Serdang Heart Centre: RM546 Million Facility Facing Critical Failures?.
The Serdang Heart Centre, inaugurated in December 2022 with a budget of RM546 million, was hailed as a beacon of hope for Malaysian heart patients. Promising world-class treatment and reduced reliance on the National Heart Institute (IJN), it seemed poised to revolutionize cardiac care.
However, just 18 months later, problems have surfaced, raising concerns about the operational capacity of this state-of-the-art facility.
A Series of Failures
During a parliamentary debate on Budget 2025, Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin questioned the Ministry of Health (MOH) about the centre’s performance. Yeo highlighted a startling report from May 2024 revealing that all four operation theatres were rendered unusable due to technical and electrical issues. By June 2024, the MOH claimed three of the theatres were back in operation, yet by July, one was closed again for three weeks.
