Sabah ruling coalition partner Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has crossed swords with its former coalition partner Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp) over the controversial issue of the proposed new private hospital through the conversion of Wisma Khidmat in Kota Kinabalu.

Responding to Sapp's hostile reaction to the proposal by the Sabah government, PBS supreme council member John Masabal said Sapp is in fact adopting 'a stand denying Sabahans the benefit of better healthcare services' which is unforgivable.
