THE Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) urges the government to look into the issues faced by contract doctors in their online applications to Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA) for permanent posts. A number of contract doctors who sent in their applications had encountered issues when applying for permanent positions and had complained that their applications were rejected without any reason given.

If there were any technical reasons for rejecting their applications, they should be allowed to re-apply. SPA should also reply with reasons for rejecting their applications and provide an avenue to appeal the decision. We urge the government to ensure transparency.
