00:00The government's doctors in the Malaysian Medical Association are disappointed with the Ministry of Health
00:07because they are still avoiding implementing the increase in on-call allowances as promised by the doctor.
00:14In a post on Facebook yesterday, the training staff, medical workers and experts said
00:20the doctors are still waiting patiently for their allowances to be increased as announced twice last year.
00:28The Ministry of Health said it was confusing and irresponsible to announce the basis without clear guidelines,
00:36fair and straightforward.
00:38In addition, the lack of implementation will only cause more doctors to leave government services.
00:44When contacted by the Minister of Health, Dr. Timothy Cheng said
00:49the announcement in the 2025 budget is very hasty, without a clue about how and when the new budget will be enforced.
00:58He said the hospital has not yet received any guidance on this matter
01:03and the budget cut is usually implemented immediately or starts on January 1 next year, unless it is stated otherwise.
