THE second batch of government contract pharmacists selected for permanent fully registered pharmacist (FRP) posts was officially announced on March 29. However, there has been no official statement from the Health Ministry or the Pharmacy Board of Malaysia to confirm the grading and current selection criteria for provisionally registered pharmacists (PRP) to be appointed into permanent posts.
Those who failed to secure the permanent post are left in the lurch and many have voiced their grievances, just as those in November last year did when the result of the selection for the December 2016 batch was announced.
