PM arah semakan proses kepulangan pakar melalui TalentCorp
Menteri Komunikasi Fahmi Fadzil berkata Anwar Ibrahim mahu Kementerian Sumber Manusia lapor dapatan kepada Jemaah Menteri.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has directed the Human Resources Ministry to re-examine the management of TalentCorp applications, including those from doctors seeking to return to serve in Malaysia. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil told reporters after a cabinet meeting that the Prime Minister wants the ministry to report back to the Cabinet with the findings of the inquiry.
The inquiry will cover the status of applications received, the time taken for processing, and the number of successful or rejected applications, including those from doctors wishing to return to serve in Malaysia. This comes after concerns were raised to Anwar by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) regarding the public interest in the program.
Last month, Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad stated that the Return of Experts Program (REP) under TalentCorp aims to attract interest from Malaysian citizens working abroad, including medical professionals and healthcare workers, to return to Malaysia. The highest number of applications for the REP program in the healthcare sector has come from the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia, with doctors and nurses forming the largest professional group applying for the program.
Foreign healthcare workers and doctors are also permitted to serve in Malaysia under strict conditions monitored by the MMC and the Malaysian Nursing Board to meet the workforce needs in critical facilities and specific locations.
