Explaining the significance of the UTAR Hospital, Tun Ling said, “I am very
happy to see the lively crowd today. On behalf of UTAR Hospital, I would
like to thank all of you. The hospital will be a major hospital and a
teaching hospital. This hospital will need 500 beds because it will be a
large hospital and it will need to have sufficient beds to be a good
teaching hospital. If there are lesser beds, we could only treat a limited
number of patients. We also need good hospital features to attract more
patients. As a result, the students will have better opportunity to learn
the treatment of various diseases and illness.”
Tun Ling hopes that the public will give their support and witness the hospital flourish
