PH promises to bring back B40 healthcare programme

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan will reintroduce a healthcare programme, Kad Peduli Sihat for the B40 if it is back in the driver’s seat after the Nov 20 Melaka elections, former chief minister Adly Zahari has promised.

The Amanah vice-president was named Melaka chief minister in May 2018 when PH won a simple majority in Melaka after the general election.

However, defections by four assemblymen saw his administration collapse in March 2020, just days after PH was toppled at the federal level. He was replaced by Sulaiman Md Ali of Umno. With the collapse of the PH administration, the programme was shelved.

“Previously, we approved the Kad Peduli Sihat programme, where we wanted to set aside a budget for the rakyat to get better treatment and medical services.

“We are confident that with a new mandate, we can continue with the Kad Peduli Sihat programme, especially as we are now facing Covid-19.”
