KOTA BELUD HOSPITAL SHORT OF CAR PARKS

BUILDING..... Arrow shows car park being used to construct new building.

THE CAR parking problem is aggravated by the taken up of its existing car parking lots to make way for the construction of new out-patient, emergency unit and other hospital facilities.

The construction work has forced the hospital visitors to seek parking space outside the hospital. The car owners and the patients have to park far away and walk to the hospital, and some have to park on the road side and even on the pavements.

The situation is messy and there are frequent traffic jams in the hospital area, and some time sick patients are forced to well long distance to get in. This is terrible and there are many complaints and grouses.

The KK MP Hiew King Cheu was brought by a MR. Chong from Kota Belud to inspect the parking place and see the traffic situation jam in the hospital. The people in the hospital also complained to Hiew and had asked him to help to get the problem resolved.

They also said they don’t understand that why the local elected MP or SA never border to come to assist and solve the problem. This reflects fully their slake attitude in the matter and a total ignorance on the suffering of the people.

They also thank MP Hiew who comes frequently to check on the various problems of the people in Kota Belud, and said that this is the type of people’s representative they want in the future.

MP Hiew said that there is plenty of state land available next the KB Hospital, and why this empty land is not converted to build new parking lots for the people first. The authority should construct new parking area before demolishing the existing parking lots.

This is surely bad planning and did not take the people’s needs into consideration. There are so many cars coming to the hospital, which includes the car of doctor, nurses, hospital workers, visitors, and patients. Where are they going to park their cars in such a small and cramp area?

Kota Belud Hospital is indeed needed much attention on its staffing problems and its facilities shortages. This hospital is important and the Ministry of Health should pay more emphasis in it, and how many times the Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai and the Director of Health had visited this hospital in the past years?

We can not let the KB people to continue to suffer any more, we need some one who can help them, and to give them the best health care and enough parking spaces to park their cars. The BN government can not deliver and it is time to allow Pakatan Rakyat to help you. (DAP Media)
