From overhead bridges to quality medical service in Kota Kinabalu, or Sabah

I'm amazed by a statement from MIC Sabah that the state currently has RM3 Billion reserve; but why is it that we don't have money to build the long-awaited overhead bridges all overKK. 

For example, 4 overhead bridges must be built from Centre Point to Asia City, Sinsuran, Api-Api, and WaterFront.

Overhead bridges should also be built at the Queen Elizabeth hospital junction at Jalan Penampang, between the Inland revenue building and the EPF, Alam Mesra shophouse to 1Borneo complex, Kompleks Karamunsing to Polis Karamunsing Station, Bangunan Tun Fuad etc.............

People safety must be placed at the highest priority especially against the existing poorer medical services in Kota Kinabalu due to the sudden incident of present tower block be declared unsafe to use. If someone admitted to hospital, how well can we cope? how good are we in providing a resonable level of services? 

My personal experience is that we are far from the expected low quality bracket of the awards, and services.

Question now is how to regain the reputation of Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH)? 

If we were able to make QEH the hospital of choice, Sabah is not far from the medi-tourism, and shall attract more visitors, and second home owners, and various other resources including successful businessmen, talents and genius.

It all boils down to good governance, and our politicians have a lot to catch up.
