Ex KKM doctor here. I left the system close to the 5 year mark. Many quit due to the toxic working environment. I for one have seen a junior colleague of mine who tried to kill himself as a result of being bullied. We used to hear bullying stories every other week. Sexual harassment, being verbally abused etc it was a mess! To top things off, there are superiors who identify and acknowledge this but refuse to change the system. Many doctors get into road traffic accidents due to burnout. Working 36 hours non stop is inhumane, imagine doing that twice a week! I have known 2 doctors who have passed due to accidents when travelling back from on call. One of them left a kid and a pregnant wife behind! The healthcare system COLLAPSED when COVID hit. Many strategies implemented now are temporising measures (also read: till the news cools off in the eye of the public). Countless number of doctors are leaving behind the public sector. I am starting to see my nursing/MA friends leave to other countries and I can’t be any happier for them. What saddens me is the population that depend on the public healthcare system are generally from a poorer socioeconomic background. They mostly do not speak up about issues faced. This is how the government gets away with it. Those who are financially well to do will depend on the private sector and the VVIPs will mostly get first class treatment when they come in. The people are paying the price for the collapse of the healthcare system, unknowingly.

[@kucingcomel69]

As a medical officer in a public hospital, I can tell you that you are WRONG. The RM80/hour is not for oncall rates but rather a special rates with limited slots for extended hours in Klinik Kesihatan or the Emergency department. The other departments in the hospital is still RM 200 from 5pm till 8am for weekdays RM 220 from 8am till 8am for weekends which is around RM 9 per hour You can work as a part timer at any store and earn more than a DOCTOR. My colleague are leaving KKM left, right and center. Around 3 - 4 MOs quit every week in a tertiary center at a hospital I worked in. This is how our MOH treats our doctors, it will inevitably collapse.

[@hdufhbnjgr5491]

[@ranjinirajainfilm]

KKM doctor in the midst of my master's journey here. I kindly ask for your understanding when a government doctor suggests seeking private services or mentions something similar. The reality is that many doctors are genuinely sacrificing their mental and physical health to manage the current load. Since the relevant authorities haven't provided adequate solutions, we must develop our own strategies to cope. Please be prepared with a medical card as well. I hope the public will support us in urging politicians to prioritize education and health in their policies. Remember, we, the rakyat, rely on local hospitals, unlike some politicians who seek treatment abroad.

Awesome content with lots of truth and facts stated here! The uncertainty in career progression and the indifferent attitude of MoH towards contract doctors are what drive them away from government service! Praised us as national heroes during covid era and even promised permanent positions for us. All sweet words and empty promises as always. Most of them who left are passionate in serving the people but sadly the government dismissed them like disposables. There are even lesser vacancies now for house officers, this means that the work burden is even higher for those in service. My respect to those who are still in service, pray that good changes are coming sooner than later.

[@chewyeying5687]

Thankyou mr Money for highlighting this. I am a MO in gov secondary hospital, and we are struggling though the days and oncall with lack of manpower from bottom to top. Whole team struggling to breath in the hectic schedule. MO need to cover HO job also which is not feasible at all . System collapsing already unless proper measure that can solve the root cause problems implemented. Graduated medical student no more aiming to train in Malaysia but overseas, Mo, specialist and subspecialist leaving for better pay position in private and even over seas. Policymakers should look into this matter propmtly or else more doctors leaving .

[@limtsejing]

Firstly , the oncall rate has not been increased to Rm 80 an hour , that is only for locum which has very limited slots. (which has been Rm 80 for some time now )The compulsory oncall still stays at roughly Rm9 an hour , efforts has been made by MMA and other organisation to increase it but it was shut down by the government Second issue with the contract , as doctor in the government before the contract system , houseofficer starts of as UD 41 for 2 years and subsequently move on the UD 44 for 3 years and they move on to UD 48 with significant pay rise. But for the contract system , it stays at UD43 indefinitely without the basic salary increment for the grade and even if they are offered permanent posts they would need to work FOR ANOTHER 3 years from the date as a permanent staff to become UD 48 REGARDLESS of the years in service prior to that hence there is a large pay difference between permanent staff and contract staff even though they might be in service for the same amount of time doing the exact same job

[@darrenliewjiaquan]

one thing for sure is due to our increasing inflation and diminishing MYR to USD rate, drug prices all hike like nobody business, our country healthcare had not enough money for certain drugs. For example, currently there is insulin shortage in whole government. We are forced to reserve insulin to those whom in need. FYI insulin is around rm150 per pen. Usually last for a month. This doesnt look good when our country is one of the top diabetic patients in south east asia.

There is no increase in on call. It is still the same price. Medical officer RM200 for weekday 5pm to 8am, and RM220 for weekend 8am to 8pm. Simple math tells you this is RM10/hour. The so called “increase” mentioned is for locum. Very few slots, for certain department only. This rate has always been there at same rate. So to say there is an increase in rate if on call is not true.

[@wayeyounglau3036]

The on call allowance has not increased to RM 80 /hr as mentioned in your video. It is for the limited locum (part-time) slots in the emergency department & health clinics.

RM200 or 220 per day not RM80/hr (even private dont pay that). Medical service has snow ball effect, good doctors train good generation of doctors. Like it or not, medicine is like army, the training curve is very step and it is not a cup of tea for everyone. Multiple complaints from junior doctors in early 2010’s that hit the news made many senior doctors not motivated to teach (afraid also being blamed to be bully). No teaching leads to poor training. Compounded with oversupply. I remember the supply was so much that some wards had more doctors than patients in some hospital (circa 2005-2010). Also sad for doctors, in 2020, were called First liner, Hero etc. Pandemic over, everything forgotten. With limited money, one of things can be done is shaving off unnecessary staff from other governmental institutions to balance more staff for medical.

