Access to HKL riddled with challenges

KUALA LUMPUR: Access to the Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), the nation’s oldest hospital, has been challenging ever since it embarked on an extensive renovation programme that involved taking away many parking spots, resulting in patients and visitors having to park more than 1km away, while pedestrians saw their walkway removed.

The problem is compounded by the fact that the shuttle bus service that is meant to bridge the distance is unreliable, claim members of the public.
