KUCHING: Kota Sentosa State Assemblyman Wilfred Yap has stepped in to support the Dental Unit at Klinik Kesihatan Kota Sentosa by contributing a new Berjaya wall-mounted water boiler, following a request for assistance.
The unit, with a 21-litre capacity and equipped with auto-refill and auto temperature control, replaces a malfunctioning boiler that had caused delays in denture production. The breakdown had forced staff to boil water manually using kettles, which slowed down the process and affected hygiene standards.
Yap delivered the equipment to the clinic and the new boiler has restored the dental team’s ability to carry out tasks such as cleaning and wax processing efficiently.
“I was informed that patients needing dentures were affected due to faulty equipment. As their elected representative, I see it as my responsibility to help ensure essential health services continue without disruption,” he said.
Yap said he remains committed to supporting local healthcare providers and addressing community needs, no matter how small, to improve public service delivery in Kota Sentosa.
