亚庇伊利莎白女皇医院巡察局文告:针对亚庇国会议员邱庆洲呼吁当局快速解决亚庇伊利莎白女皇医院缺泊车位的问题。



谢谢亚庇国会议员邱庆洲先生呼吁当局快速解决亚庇伊利莎白女皇医院缺泊车位的问题。

其实医院是有足够的泊车位,但离急救室却需走约莫300米之遥。遗憾的是,却有民众‘贪方便’而宁愿‘冒险’泊在不该泊的地方。

该处本来就已经非常擁挤及车流量大,因此,在该处停车或慢车已不太适当;更何况是在该处泊车呢!也许交通警察或DBKK执法组应该在该处驻守或会改变情况。

其实,公众是应该配合使用医院特设的停车场,虽然需走约莫300米之遥。这样的距离,还算不坏。只要是一个让公众消费者有个正当妥善的不违例的泊车方案,而无需提心吊胆的惧怕收取交警的传票,目前的
医院停车场应该还可以被接受的。

急救室的入口是严禁泊车的。当然,如遇紧急事故需运载及护送病人进院而稍停片刻,则属例外,但仍需在第一时间内卸下病人而迅急离开,以保持门口永远开蔽无阻。

亚庇伊利莎白女皇医院一直以来都仍处在‘发展中’的阶段,因此是免不了会有此‘发展阵痛’之癥;民众还需再‘忍耐’,假以时日,问题必然会受到当局关注与解决的。

本局将会加强反映及跟进这件民怨/民困的投诉于有关当局。

民众若有任何不满,或任何建议,可以连络如下:-

Development News on QEH II





Posted by Picasa
This is the sign that the authority is doing something for Sabahan.

I hope they start work on the Twin Tower soon.

The introduction of Shuttle Bus service is a good effort to reduce the number of vehicles visiting the hospital (QEH II), and the long term solution of building the 5-storey car park is commendable.

These are the signs of action of government resolving the people's woes.

I just hope that the authority continues the efforts to regain the public confidence in the government.

Kempen Kesedaran Menderma Darah Peringkat Hospital Bil 1/2010

The expectation to raise 50 bags of precious blood has been successfully achieved during today's campaign.

It was held from 10.00am till 4.00pm at the hall of Dewan Sri Kinabalu located at the PGMC block adjacent to the new hospital building - the Specialist Building (Bangunan Klinik Pakar).

The event was the first of the four blood donation drives by the hospital in 2010, and is part of a continuing campaign of the hospital to prolong the public awareness on the ever acute shortage and urgency of blood supply in the State capital.

The event was a joint effort between Unit Tabung Darah (Blood Bank Unit), Kelab Kebajikan Dan Kebudayaan Hospital (Hospital Staff Welfare & Culture Club), Unit Promosi Kesihatan (Health Promotion Unit), and Lembaga Pelawat Hospital (Hospital Visitors Board).

The most significant of today's event was the presence of more women willing to contribute their blood for the bank, with the participants mostly made up by the female hospital staffs, followed by the ladies from Wanita UMNO Bahagian Penampang led by Ms. Florence Suah, Divisional Secretary, and Ms. Monica Apuk, Welfare Bureau (Biro Kebajikan).

Puan Nining Ballard, the chairman of the women wing of UMNO Bahagian Penampang, is a member of the Hospital Visitors Board.

Puan Liam of the Health Promotion Unit, and En. Jorimin Langap the Blood Bank Unit, are both agreed to extend the future donation drive to the female as well as the youth groups.

Free goodies for donors were sponsored by both the club (Hospital Staff Welfare & Culture Club) and the Hospital Visitors Board. The Visitors Board had contributed three lucky draw's prizes, namely electric rice cooker, Jug kettle, and a electric kettle respectively.

Blood is forever needed, and is very much appreciated by the recipients. The shortage of blood is especially acute during and near the festival seasons.

The public, especially the young and healthy one, is therefore encouraged to donate their precious blood voluntarily, regularly, and generously.

Others present at the campaign during the morning session were: Sister Tomblow Ngadiran of the Nursing Unit; Puan Mahanom, Ketua Unit Akaun; En. Chu Kong Ming, ALPHQEH Chairman; and ALPHQEH Committee Members: En. Ong See Kwang.

Change For The Sake Of Health (Part 1) (Bernama)

Reprinted from Bernama / January 04, 2010 15:13 PM

Change For The Sake Of Health

By Melati Mohd Ariff

This is the first of the two part article on consumerism

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 (Bernama) -- "Change your ways!" This is the mantra for consumers in 2010.

Without the change in attitude, efforts and campaign undertaken by the government or non-governmental organisations (NGO) to educate consumers serves no purpose.

