00:06 of Pitas, Sabah has won the hearts of citizens, garnering 2.6 million views and over 146,000

00:14 likes.

00:20 check of one of her patients in rural Pitas and can be seen struggling to hold onto the

00:25 boat with her uniform dirty by mud.

00:29 The video drew scores of comments sympathetic towards the hardship of those providing health

00:38 critical allowance as doctors and staff nurses.

00:43 Senator Dr A Lingeswaran highlighted the issue of community nurses not receiving the 10%

00:48 critical allowance in the Dewan Nagara on Tuesday.

00:52 He urged the Health Ministry to reconsider this decision and proposed a rural hardship

00:57 allowance for all civil servants working in the interior.

01:01 Nurul Jana Yusof, the president of the Community Nurses Association of Peninsular Malaysia,

01:06 said they have been pleading with the authorities to give them the special allowance as their
