Questions have arisen about the calculations presented by PM Anwar regarding the cost of absorbing 4,000 doctors in Malaysia. The PM stated that the cost would be roughly RM10 billion per year.
A Full-Time Doctor Cost?
However, netizens have expressed their scepticism about this figure, particularly in relation to the current situation where doctors are on contract. Twitter account Bitcoin Malaya has pointed out that the calculations do not add up, with each individual cost being 25 times more than their annual salary of RM100,000.
The account also questioned the validity of the overhead costs for hiring them permanently. Some Twitter users have defended the government, stating that pensions and other factors need to be taken into account.
Others have argued that the expenditure is worth it to prevent the collapse of the healthcare system and the costly alternative of hiring expat doctors. However, there are those who remain critical of the government’s calculations, highlighting the need for a closer examination of the figures.
