Wong stressed that a heart centre in central region can provide early treatment to the patients.
He urged the two members of parliament in Sibu, namely Lanang MP Alice Lau and Sibu MP Oscar Ling, to play their part so that the establishment of the center can be realised immediately.
“I also hope that Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, my president (SUPP), will help me and all the people of Sibu to get a heart centre,” he said.
Meanwhile, the SUPP Dudong branch open house was held in a lively atmosphere with the presence of thousands of people from various ethnic and religious backgrounds.
