Don’ t get carried away with all this paper qualifications and CV. Do you know how many surgeons I know who have excellent CV on paper BUT cannot do any surgery??

Yes, of course. All private medical schools in Malaysia are owned by cronies. That’s why it is a money making business. That’s why their students are all sponsored by JPA and MARA!! You must know how politics works in Malaysia to understand what I am talking. As for MD UKM, there is still some quality control from UKM but the degree is NOT recognized in Singapore unlike MD UKM from main campus

By the way about the medical programs that they offer,as far as i observe,all of the students is sponsored by MARA,JPA. M.D UKM over there also is not bad as my batch currently studying there in 5th year,they said the workload is still the same as student in md ukm,plus the exam paper is checked by the lecturers in UKM itself. I agree with you that 5 medical programmes in 1 uni is too much,where in the future,whos going to teach them once they do their last 3,4 years in Malaysia? Thank you very much for your time doctor and i really appreciate it

Child abortion is illegal unless it is medically indicated.
What do you mean by “physician assisted suicide” ? The sentence itself is not logical! Are you talking about euthanasia?

No, it offers 5 medical program, 2 of it’s own and 3 more twinning program. It is the first and only university in the world to offer 5 medical programs!! that itself is enough to tell you that something is rotten in the state of denmark!
Now, about the CEO, are you sure he is respectable and has high reputation?? I don’t hear the same. Pls ask people in penang hospital!

The first problem you will face is getting into Masters in Orthopaedic program as it is the most competitive field.
Secondly, since you are a government servant, you will definately get a job in public sector. It is the private sector that is saturated at the moment.

So what do you suggest in terms of their working hours? Perhaps we can come up with something and then present it to the DG. This new chap seems to listen more and he is active in Facebook.

If you finish orthopaedic training you will defnitely get a job in the public system. Private work is market driven so is another story altogether. The bottleneck for you is actually getting on to training. If you are an MO, you already know how difficult this is, so good luck.
