KUCHING (June 21): An allocation of RM200,000 under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) 2026 grant has been disbursed for further upgrading works on Kota Sentosa Hospital.
This was announced by Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap at a recent ceremony held to mark the completion of an earlier RTP project worth RM400,000 at the hospital.
'This project may seem modest in scale, but its impact has been truly significant, addressing two critical needs of the hospital that have long required urgent attention,' he said.
The completed project involved the construction of 40 new carpark spots complete with earthworks, bitumen-surfacing, carpark line painting, and drainage works, resolving a long-standing parking shortage for staff and visitors.
Additionally, the occupational therapy and rehabilitation hall was comprehensively upgraded with full electrical rewiring, 11 new split-unit air-conditioners, new windows, a renovated stage and backdrop, a brick wall partition for an office and counselling room, and repainting throughout the facility.
'These improvements have created a more conducive, safe, and comfortable environment for both staff and patients,' added Yap.
The assemblyman also expressed appreciation to the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), the implementing agency, for completing the project on time and in accordance with the set specifications.
'As the elected representative for Kota Sentosa, I remain deeply committed to fighting for more funding to ensure that our public health facilities are not left behind,' he said.
Yap stressed that another RM200,000 would be channelled under RTP 2026 for additional urgent works on the hospital. Kota Sentosa Hospital lead RTP upgrade Wilfred Yap

Dr Wee: UM medical tuition hike a barrier for qualified B40 students
KUALA LUMPUR: Universiti Malaya's medical tuition fees, which have gone up for the 2025/2026 intake, have come under fire by student unions and MCA. 'The sharp hike risks shutting out academically qualified but poor B40 students from pursuing degrees in medicine and other critical fields,' said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. 'Are we now saying that children from less privileged backgrounds do not deserve to become doctors or pursue critical fields? Is the medical profession now reserved exclusively for the wealthy?' he asked during a press conference yesterday. Tuition fees for the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme have increased to RM500,000 for the 2025/2026 intake. This marks a jump from RM299,200 in the 2024/2025 session. These numbers were provided in a video from three months ago by Universiti Malaya Student Union (UMSU) student representative Lee Yu Dong, who is also an activist with the University Malaya Association of New Youth. Lee said that the high costs could lead to inequality in access to professional degrees. In another TikTok video posted around the same time, Jelyn Ong, who is a UMSU medical faculty student representative, said that access to public medical education is being shaped by one's ability to pay instead of academic performance. Speaking up: Dr Wee (seated, second from right) urging the government to uphold education rights for B40 children at a press conference. Also present were Chong (seated, second from left), Wong (right), and Leong (left). — LOW BOON TAT/The Star Dr Wee said yesterday that MCA was concerned about recent developments in Malaysia's higher education landscape, especially policies that appear to marginalise children from low-income families. 'It is disheartening that public universities are being seen as increasingly selective towards students from high-income families. This raises questions about the fairness of the meritocracy we claim to uphold,' he said. He also took issue with UM's admission channel known as Saluran Terbuka Universiti Malaya (Satu). According to him, students who secured a place via UPU – the centralised government admission platform – are charged only RM15,000 for the same five-year programme. The Satu channel is an alternative pathway for students to apply directly to UM, bypassing the primary UPU system used by Malaysia's public universities. It caters to students who missed the UPU deadline, were not offered a place or wished to apply with alternative qualifications like A-Levels or diplomas. The criteria for enrolment in degree programmes differ between UPU and Satu channels. For UPU, applicants need a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.00-3.80, with a higher threshold of 3.80 for competitive courses like MBBS. Accepted qualifications include Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Matriculation, Asasi UM, or equivalent such as A-Levels with AAA grades or IB with 36 points. Additionally, candidates must meet specific subject requirements, such as an A- in Biology, Chemistry and Physics/Mathematics for MBBS. Satu maintains similar academic standards but offers flexibility for non-current-year qualifications. For Malaysians applying to MBBS through Satu, a CGPA of 3.80 is required. Referring to UM's annual reports, Dr Wee pointed out that enrolment through Satu had risen from just 142 in 2018 to 399 in 2022. Citing data from the Higher Education Ministry, he said that nearly 60% of applicants to public universities in 2022 came from B40 households. 'What kind of message are we sending to this majority? That unless you can pay half a million ringgit, you have no future in medicine?' he asked. He warned that academic performance alone may no longer guarantee a place at public universities if wealth becomes the new gatekeeper. Also present at yesterday's press conference were MCA secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon, Wanita MCA chairperson Datuk Wong You Fong, and committee member Datuk Leong Kok Wee.

KUCHING (June 27): Hope Place Kuching is providing basic food aid to a middle-aged couple in Moyan, Batu Kawa, where the husband is battling stage 4 colon cancer. According to the non-governmental organisation (NGO), 55-year-old Tan You Sik was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2021 and had undergone radiotherapy. He is currently receiving chemotherapy treatment. Hope Place said Tan and his wife, Esan Suli, 54, live without children and face mounting challenges due to his deteriorating health. 'Esan tries to earn a living by selling homemade peanut and anchovies snacks. Tan reveals that he is still working,' said Hope Place in a statement yesterday. Tan, who continues to do electrical wiring and driving jobs, often experiences physical pain following each chemotherapy session. 'I don't have any choice. If I still have energy left, I'll continue to work,' he told Hope Place, adding that he relies on a high dosage of morphine to manage the pain. The couple receives RM200 in monthly aid from the Sarawak Social Welfare Department, while church members help contribute towards their rent.

Kota Sentosa dental unit gets new boiler, returns to full functionality
Yap (second right) is seen when inspecting the newly-installed boiler. KUCHING (June 25): The Kota Sentosa Health Clinic Dental Unit received a new wall-mounted water boiler yesterday. The dental team at the clinic had informed Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap that the previous water boiler had malfunctioned, causing significant inconvenience and delays, particularly in the making of dentures for patients. 'I was informed that patients requiring dentures were being affected due to the faulty equipment. 'As their elected representative, it is my duty to assist where and when I can to ensure essential healthcare services continue smoothly,' said Yap, who is Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Kota Sentosa chairman. The absence of a functioning boiler had forced staff to resort to boiling water using kettles – an inefficient and time-consuming workaround that affected the speed and hygiene of the denture fabrication process. The new boiler ensures that the dental unit can now return to full functionality, with a reliable and continuous supply of hot water critical for cleaning, wax processing, and other denture-making procedures. Yap (third left) hands over the letter for the Seventh Mile Community Association Hall car park upgrade. Separately today, Yap visited the site of the Seventh Mile Community Association Hall for the official handover of the Letter of Award to the contractor for resurfacing works at the hall's car park. The RM30,000 project, funded under Yap's Rural Transformation Project (RTP) allocation, will be implemented by Padawan Municipal Council (MPP). 'The resurfaced parking area will greatly improve accessibility and convenience for family members and visitors who gather to pay their final respects to departed loved ones,' said Yap. 'Many residents rely on the hall for such solemn occasions, particularly when their own homes are not suitable for religious or customary rites.'