The next day, I got this naggy feeling that I should get a 2nd opnion. I went to Pantai hospital, and the Orthopedic doctor told me "You have multiple bone fracture". The doctor used the same Xray from the day before and said even the xray showed it. So bascially that doctor in JB looked at the xray and didn't know how to read and diagnose it.

Millennial here. I noticed government doctor working condition when I was a little kid when I was admitted to the government hospital. My ambition at the time is to become eye specialist doctor but knowing the doctor working condition, I change my mind to become other than doctor. Fast forward, I'm an FPGA engineer now in a MNC and has working hour flexibility + WFH. Paid handsomely too. I hope that our health care system improves. I just saw one of my friend got an offer letter for permanent position in government hospital. I guess only time will tell.

[@kaizen9860]

Being a medical therapist is also worst. You have bachelor degree for ages, but still hold a diploma position. Those with master and phd are more useless.

Mr Money TV please try looking into Architects in Malaysia, and other players of construction industry. You'll find doctor is good enough. At least doctor's 2.9k starting pay is wayyy better than jr architect's 2.1k, in penang.

[@ZYL-x1o]

Good enough? Do you want to check the working hours of a government doctor vs architect? just last week i was working 80+hrs/week plus after work compulsory CME /presentations to prepare. We get two weekends off a month compared with architects? plus public holidays you have to work if youre oncall. Compare the amount of money spent to study medicine vs architecture? The amount of litigation/responsibility in the workplace? scaling in salary for junior doctors? My friend who is an architect the same age as me is earning 2k+ more than me in Penang?

[@justmd90swy96]

Oncall claim is only rm9.16 per hour not rm80 per hour!!

[@SohaiKia]

ya because the policy makers cannot make it

[@kucingcomel69]

You need to do a FACT CHECK. RM 80/hour is NOT for ONCALL rates, ONCALL RATES is RM9/HOUR. As a medical officer in a public hospital, I can tell you that you are WRONG. The RM80/hour is NOT for oncall rates but rather a special rates with limited slots for extended hours in Klinik Kesihatan or the Emergency department. The oncall rates for all other departments in the hospital is still RM 200 from 5pm till 8am for weekdays RM 220 from 8am till 8am for weekends which is around RM 9 PER HOUR You can work as a part timer at any store and earn more than a DOCTOR.

[@suciptoutomo]

what about DDS?

[@faeonaodelia5025]

Try asking the supporting role that works in healthcare. How much was their oncall rate. Most of the time it will be met with off or if they are generous claim fuel that is probably 8sens per km🤣🤣 now that is sad. Supporting roles are always overlooked by gomen constantly

[@leejinxing]

Maybe number of medical student places need to be controlled in consideration with the number of expected doctors required. If the system is expected to require 1000 new doctor in 2028, then maybe control the intake of students to 1200 in 2024 example. So that you wont have the issue of having too many new doctors but do not have enough jobs to house them and have to make them do other roles that are non medical which is an underemployment and these doctors will also not have the necessary experience to improve their skills.

[@janettymojilin9018]

The issue with money is... I suspect the government oversending it to Gaza. That maybe the reason the doctor issue has a big financial problem.

[@T3chno1d]

not just doctors, majority of the healthcare staffs are treated like crap both from the superior management and the public.. its better to migrate and make money elsewhere if you can.

[@nsr_shifaramli]

All the new initiatives mentioned is not a new thing, it was already done and announced like a new thing and some still need to be rephrased and explained plus fact check. and the permanent offer doesn’t fixed the debilitating discrepancy of doctor salary from contract batch compared to their colleague before contract system hence solving nothing as well. The dr who receive permanent offer is continously underpaid in this already so sooo underpaid system. And with staff leaving the services and more miscellaneous task on top of new treatment modalities we can offer to our pt, the whole compensation, work schedule which has no regulation on to what frequency per month we can do oncall (some place at times selang sehari oncall), the way the system now, is a mockery and inhumane to an the already highly adaptive dr. So many staff dies to and from work due to accident, children left in the car, staff walking with iv drips to attend patients. But the system remains because if a doctor collapse, the other dr regardless will cover the days cause we would not leave the shift and our pt unattended. That is a perfect morale blackmail in action.

[@nsr_shifaramli]

Since the nature of medical officers task depends on their level of experience and skills and not limited to their grade, the audacious action of current system to offer similar grade and pay to professional whom u know have experience which surpasses the pay grade is something u can see in malaysia system as well. And this is only one factor. wages is mathematic and pretty clear cut. Not to mention other factors. I think as of now, it is our pt which makes us wanna do more as we focus on our work and the legendary specialist we can learn from, are what kept us buffered. Tho eventually if this is not fixed stat, u’ll get more distracted, burnout drs and staffs and it will eventually led to unsafe hospital or worse, total collapsed of public health.

[@nsr_shifaramli]

Note: thank you for taking initiative to highlight on the issue, the issue is pretty massive and debilitating, do keep up the effort to explore deeply on this matter, it may be helpful to open the eyes of many including the one in the system whom all too caught up with duties to even realised this is happening.

I am a doctor from Aussie/NZ, although we have our challenges and problems, but we don't have nonsense like these. The solutions are simple, just follow/copy how we run our medical schools and health systems, simple as that.
