EKLWBB (Oncall allowance)- Why so many Drs are sour about it?
1. Extremely low rate: Rm 9/ H (Regardless weekend/ odds hours)
2. Taxable (I just realised today 😭, technically is < Rm9/H)
3. Subject to complicated term & bureaucracy just to get the “claim”we deserved>>…

This reminds me 3 years ago I was in the dire situation @ one toxic department O&* of southern main hospital (HS*JB). On paper, to work around 70 H/week. On ground, postcall you have unspoken rules to stay back at 8 am to finish the discharge summary (often 11-12 pm)…..
Official working hours is 7AM but we all know we wont be able to habis review 40 patients by 8AM, pastu kena explanation letter kenapa tak review patients. So kena datang earlier, which biasanya 5:30AM. Pastu now lack of manpower, oncall kena stayback sampai spc habis round.

The reason is crystal clear, overseas offer better rumination & most graduates eligible to practice in SG, Aussie, UK, US went to seek for greener pasture. Indeed there is 3000 graduates yearly but don’t translate to the actual number choose to train under KKM.
MMA demands an explanation from MOH on UMMC Medicine Dept’s Zero HO Protocol, asking how housemen shortages can occur when 3,000-5,000 medical grads are produced yearly. UMMC’s planned service cuts are also concerning as UMMC is PJ’s main public hospital.

To me, come on time to work at designated time is already sign of responsibility. Anything earlier than that I must be willing out of my due respect. Show me the example that encourage me showing up earlier. Sorry, guilt tripping don’t works for me nowadays.
Consultant: “There must be some sense of responsibility, MOs have to come early to do round”.
MOs already normalise starting work earlier at 730am.
Next, 7am? 645am?
This is a sign of manpower shortage, right?

Thank you Dr for speaking up for the junior doctors. Rather than those who trashes the juniors for speaking up for their rights ie, basic living allowances that promised but never get.
Junior doctors especially houseman and junior MOs plays an important part in daily clinical work.
I am strict with them but that is because I meant well.
Its saddening when a so-called consultant decided not to side with them

With these minimum wages from the 1990s, doctors are the “Professional Contract based Cheap Labor” in Malaysia. Even the professional cleaning/ aircon/ plumber services charges Rm 30-50/ hours for their expertise. Welp, Rm 10-14 HAHAHA. “Finest Morden day slavery”
🥲 RM9.20/perhour I pay my weekly help to do house chores RM100 for 3 hours (RM33.3/hour) it’s time to raise our mininum wage. The least KKM/gov can do is to improve my fellow colleagues who’s under contract.
