‘Medical grads with O Level need only take SPM BM’


PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry will discuss with the Education Ministry and the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate to smoothen the process for medical graduates with O Level qualifications to sit only for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia’s (SPM) Bahasa Melayu paper.

Individual candidates who opt for that can apply to the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (MES) for approval to take only the BM subject as a single paper as this meets the service condition for them to be appointed into public service, said Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
