I would be quietly grateful for arriving somewhere safely, not asking for breast surgery." "as much as I supported the genuine refugees, I knew more and more were not," "I have a lot of empathy for refugees ... when I started, I told myself I was just going to be treating people, I said I was not going to get involved in the politics, But I soon went from dealing with mostly human misery to human demands."
