00:00The Government Doctors' Wing of the Malaysian Medical Association has called out the Health
00:06Ministry for being elusive about promised higher on-call allowances for doctors.
00:12In a Facebook post on Monday, the section concerning House Officers, Medical Officers
00:17and Specialists said its doctors have been waiting patiently for their allowances to
00:22be raised, as promised twice last year.
00:25Skomos said it is confusing and irresponsible to announce policies without clear directions
00:30and guidelines that are fair and transparent.
00:33It said a delay in implementation would lead to more doctors leaving government service.
00:39Skomos chairman Dr Timothy Cheng said the second announcement during the 2025 budget
00:45was extremely vague with no details as to how and when the new rates would kick in.
00:50He said, to his knowledge, hospitals have not received any directive on this yet and
00:56budget proposals are normally implemented effective immediately or on January 1 of the
01:01following year, unless specified otherwise.
01:04Pan Yujo, FMT News.