Moreover, consumers will only end up wasting their money and put their lives in jeopardy.

In changing consumer attitude, it is wise to reflect on some of the campaigns including the "Tak Nak" campaign to eradicate smoking and the move by the government to increase the retail price of sugar.

The campaign on smokers is to remind them constantly that smoking not only wastes money but also endangers their health and the health of those around them.

PRICE HIKE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMERS

Therefore, smokers in the nation should view positively the government's decision to set a minimum price of RM6.40 for a 20-stick cigarette pack effective January 1, 2010.

Malaysians may well be aware of the gory images on the effects of smoking flashed on billboards, posters and the cigarette packs.

Since the launch of the campaign in 2009, Malaysians have been exposed to the dangers of smoking and the danger caused by secondhand smoke.

Smokers should also be aware of the dangerous content in the cigarette itself. The cigarette is said to contain about 4,000 elements with at least 200 of them hazardous to human health.

The dangerous components in cigarettes are tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. The three impair the lungs and blood circulation!

In fact the World Health Organisation (WHO) had clearly stated the dangers of smoking through its bulletin, World Health, and the bulletin is incorporated at the Health Ministry's website.

The bulletin states that the nicotine found in tobacco unleashes chemical reaction similar to heroin and cocaine.

SMOKING KILLS

The ministry's website also states that smoking can kill up to 1 billion people in the 21st century.

It is estimated that there are about 1.15 billion smokers all over the world with more than 80 per cent of them living in nations with low and medium income.

The website also quoted WHO as saying that tobacco is among the leading cause of deaths worldwide.

WHO estimated that approximately 100 million people will die due to complications caused by tobacco in the 20th century.

THE MALAYSIAN SCENE

Back in Malaysia, smokers represent almost half of the male population and each day about 45 to 50 teenagers under 18 pick up the habit.

About 30 per cent of the boys between 12 and 18 years smoke and the number of teenage girls picking up the habit has increased.

According to the ministry, health problems related to smoking including lung cancer has increased by 17 percent.

The same destructive habit has contributed to one million coronary cases.

Speak to any cardiologist, among the healthy lifestyle that they would suggest is to keep away from cigarettes.

Apart from high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure, smoking too contributes to heart problem.

AVOID SWEET TOOTH

Like cigarettes, sugar too has negative implications to health but again many Malaysian consumers remain indifferent in their consumption.

Each time sugar shortage happens, often because traders hoard the commodity to push up the prices on the pretext of a shortage, consumers rush to retail outlets and supermarkets to buy sugar more than they need.

This in reality benefits the traders but consumers remain oblivious to the dangers of excessive sugar consumption to their health especially in their golden years.

When the government announced a 20 sen increase in the price of sugar, the same consumer attitude was seen at business premises.

Consumers were seen filling the shopping carts with sugar with some newspapers flashing pictures of empty sugar racks. There were instances where unscrupulous traders took advantage of the run for sugar by hiking the price to RM1.70 per kilogram.

As usual most consumers lamented that the rise in price will make life difficult for them but fail to realise that it is better to be more prudent in using sugar.

This state of mind prevailing among consumers has defeated the campaigns by the governments and NGOs to push consumers to reduce sugar intake.

The Consumer's Association of Penang (CAP) that has been advocating the well-being of consumers came up with a handbook 'Sugar Dangerous for Health'.

Those who have taken the trouble to read the handbook will think twice in consuming sweet delicacies or in adding sugar to their drinks.

SICK BECAUSE OF SUGAR

According to CAP, chemically sugar is equivalent to alcohol and the chemical reaction is similar to the one caused by heroin. It is addictive as well.

Malaysians are reported to consume 26 teaspoons of sugar daily compared with recommended intake of seven teaspoon! The record held by Malaysians even surpasses world daily average sugar intake of 11 teaspoons daily.

As for those hooked to canned sweet or carbonated drinks, think again as each can contains between seven and eight teaspoons of sugar.

According to CAP, the white substance that we call as sugar is actually "man made poison" and other than its sweetness there is no nutritional value.

As for those who could not do away with sugar, now think again as sugar is linked with 60 types of diseases including cancer, asthma, allergy, diabetes, coronary disease, biliary stone, problems relating to the immune system, kidney disease and poor mental health.

Also do note that the 2009 statistics revealed 17 per cent of Malaysia's population of 27 million suffer from diabetes. Diabetes can lead to other complications like lost of sight, coronary disease, renal failure and stroke!

The 2006 data pointed out that 21 per cent of Malaysians are overweight and 6.2 per cent suffer from obesity.

Thus, change into a discerning consumer and choose wisely what is the best for you and your family.
