Tawau: Sebatik Assemblyman Abdul Muis Picho proposed the setting up of a clinic at Pulau Sebatik to cater to the island's more than 4,000 inhabitants. The island is shared with Indonesia. He said a two-hectare site in Kg Bergosong Besar has been identified for the clinic, with beds, a permanent doctor and emergency ward.
"I visited the site with a Tawau Health Department officer and motion for the department to apply for the lot with the Land and Survey Department.
We hope this endeavour would succeed as we wish to see improved health facilities for the island's 4,500 inhabitants," he said.
Abdul Muis said he had raised the matter with Deputy Health Minister (Datuk Rosnah) during her visit to Tawau and was given to understand the Government needed a suitable site for the purpose.
On a separate development, Abdul Muis said youths at Kampung Bergosong Besar could now enjoy the new RM150,000 futsal court in their village. It was the third futsal court on the island.
