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.

KUALA LUMPUR: The amendments to the Medical Act will hopefully be the much-needed resolution to the conflict and polemic that has arisen with the parallel pathway programme and the recognition of specialists qualification, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad .

“We do not want anyone to question these irregularities in the future. We don’t want the government to continue to be exposed to the real legal risk that stemmed from legitimate expectations whereby graduates who were sent to undergo training for six years through the Hadiah Latihan Persekutuan were denied admission to the NSR upon their return,” he said.

This is despite over 70% of the parallel pathway training being conducted in the Health Ministry’s facilities. The minister upon consulting the MMC can amend the recognised qualifications under the Fourth Schedule.
