Bridge, Highway & Hospital
What is the similarity between these three? All of them are yet to materialized. Just more of those lip services by the federal government?

Everyone knows of Queen Elizabeth Hospital issues. Supposedly, there was a plan made since 1995.

Nevertheless the development of Queen Elizabeth Hospital is still ongoing. The master Plan which started in 1995 will be implemented in 2 phases. Included in the plans are the construction of 2 new tower blocks which will include a new Accident and Emergency unit, a Central laboratory, several wards and the extension of the existing Intensive Care Unit with an addition of a Coronary Care Unit. source

Yet what have been done?

Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Wanita chief Melanie Chia expressed regret and shock over Deputy Health Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad's revelation that there is no budget under the Ninth Malaysia Plan to construct a new hospital here.SK

That's right, it wasn't even list under the Ninth Malaysian Plan. Only now they are scrambling to find solution. One of the solution is using an abandoned building as temporary hospital. What happen to 1995 plan? How bad is QEH condition? Read this.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital is not the only hospital with problems in Sabah. This hospital is even worst. It doesn't even exist yet even though it was promised by Najib since 1994!

The 1994 sign board for a hospital in Nabawan.

Only recently this issue was pulled out from the 'old file' by Tan Sri Joseph Kurup.

KOTA KINABALU: State Deputy Rural Development Minister Tan Sri Joseph Kurup wants the hospital project in remote Nabawan, promised by the Federal Government in 1994, to start immediately. TS

This was after his seat in Pensiangan was declared vacant. What was he doing all this time when he was still an MP for Pensiangan? But what does Nabawan has to do with Pensiangan?

The Nabawan and Sook state constituencies make up the Pensiangan parliamentary seat which could see a by-election following the Court of Appeal hearing scheduled for Feb 12 and 13. TS

See the connection? Quite obvious really. But since the federal court have overturned the K.K High Court decision on nullifying his win in Pensiangan, I wonder will his now 'active' state stay active.

Lip service....again and again...and again...and again...
