Isu mengenai Hospital Shah Alam masih belum selesai. Diharapkan isu ini dapat diselesaikan secepat mungkin demi kesejahteraan rakyat.
Soalan MP DAP Petaling Jaya Utara
Soalan asal No. 2. Tuan Tony Pua Kiam Wee [ Petaling Jaya Utara ] minta MENTERI KERJA RAYA menyatakan :-
(a) kedudukan projek Hospital Shah Alam yang tidak dapat disiapkan dalam masa yang ditentukan atas sebab subkontraktor yang tidak dibayar selama 3 bulan; dan
(b) sebab kontraktor utama Sunshine Fleet tidak dibatalkan kontrak mereka atas masalah kewangan dan amalan pengkontrakan “Ali-Baba”.
Soalan Tambahan MP DAP Kepong
Keistemewaan Hospital Shah Alam adalah direkabentuk sebagai hospital hijau yang pertama di Malaysia. Green Building Rating Tool yang digunakan adalah LEED. Pada masa itu, GBI masih belum diwujudkan lagi. GBI pula lebih sesuai untuk bangunan kegunaan pejabat (office).
Green Hospital semakin diterima ramai. KPJ contohnya telah mewajibkan hospitalnya menghadkan BEI kepada 300 kWh/m2/year. (BEI adalah unit penanda aras penggunaan tenaga bagi setahun untuk setiap m2)
What does it mean to for a hospital to be “Green?” It means a hospital is trying to be environmentally friendly and proactive about leaving a smaller carbon footprint on the planet. It means they are more efficient with energy by utilizing green technology, such as smart efficient heating and cooling systems, high-efficiency glass, solar panels, LED lights, digital thermostats, low-flow faucets, automatic on/off light switches, recycled products and material to name a few. Also, hospitals are focusing their attention on new ways to be more inventive with waste management and recycling. What kind of impact does a green hospital have on its patients? Green health care design does promote a more healing environment through more natural daylight, outdoor views, landscaping, improved ventilation, better indoor air quality, efficient lighting, low-impact materials and furnishings, and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Why now? Many health care organizations are starting to really understand the long term financial impact of going green. Besides the numerous environmental and health benefits, the combination of affordable new green products, green grants and tax credits, and potential for huge financial savings are really driving this change.
Hospitals can spend millions of dollars monthly just for energy. Why wouldn’t a hospital want to save millions by being more efficient? Hospitals are analyzing up-front costs of green technology and are determining that is will usually balance out against long-term savings. Going green may save millions of dollars over the years. Also, the competition for attracting patients plays a big role too. Many patients are looking for clean, efficient, and up to date rooms while recovering from illness. Being green gives the public an enhanced perception that a health care provider is environmental sensitive and cares about the community.
