Two icons converge in Netflix's latest crime noir series as one of the South Korea's most widely beloved webtoons gets the live-action treatment with fan-favourite actor So Ji-sub stepping into the lead role.
IN a country where pets are increasingly seen as family and livestock remains vital to the economy, the veterinarian’s role is more crucial than ever.
“Malaysia only has two veterinary schools, compared to 32 medical schools for human medicine – 11 public and 21 private. Yet, the demand for vets keeps growing.“According to international standards, we should have one vet for every 5,000 people, but in Malaysia, we have one for every 14,300 people,” he said.
“Roughly 59% of Malaysians own pets, but we only have around 650 authorised vet clinics in the country. It is also easier for a vet to get a practising licence and start a career overseas,” he said.Alex said securing a seat in local public universities can be highly competitive, due to the limited number of slots available and the high demand from a large pool of applicants.
Shedding more light, Zara Zakiah Education Sdn Bhd marketing manager Annawi Shamsudin said the two universities in Malaysia that offer veterinary programmes are UPM and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan . In contrast, he said, Indonesia presents a much more affordable option, with the total cost averaging around RM150,000 for a full veterinary degree.
“In the final phase, students undergo practical training through internships and field rotations, spending time in real veterinary settings.Beyond academic ability, he stressed that students pursuing veterinary medicine must possess a genuine interest in animals, resilience, and a strong work ethic. He added that for students who are passionate about the medical field but seek a path with less psychological pressure from treating human patients, veterinary medicine offers a fulfilling alternative that lets them apply their love for life sciences and healing in a different yet equally meaningful environment.Upon graduation, Alex said, Malaysian students can expect starting salaries of RM3,500 without their Animal Practicing Licence , and RM4,500 or more once licensed.
