| Proposed new hospital in Sri Aman ‘sick’ Posted: 29 Jan 2014 07:25 PM PST KUCHING: Though it has been nearly three years after it was announced, work on the proposed new hospital in Sri Aman has not started. DAP Sri Aman chief Leon Jimat Donald, who visited the site of the new hospital recently, was shocked to find nothing had changed ever since the project's announcement. "The site is apparently abandoned, judging by the condition of the gate into the area that has collapsed and the signage nearly covered by crawling vines. "It is indeed an extremely painful wait for the people of Sri Aman yet again; the dream of a new modern hospital to service and care for them," said Leon, who is also vice chairman of DAP Sarawak. He wondered how much longer the people of Sri Aman had to wait for the new hospital to be built. The present hospital, which had been operating since 1959, can no longer cope with current demands. The medical workers, he claimed, were overworked as the current hospital had very old facilities. "Promises upon promises seem to be heaped upon the people of Sri Aman, yet we are ignored yet again when the pleas for a new hospital are apparently ignored." He claimed the elected representatives in Sri Aman seemed to be doing nothing about this apparent problem. The new hospital is one of the projects announced during the walkabout by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in 2011. Based on media reports, the RM200 million project was to be implemented in two phases and scheduled to be completed by October 2016.

| Reports can be made at any police station — Pauzi Posted: 29 Jan 2014 11:35 AM PST KUCHING: Members of the public not satisfied with the level of service provided at any police station can report the matter directly to the top. Padawan district police chief Supt Pauzi Bujang said he has received a number of complaints from the public regarding poor service provided by on-duty personnel, and has taken disciplinary action against those found to be in the wrong. "The public are our customers and, as such, are our priority. When we address them, we must be polite and not raise our voice. It is important to uphold our image as police personnel," he said during a monthly parade in Kota Sentosa near here yesterday. Citing an example, Pauzi said there were several personnel who refused to accept a police report from a complainant, and would instead direct the complainant to another police station with the reason that the incident occurred outside of their jurisdiction. "For your information, a police report can be lodged at any police station even if the incident occurred in Peninsular Malaysia. You cannot tell them to go back and lodge their report there," he said, adding that he would not hesitate to initiate disciplinary action against any personnel found to have refused to receive a report. On another note, Pauzi revealed that the crime index in Padawan for January had recorded a decline of 25.47 per cent compared to the same period last year, and called on his men to continue working hard to further bring down the index. The monthly parade also saw Pauzi presenting commendation certificates to 23 officers and rank-and-file personnel for their recent outstanding performance.

| Couple nabbed for allegedly cheating three single mothers Posted: 29 Jan 2014 11:35 AM PST SIBU: Police here have detained a husband and wife in their 40s suspected to have cheated three individuals of RM20,000.

The victims were also said to have been told by the couple to place their money with them. Acting on a report lodged by the trio, the police arrested the couple at a house at Kemuyang Road here on Monday night. The couple is under a four-day remand which began on Tuesday.

| Man hospitalised after brother crashes into stationary vehicles Posted: 29 Jan 2014 11:35 AM PST KUCHING: A man was hospitalised with head injuries after a car driven by his younger brother crashed into a stationary lorry and a car along the Kuching-Serian Road yesterday morning. The 31-year-old, who works offshore but returned here to celebrate the Lunar New Year, was seated in the front passenger seat of the car driven by his 21-year-old sibling. The pair were heading back to their family home in Serian around 8am when they struck the rear of a stationary lorry near Tapah bazaar and ricocheted into another car before coming to a halt. An ambulance was summoned to the scene to send the offshoreman, who was the only person injured in the incident, to the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH). Separately, a young couple suffered injuries to their limbs after colliding with a car at Jalan Muara Tuang on Tuesday night. The incident happened around 10pm when the couple's motorcycle slammed into a car, which is said to have made a sudden turn in front of them into a junction. Both the 20-year-old husband and his 17-year-old wife were left with scrapes to their arms and legs as a result of the collision, and were sent to SGH.
