PETALING JAYA: The income of public healthcare medical officers and specialists will be affected through the implementation of the Waktu Bekerja Berlainan (WBB) pilot shift system, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
While aimed at reducing working hours and improving working conditions, MMA president Datuk Dr Kalwinder Singh Khaira argued that the increased on-call allowances would only be applicable for WBB on-call shifts on weekends and public holidays in reference to the Health Ministry’s recent circular.
