Pakatan Harapan (PH) National Women chief for Sarawak Affairs and political secretary to Teo, Voon Shiak Ni, clarified that the coalition had no intention to do such a thing and considered the Facebook posting as fake news.

“We do not have any intention to change the religion status on our MyKad and legal documentation.

“This is a multiracial, multi-religious country and we promote the highest order of mutual respect for religious practices among all Malaysians, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution,” she said at a press conference here today.

She appealed to netizens on Facebook not to forward the posting any more as it was baseless and not from Teo’s official Facebook account.

Voon said the public could get relevant information from Teo’s official Facebook at PKR Parlimen Miri P.219 to get the latest update on his political activities.

Meanwhile, Teo, who was also present, said improving the health services and infrastructure in Miri would be his immediate task after he visited the Miri Polyclinic this morning.

He said the three urgent issues that needed to be resolved at the Miri Polyclinic were sufficient car parks, medical supply distribution and medical facilities.

“I will put forth the request to the health minister for funding,” he said adding that he had requested the management of Miri Polyclinic to submit a report so that additional funding could be requested from the federal government.

“The current car parks for Miri Polyclinic are insufficient and motorists have faced difficulties for the past 20 years.

“The PH federal government will work with either the state government or private land owners to convert land into car parks, befitting the largest outpatient polyclinic in Miri,” he said.

In addition, he said the medical supply distribution to patients was cut from three months to one month by the previous government.

This arrangement had worsened the congestion at the Miri Polyclinic because patients needed to come back every month to get their supply of medicine.
