Malaysia’s cocktail scene enjoyed one of its best ever showings on the list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2022 this evening, with one bar in the Top 10, and two others in the Top 50.
PETALING JAYA: Expressing concern over the legality of the parallel pathway programme , a group of 10 academics, NGOs and medical practitioners has called for the proposed amendment to the Medical Act 1971 to be postponed.
"The government should strengthen the expertise of programmes from local universities rather than granting leniency to foreign qualifications not recognised in their home country," they said. The group also requested that the PSSC on Health, chaired by Pulai MP Suhaizan Kaiat, inform Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and MPs about the existence of the Independent Committee Report for the Review of Medical Specialist Training Programmes 2023, chaired by Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan.
The group also said the amendments proposed by the ministry are dangerous to the safety of the people because there is no legal oversight of PPPs on how a specialist is trained and the programme is recognised, adding that the basis of regulation must be from an independent body. As part of its recommendations, the group said all international qualifications must comply with Malaysian laws, just like local specialist training programmes provided by local universities.
"A person cannot be appointed as a medical specialist in the government if their qualifications are not listed in the MQR.
