PETALING JAYA: There is no place for ethnic-based policies in the matter of contract officers or any other policies in the Ministry of Health (MOH), three health organisations said today.
The Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM), Persatuan Kesihatan IKRAM Malaysia (IKRAM Health) and Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety and Health (MSOSH) in a joint press statement said they were alarmed and concerned by a proposal to give preference to bumiputra graduates in MOH’s recruitment process.
“The suggestion by few associations in the press statement smacks of racist nuances, preferring bumiputra doctors above their colleagues in solving the problem plaguing Contract Doctors,” they said today.
