Pedestrians are twice as likely to be hit by an electric or hybrid car than by a vehicle that runs on gasoline or diesel, according to a study released Tuesday by researchers in London.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Medical Association says it is deeply concerned over the distribution of manpower in public healthcare facilities.

"We urge the Health Ministry to conduct a comprehensive study with transparent publication of results of the public healthcare manpower and workload to tackle the issue," said MMA president Dr Azizan Abdul Aziz in a statement on Monday . "We believe one of the main reasons for this lack of manpower is brain drain, as there is a sudden increase of doctors resigning and not accepting permanent posts.

"To handle this issue effectively, MMA proposes real time data to know the extent of the shortage, better remuneration by raising civil servant salaries to be competitive with the private sector, better retention plans and repair of broken facilities, with equal money spent in both rural and urban areas.
