#KiniNews: Tiong ready to face backlash to keep Health DG accountable
Bintulu MP Tiong King Sing has doubled down on his criticism of Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, stating that he didn't care about the backlash if it meant keeping the DG accountable.
Tiong, who is the PDP president, had on Wednesday accused Noor Hisham of being "afraid to die" for not visiting Sabah at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in the state.
However, Tiong maintained that his criticism is justified. He gave the example of instances where medical workers in Sarawak had to improvise due to a lack of personal protective equipment.
