The Seberang Jaya Hospital (HSJ) upgrading project is expected to be completed by the end of this year, says Penang Youth, Sports and Health Committee chairman Daniel Gooi Zi Sen.

According to Gooi, he is hopeful that the upgrading project will progress smoothly and be completed on schedule because of the steadfast commitment of the Federal government.

“It is important to address the congestion problem at the Seberang Jaya Hospital that has been going on for quite some time.

“The state government is committed to ensuring that such projects will be a success in delivering better healthcare services to the public.

“On behalf of the Penang government, I also would like to express our sincere gratitude to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for the announcement and approval of RM1 million in support of the hospital,” Gooi told Buletin Mutiara when contacted today.

The Seberang Jaya Hospital upgrading project, which began in 2016, cost around RM500 million. It is to enhance bed facilities, the intensive care unit, and parking spaces.

Previously, Anwar also announced an RM1 million allocation for the purchase of ventilator machines, water tanks, ultrasound equipment, and a lactation room at the hospital.

Ilyas Che Wi, who works as a Public Works Department (JKR) technician, expressed the hope that when the upgrading project is completed, it will reduce the overcrowding issue at the hospital.

“I was told that the upgrading project involves the construction of a new multi-storey building with modern facilities, and some of the existing hospital services will be relocated there.

“This is good news to reduce long queues at the hospital,” he said.

Nur Muhammad Aliff Shariff, 31, a software engineer, commends the Federal Government for allocating the necessary funds for the hospital upgrading project.

“I also hope that upon completion, there will be an adequate number of parking lots for vehicles. This would make it easier for patients to access the hospital for treatment. Previously, we had to park our vehicles outside and walk a considerable distance to reach the hospital, he said.

‘Cherry blossoms’ in bloom in Penang

Property News/ 12 March 2024 No comments

Tecoma trees

It’s “Sakura” season again in Penang. The Tecoma, fondly called Penang Sakura because of its similarities to the popular cherry blossom, is proving to be a big hit this year.

In Penang, nearly 10,000 such trees have been planted, including 3,000 in the Seberang Perai district, and the flowers are now creating a carpet of colours on the ground, adding to the aesthetic effect.

Casey Yap, 43, was pictured taking in the beauty of the blooms in Sungai Ara on the island.

“I live in this area and go for walks at a park near the Tecoma trees.

“It is usually in season around February or March, and right now it is blooming,” said the engineer.

Yap said he noticed many people coming around to take photos, but there were actually many areas in the state where the Tecoma created a similar effect.

“Even I walk over sometimes to take photos as it is quite a pretty sight,” he said.

The Tecoma trees could also be spotted in Batu Ferringhi, Sungai Ara, Bayan Baru and Relau, as well as on the grounds of Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Meanwhile, a canal near the Darul Aman Stadium in Kedah has become a picturesque scene too as the flowers form a carpet-like pink layer on the water.

Other locations with the pink flowers in full bloom include Jalan Titi Gajah-Alor Setar, Lebuhraya Darul Aman, Jalan Gangsa, Jalan Kuala Kedah, Jalan Langgar, Jalan Lencong Barat and Jalan Yan.

The flowering of the Tecoma was likely triggered by the rain which came after a period of dry and hot weather.

The Tecoma has a short flowering season usually between February and April.
