JOHOR BARU: A Johor assemblyman is urging the public to step forward and help hospitals here replenish blood supplies that have been running low for months.

Johor Jaya assemblyman Liow Cai Tung said among the reasons for the low blood supply in hospitals here was because of the cancellation of blood donation campaigns in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
