BN must rectify the medical woes in Sabah first before re-seeking new mandate from the people

Sabah people had had high expectation of Malaysia when it was formed 48 years ago, this negative report of the condition at Labuan hospital from the mouth of its MP is alarming and definitely will damage the credibility of the federal government especially the BN.

Health Minister Datuk Liow shouldn't be taking it lightly as the medical health services has been an ongoing and very hot issue in Sabah. The BN shouldn't give the opposition the chance to raise this matter even if this is a nationwide dilemma of the authority.

East Malaysia states especially Sabah must be given highest priority in addressing all the medical service problems as the condition in the top Sabahan hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), is embarrassingly unbearable and unacceptable.

The rectification process in 're-instating' the hospital has been too slow going that people are beginning to wonder if the government really had the sincerity in resolving the various  issues.

One thing regrettable is that the hospital has so far not been visited by the Prime Minister himself amidst of the 'controversy' when he visited Kota Kinabalu several times for the Meet-The-People Walk-about activity.

Had he been to the wards of the QEH and its internal areas, he might have had a different idea on his mind when he got home to Putra Jaya.

Even though Sabah is a fixed Deposit of BN and the federal government but the situation of the medical services remains an unbelievable mystery to the Sabah people and the rest of the world.

The QEH needs some changes on its  administration and management in order to have any slightest hope of a turn-around.

Sabah state government must quickly take over the responsibility by setting up its own Medical Health Department or Committee to ensure the performance of the Health Services in Sabah is acceptable and within the United Nation's standard of quality service.

BN must rectify all the medical woes in Sabah first before re-seeking new mandate from the people.
