YB Lim Yi Wei 林怡威, 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗸𝘂 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗻

I fully welcome the good news from the Health Minister and Selangor Menteri Besar about a finalised site for a public hospital for Petaling Jaya. With public hopes high, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Selangor State Government must act decisively so that this commitment is honoured and executed.

𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 “𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹” 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 “𝗭𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘀𝗶 𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗺𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗺 (𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲)”

Older PJ residents will recall Kontena Nasional Berhad’s land being discussed as a potential site. According to PJ MP Lee Chean Chung, the Kontena land and PKNS Kelana Jaya were identified as potential sites in May 2025 and dropped 1 year later.

As Klang Valley land costs continue climbing, early preparation of financing mechanisms and rezoning processes helps mitigate the final acquisition price being too expensive for MOH and triggering the need to identify another site. To avoid a “rinse and repeat”, land administration matters must be quickly negotiated and executed so that the project is fully locked in.

𝟮. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟯𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 (𝗥𝗠𝗞𝟭𝟯)

While the Health Minister stated that financing is possible outside RMK13’s framework, institutionalised fiscal commitment helps specify and measure deliverables. There are 3 upcoming critical moments:

First, MOH must secure Budget 2027 allocation for land acquisition and preparation, such as plan approvals, infrastructure capacity assessment, and establishing project management leadership with meaningful healthcare worker (HCW) representation.

Next, the work funded by Budget 2027 must see the project included in RMK13’s nearest Rolling Plan cycle (likely RP3 in 2028).

The 3rd key moment to ensure project progress is the RMK Mid-term Review (expected in Q3 2028).

These touchpoints are critical because RMK inclusion doesn’t guarantee project fulfilment. For example, the National Rugby Stadium was listed in RMK12. In 2023, land acquisition failed and the funds were returned to the Ministry of Finance (M*F). The stadium was not listed in RMK13. Although it may get a second life in RMK13’s RP2 cycle, the national rugby stadium is a cautionary tale.

𝟯. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Establishing a hospital may take upwards of 3 – 5 years. Meanwhile, PJ residents still need urgent and affordable healthcare.

During the November 2024 Selangor State Assembly sitting, I proposed that the State Government add Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) to the list of healthcare institutions offering the state’s RM10,000 hospitalisation benefit for acute and chronic diseases – to which Public Health EXCO Jamaliah Jamaluddin said that talks were ongoing.

Considering UMMC’s price hike exercise in January 2025 and the impact of global uncertainty on medicine and healthcare equipment prices, these discussions should be accelerated to provide relief to PJ residents.

𝗡𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲

Malaysia’s healthcare system is bleeding manpower. The solutions are there – they’ve been raised and debated through years of stakeholder townhalls, thinktank recommendations, and collective action by NGOs, parties like Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), and Hartal Doktor Kontrak.

Patriotism won’t pay the bills or match the extent of HCWs’ daily physical, mental and emotional labour. At some point, excessive reliance on sacrifice risks normalising exploitation.

As a PJ elected representative, I’m fully committed to helping where I can, to ensure this project becomes reality. Yes, policy change and ex*****on meet cost-related speed bumps. But healthcare must remain a public good: undisturbed by austerity and protected from profiteering. If we don’t shed the austerity mindset or show willpower to address understaffing, fair pay, overwork, or congestion, a new public hospital for PJ may still struggle to meet residents’ healthcare needs.

A MONUMENTAL MILESTONE FOR PUBLIC HEALTHCARE: WELCOMING THE JOINT DECISION ON THE NEW PUBLIC HOSPITAL SITE

I wholeheartedly welcome the joint announcement made today by the Minister of Health and the Menteri Besar of Selangor regarding the finalized site for the new public hospital. This decision marks a monumental milestone for the residents of Bukit Gasing and the wider Petaling Jaya community, who have long endured the strain of underserved public healthcare infrastructure in our area.

Securing a dedicated public hospital for our constituents has been a core mission of mine for over a decade. I first raised the urgent need for this facility back in 2016. This advocacy is formally documented in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly records, notably during the sitting on 30 March 2016 (Selangor Hansard, 30 Mac 2016), where I persistently pushed the state government to identify and allocate suitable land to bridge this crucial healthcare gap.

"To see a policy that I have championed since 2016 finally reach this critical turning point is incredibly rewarding. This is not just a win for policy advocacy; it is a massive victory for the people of Bukit Gasing who deserve accessible, affordable, and quality public healthcare close to home."

I want to express my deepest gratitude to both the Ministry of Health and the Selangor State Government for their collaborative spirit and political will in finalizing this site. Witnessing both the Federal and State leadership align on this project is the culmination of years of persistent groundwork, debates, and community feedback.

With the site now locked in, my focus shifts to ensuring that the next phases of planning and construction are executed without unnecessary delay. I look forward to working closely with both the Ministry and the State government to ensure this hospital is built to serve our community efficiently.

Non-Muslim Places of Worship in Commercial Shoplots

The Selangor State Government wishes to address recent concerns regarding PLANMalaysia Selangor’s guidelines on non-Muslim places of worship, specifically concerning the approval of future applications for non-Muslim places of worship in commercial shoplots.

As such, we wish to clarify that the guidelines have not yet been implemented or enforced by any local authority.

The review of these guidelines will be carried out by the State Government in consultation with religious associations. A meeting will be arranged in early June. No enforcement action will take place while this review is ongoing.

The State Government is dedicated to resolving this administrative and technical alignment through constructive dialogue, ensuring that Selangor remains a progressive, fair, and inclusive state for all.
