KUCHING, July 4 — Sarawak must have autonomy to decide on health matters related to the state rather than letting Kuala Lumpur make all the final decisions, said Deputy Premier Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian.

Dr Sim, who is also public health, housing and local government minister, made these remarks when officiating at the handing over of equipment from the Japanese Embassy in Malaysia to the Sarawak Family Planning Association . In his opening speech, SFPA medical chairman Dr Philip Kho said additional funding of more than RM560,000 would be incurred without contraceptives donated by IPPF for Sarawak.

“So, we would need to seek the help of YB Dr Prof Sim to help us again with the import licence. If the import licence is not approved, the IPPF commodities would be channelled to its other member associations globally and not come to Malaysia,” he pointed out.
