Health is a critical profession

WE welcome the announcement that the government has postponed the removal of the critical service incentive (bayaran insentif perkhidmatan kritikal, or BIPK) for new appointees to 33 civil service categories beginning Jan 1,2020. We were especially concerned that the BIPK will not be provided to new dentists, doctors, medical assistants, nurses and pharmacists starting their service after that date.

As responsible partners of the government, we urge the government to completely reinstate the BIPK. In addition, we urge the government to appropriately improve the terms of service of all health professionals to retain talent inside the civil service.
