A DAP MP has taken the health ministry to task over the chaos and uncertainty surrounding
00:07
the e-placement system which contract doctors use to apply for permanent positions.
00:13
Kota Melaka MP Khoo Pwee Thiong said he was deeply disappointed with the ministry after
00:18
2,000 doctors arranged for time off from work on February 27 to log into the e-placement
00:24
system to select their postings at hospitals across the country.
00:28
Khoo said that once selections were made, many doctors proceeded to secure accommodation,
00:33
arrange transportation, and make other preparations based on their assigned placements, all of
00:38
which involved significant financial costs.
00:41
He said that on March 4, the health ministry announced that all placements were invalidated
00:46
because of a glitch in the e-placement system, with the doctors then informed that they would
00:50
have to reapply for placements today.
00:53
However, another announcement was made later on Saturday night to postpone the registration
00:58
of placements again.
01:00
Khoo criticized the ministry for repeating past mistakes and mishandling a crucial process
01:05
harming junior doctors.
01:08
He also said the abrupt changes added stress to overburdened doctors, which shows a disregard
01:12
for their dedication.
01:14
Today, the health ministry said the placement exercise has been put on hold due to technical
01:19
difficulties.
01:21
The ministry said the system will be replaced with a more transparent, fair, and merit-based
01:26
system, which is expected to reopen applications in six to eight weeks after the new system
01:31
has been finalized.
