Jeffrey Ngui, Chairman of Muda Sarawak
*Desperate Cry: Interior Infant's Tragic Death Exposes Neglect in Wealthy Sarawak*
Muda Sarawak has consistently been in contact with the Penan Baram community. Recently, he received a distress call reporting the tragic death of a 7-month-old baby en route to Miri Hospital via helicopter. As the baby did not pass away at the hospital, the family had to return to the interior clinic to obtain a death certificate. However, they couldn't afford the transportation cost, and the process of handling the death certificate was complicated due to the baby's mother lacking a Malaysian identity card.
Jeffrey mentioned that this incident involved the Penan community from Long Jekitan. Reportedly, the infant sought medical attention at an interior clinic for a persistent stomachache, but as the clinic lacked specialized doctors, the baby's condition worsened. On January 1st, the clinic arranged for an emergency helicopter transfer to Miri Hospital. Unfortunately, the baby passed away during the journey.
According to Jeffrey, the journey from Long Jekitan to Miri by car takes 8 hours, and due to the critical condition of the baby, the clinic arranged for a helicopter. However, the baby did not survive despite these efforts. Since the death did not occur in the hospital, the institution claimed they couldn't issue a death certificate, necessitating the family to return to the interior clinic. Faced with financial constraints, the family sought assistance from Muda Sarawak.
Jeffrey stated that the deceased baby remained in the hospital's mortuary for three days until the support from NGOs and Miri MP allowed the family to return to the interior clinic and arrange for the baby's burial.
He expressed dissatisfaction, pointing out that despite Sarawak having billions in revenue and funds, the condition of interior roads and healthcare remains poor. Jeffrey emphasized that there might be excuses for the time required to build interior roads due to the terrain, but clinics should have adequate services and facilities with professional doctors. He questioned why, in this age of AI, while the world talks about renewable energy, there are still people in the interior areas lacking education, unaware of their healthcare rights, and facing citizenship issues. He asked, "How many lives must we sacrifice?"
Jeffrey strongly urged the Sarawak government to prioritize human lives, not just enjoy superficial achievements (flagpoles), and ensure equal citizenship rights for people, regardless of whether they are from the city or interior. After decades, it's enough. Help them and save them!
