Pembangkang cadang Hospital Putrajaya dinamakan Hospital Dr Hasmah
Ketua Pembangkang Hamzah Zainudin berkata PN akan merealisasikan cadangan itu jika diberi mandat memerintah negara.
Putrajaya's proposed new hospital is to be named Hospital Dr Hasmah, in recognition of her contributions to public health. The Perikatan Nasional (PN) party's chief, Hamzah Zainudin, stated that the party would implement this proposal if given the mandate to govern the nation. "We can propose it. If the government does not do it, we will do it next time," he said while discussing the 2027 Budget in the Dewan Rakyat.
He backed Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (PN-Masjid Tanah) for the hospital to be named after the late former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's wife, Hasmah, who passed away at the age of 100 at the National Heart Institute on September 28th last year and was buried at the State Complex, Presint 20, Putrajaya. During the discussion, Hamzah also urged the Hajj Fund Institution (TH) to re-evaluate the minimum saving requirement of RM15,000 for depositors wishing to qualify for the list of those eligible to perform Hajj.
He argued that this requirement could burden rural residents who save little by little, while also causing concern for those who have already withdrawn from the list. Hamzah also questioned the effectiveness of the government's efforts to assist TH in its dealings with Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd (UJSB). He stated that the opposition would continue to play a role as a check and balance to ensure that government actions are carried out fairly without favoring any particular party.
