PETALING JAYA: The announcement by the Public Service Department (PSD) that medicine, dentistry and pharmacy will not be among the fields of study sponsored this year has led to a furious debate on social media.
While some users said there was a profound need for more doctors and dentists in the country, others claimed there was already an “oversupply” of medical students.
Twitter user @RMalanjum_ said Malaysia was already “very lacking” in doctors, complaining that the government “wanted to cut almost everything”.“How many medical graduates are there who could not find jobs?” tweeted @IvarCripple. Meanwhile, Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia president Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh said the new PSD policy would not have a direct impact on private hospitals.
