PETALING JAYA: Health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad says he is concerned about the declining interest in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics stream and its impact on the supply of medical students. Dzulkefly today said that despite more than 14,000 students securing straight A’s at the 2024 SPM examination, there has been a noticeable decline in interest in the science stream.

“I hope that we can reignite interest among these 14,000 students. This is crucial to ensure that the health ministry’s human resource challenges are effectively addressed,” he said in Kota Bharu.
