SIBU: The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Dudong and Sibu Jaya have voiced strong opposition to the Health Ministry's recent decision to withdraw allowances for medical personnel in Sabah and Sarawak, warning it could jeopardise healthcare services in the region.
In a joint statement on Sunday (Dec 28), the party emphasised the unique challenges faced by healthcare workers, such as geographical isolation and higher living costs, particularly for those from Peninsular Malaysia. They described the allowances as essential compensation necessary for retaining staff in these underserved areas.
