As a medical doctor, I feel compelled to speak candidly about the ongoing exodus of our medical professionals to countries like Singapore, Australia, and the UK. The issue is not new—but it has become expedient.
I acknowledge Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Ahmad’s recent comments that the government is taking steps to retain talent. His sincerity is evident, and I believe he genuinely cares about this crisis. However, goodwill and promises alone are not enough. We must confront the systemic flaws that are pushing our healthcare workers to leave.
