If you apply to Ministry, the same rule that applies to everyone(as above) applies to you.
You don’t need to do Housemanship but no guarantee you will be posted where you want to.

Thnak u for your insightful knowledge. I need guidance.
I graduated from Ireland and worked there for 4.5years. I have completed the MRCPuk n am now working in Australia.
Due to personal circumstances i am planning a move back. What should I do? What r my chances of getting a cardiology subspeciality? I really want that and nothing else as I was doing angiograms before. Is it bleak? Are there a lot of bias against overseas graduates? Will I still be posted to rural areas? Work crazy housemen hours?

I am at a crossroads now. You replies would be most appreciated. Thanks so much

Now, the subspeciality selection process comes directly under MOH, headed by DG and KSU. ONly offer letter signed by DG and KSU is considered official.

there are doctors not even get gazettement let behold finished a year or two of post gazettement service already submit the subspecialty applications form.
and these are the people that will be taken in
just nice smoochy and sweet talk will get you a long way

Will preference be given to local graduates (vs overseas trained graduates) on entry to Master’s ? So does it means someone must be medical employed here in Malaysia for at least 3 years and above (due to the 85% SKT) ?

Paediatricians are still needed in this country. Either MRCP or Master’s will do. There is no shorter way to become a dermatologist. It is a subspecialty of internal medicine.
