00:00
A senator has hit out at a group of eight scholars for sending an email to senators
00:07
in hopes of lobbying them to oppose the Medical Act 1971 amendment bill.
00:12
The group had questioned Putrajaya's decision to recognize parallel pathway program specialists,
00:18
according to Senator Dr. R. A. Lingeshwaran.
00:21
Lingeshwaran said the group's sole contention was that only training hospitals run by the
00:25
higher education ministry should be recognized as training centers.
00:30
The former Sungai Bakap Hospital director said he was unsure of the group's motive
00:34
in opposing a bill that aims to close the gap in recognizing cardiothoracic surgeons
00:39
who are in short supply in public hospitals.
00:42
He pointed out that two of these scholars hold a specialist certificate from the Royal
00:45
College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, institutions
00:51
they had questioned in their emails.
00:53
The bill, which will recognize all specialists who obtain their qualifications via the parallel
00:58
pathway program, was later approved by the Senate.
01:01
It will also empower the Health Minister and Malaysian Medical Council to recognize specialists
01:06
to be listed in the National Specialist Register.
