KUALA LUMPUR: The Congress of Unions of Employees in the Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs) has voiced opposition to the proposal to recruit nurses from Indonesia for placement in government hospitals.
Its president, Datuk Dr Adnan Mat, said the proposal was inappropriate, as many local nursing graduates, including those promoted through the Promotion by Appointment (PSL) scheme, are still waiting for permanent or contract placements, with some having waited as long as eight months.
