Abolish compulsory government service


MY son graduated as a dental surgeon from a local private university on December 2015 after five years of intensive study and spending a few hundred thousand dollars. Sadly, he is still waiting to be called for an interview for the one-year compulsory government service and is not gainfully employed.

I understand from reading the newspapers that there are not enough vacancies for dental surgeons in government hospitals. In this situation, I certainly do not understand why the one-year compulsory government service is still not abolished. Can the Health Ministry or Malaysia Dental Council (MDC) offer some sensible and more logical explanation? I am sure others who are in the same boat as my son, and their parents too, will appreciate being enlightened on this.
