Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred M Bumburing expressed his disappointment over the written reply given to him by the Minister of Health, Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai when answering his oral question at the Dewan Rakyat on March 16, 2010 asking the Minister if he is aware that the Tuaran Hospital in Sabah is the only Hospital that has no ward or bed and when will the work on the Phase II of the hospital commence.
In his written reply, the Minister has said that, quote “Hospital Tuaran yang ada sekarang adalah pelaksanaan projek di bawah Fasa 1 pada tahun 1993 di mana perkhidmatan yang disediakan adalah untuk menyalurkan perkhidmatan kesihatan bagi rawatan pesakit luar sahaja. Oleh yang demikian, pembinaan Hospital Tuaran Fasa 1 dibina dengan tidak disediakan kemudahan katil. Bagi perancangan pembinaan Hospital Tuaran Fasa 2, perkhidmatan yang akan disediakan melibatkan perkhidmatan rawatan pesakit dalam di mana ianya melibatkan keperluan katil dan wad. Buat masa ini rekabentuk Fasa 2 yang dihasilkan menyediakan sebanyak 56 katil. Pihak JKR juga diminta untuk menyediakan kos bagi 76 katil supaya Kementerian Kesihatan mempunyai pilihan untuk perlaksanaan projek ini. Memandangkan RMK-9 akan berkahir pada tahun ini maka projek ini akan diteruskan dalam projek sambungan di bawah RMK-10.” Unquote.
Bumburing Said: “I am very disappointed with the written reply given as it still does not indicate whether the Phase II of the project will ever start. Furthermore, the project started and was completed in the 1990s, why should the Ministry wait for more than a decade to commence the second phase of the project? The nearest hospital with beds are almost 50 kilometers away in Kota Kinabalu and in Kota Belud, and it is only appropriate that a full fledged hospital should have been built in Tuaran immediately after the completion of the first phase. Before the ministry start building a new hospital in areas where it is near or in the vicinity of Kota Kinabalu, they must first consider upgrading the current Tuaran Hospital in line with the 1Malaysia concept.”
Meanwhile, Bumburing also urge the authorities to speed up the investigation over the recent attack on churches and mosques. He also expressed his disappointment over the written reply provided by the Home Ministry when it says, quote “ingin saya nyatakan tiada serangan ke atas masjid dan gereja, tetapi kejadian yang berlaku adalah perbuatan khianat menggunakan api. …Setakat ini sebanyak 2 kes perbuatan membakar surau dan 4 kes perbuatan membakar gereja telah berjaya diselesaikan oleh pihak Polis.” Unquote.
Bumburing said: “I urged the relevant authorities to fully investaigate, and if possible to investigate under the appropriate section of the laws so that whoever is involved, including perhaps those who are behind such attack will be brought to justices, and not just the ‘doer’ of the criminal acts.”
Bumburing made this statement after launching the first Annual General Meeting of the Tuaran Tagal Association at the Tamparuli Youth Hall which was held over the week end. Meanwhile, Bumburing praised the Fisheries Department for adopting the Tagal system as part of the department’s initiative in river conservation effort. RM500,000.00 allocation from the Federal Ministry of Environment have been approved to be disbursed to the respective Tagal groups along Tuaran and Kimaulau rivers and other villagers in the district who are are members of the Tuaran Tagal Association. Bumburing further said that the said allocation will be disbursed by his Administrative Office according to the respective needs for conservation by the various members.
