Create more slots in master’s programme


MY son who is a medical officer with a public hospital is once again dejected and frustrated that his application for the master’s programme 2016/2017 intake has yet again been rejected by the Health Ministry, which announced the results on their website last Friday.

He has worked for six long years with the Health Ministry. Over the last four years or so, he has worked diligently and given all he has at the surgical departments of two hospitals in Pahang and Penang. He passed the entrance examinations for the programme and subsequently attended the interview session.
