00:00In February, the ministry announced that there will be an announcement from the government
00:05on the increase of on-call allowance for public health care doctors. Is there any update on this?
00:10Yes, I've already told you before. I've already made it. Saya telah menyampaikan kepada Kabinet
00:20dan kita telah juga mendapat positive response daripada Kabinet dan para pengabilan uteri.
00:28Tadi kita nantikan soalannya berapa jumlahnya. But definitely, kita telah mendapat positive
00:33response daripada Menteri Kewangan. So, good news, kita menantikan on-call punya increase.
00:41So, still waiting?
00:43Amount. Decision already been made. Yes, the answer is yes. Kalau amount itu kena tunggulah
00:50masa bajet. Barulah ada suspense.
00:54MMA is calling for a health service commission which is separate from the public services
00:59department. Is that happening soon?
01:01Yes, I've told you. Apa yang dikatakan sebagai Suranjaya Perkhidmatan Kesihatan, the commission
01:09for health services has been even in our manifesto. Jadi, hal itu memang telah kita angkat. Kita
01:18menantikan. As and when the cabinet luluskan, kita akan angkat dan kita akan jayakan. You
01:23know very well that I've made so many reforms, I've got so many RUUs. Kita akan buat, kita
01:28akan lakukan according to our kind of planning. And you know also that this is not the first
01:33time I'm answering this question on commission atop Suranjaya Perkhidmatan Kesihatan. Saya
01:38katakan sekali lagi, we are the cabinet, we as members of the cabinet. Kita sangat committed
01:46dan sejurus kita dapatkan komitmen itu, daripada kita akan angkat. Then MMA can keep reminding
