Following a recent helicopter crash in Long Lellang, Sarawak, the Joint Council of Presidents and Secretaries-General of the Health Ministry Workers Union (Mapsu) is demanding increased safety measures. Mapsu has formally requested the Health Ministry to bolster safety standards for all transport modes—air, sea, and river—employed in delivering healthcare services. The call for action comes in the wake of the incident in Long Lellang, highlighting vulnerabilities in current systems. The union emphasizes the critical need to ensure the well-being of healthcare personnel and patients relying on these transportation methods. Improved oversight and adherence to stricter protocols are seen as essential to prevent future tragedies. Mapsu believes a comprehensive review of transportation safety within the ministry is now necessary. This incident underscores the challenges of providing healthcare to remote areas of Malaysia like Sarawak.
