DAP SANDAKAN strongly opposed to the proposed plan to buy over Sabah Medical Centre (SMC) situated a Jalan Damai, Luyang, not for the second time, by the Ministry of Health for a reported figure of Rm400 million and this amount to nothing but a costly “bail-out” of a private company that profit some BN politician who are doing the biddings.
The excuse given to buy in this case is because the need to decongest the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) which had exceeded its total capacity shows the total lack of forward planning to the needs of the State by the Ministry of Health. So this quick fix is done at the expense of the raykat.
The people of Sabah is still sore over the sales of the old SMC in Likas, now called Likas Hospital, which once belong to the State Government, it was rumour the old SMC was taken over by some private consortium for a “penitence” price and subsequently sold it to the Federal Government for a huge profit by signing just a few pieces of paper. These kinds of practices have to be stop.
I urge the State Health Director Dr. Hj Marzukhi Md Isa not to proceed any further with the negotiation instead he should double-up its effort to find a new and better location to build a new ultra modern hospital in Kota Kinabalu which will truly bring the best of medical care to the people of Sabah.
I think it is not prudent for the Federal Government to spend Rm400 in bailing out a private initiative as the Rm400 could be use to build two SMC and I urge the State Government to urgently allocate an area of 100 acres in Kota Kinabalu for this proposed so that work for a new ultra modern hospital can commence works immediately.
