Entry exam not fair


I WRITE emphatically as a senior member of the medical profession, and as a parent, that the proposed entry examination for foreign medical graduates should be limited to unrecognised medical faculties only.

This has been the practice all these years, and parents who are investing hundreds of thousands of ringgit, and now over a million ringgit per child, always make sure that their child enters a university or medical college that is recognised by the Malaysian Medical Council and hence the Health Ministry.
