Why scrap efficiency exams only for specialists, say me!

Why stoppp PTK exams for specialist only? By asking toScrap efficiency exams for specialists, say MPs, it shows that she was only talking on behalf of a select group of people. Typical UMNO-clan!

Anyways, the whole PTK exercise was a sham created by stupid administrators at JPA. Why don't most of the intellect question the administrators at JPA who most of the times were those who are not among the top-performers during their schooling period. I have always been assuming them to be the 2nd or 3rd echelon of people in schools who failed to do the premium courses and ended up getting themselves graduated through mediocre courses and fortunately ended up rulling their former excellent school-mates when they are in JPA!

Most of them are jokers! Hence the monkey governing of the Malaysian civil service!

While I'm at it, this Dr Rozaidah, while discussing the 2006 budget, shouldn't she be talking about requesting more money to improve her constituency in Ampang instead?

Scrap efficiency exams for specialists, say MPs

THE efficiency level assessment (PTK) for specialist doctors should be abolished as it has no relevance to their expertise, MPs said.

Dr Rozaidah Talib (BN – Ampang), debating Budget 2006, said specialist doctors left public hospitals for private ones mainly because they were frustrated with low salaries.

She said many doctors who had “slogged” to become specialists had to pass two general examinations – PTK1 and PTK2 – to reach the higher U48 grade.

“What is assessed has nothing to do with their expertise. They have already attained their qualifications after passing examinations in their respective fields,” she said.

Mohamad Shahrum Osman (BN – Lipis), in seeking clarification, said that if the doctors were already specialists they should be given “specialist salaries” and be exempted from the examinations.

Dr Rozaidah added that the problem arose because the examinations were formulated by the Public Examination Department and not doctors.

“Both examinations are general examinations which do not help in enhancing a doctor's quality of service,” she said.

Earlier, she complained that the Government gave better treatment to foreign doctors, who were given attractive incentives and salaries.

“Some of these foreign doctors are from developing countries such as Myanmar, India and Pakistan,” she said, adding that most of them could not find jobs in their own countries.

“Some even had to be retrained by local specialists before they could serve at our hospitals.

“Local doctors feel disappointed and insulted because it looks as though the Government does not appreciate their specialist qualifications,” she said.
