Twin sisters Aimee Teong Chuin Ai and Charlotte Teong Chuin Yi have been offered seats to study finance and economics from several top universities in Britain, Hong Kong and Singapore.

However, the two top STPM achievers had to decline because all they wanted to do was to study medicine at Universiti Malaya (UM).

The dreams of the 20-year-old twins finally came true when MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong presented them with the offer letters during a ceremony at Wisma MCA yesterday.

Dr Wee said the sisters had selected medicine, dentistry and actuarial science as their top three choices

Initially, elder sister Aimee obtained the offer to study actuarial science at UM while Charlotte was offered the same course at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

“However, after giving much consideration to the courses available, both of them realised that they wanted to pursue their favourite subject of medicine,” he said after a press conference here yesterday.

See how they spin the story? The offers from universities in UK, HK and Singapore does not even relate to the article, but they put it in to give an impression that it is better to study in the local universities.

They will regret their decision. There are currently 32 medical schools in Malaysia...producing about 6000 doctors per year. If we include graduates from India, Russia, Indonesia, Egypt....you know what I'm trying to say.

Go study dentistry instead. Too many doctors already in Malaysia.

Do you guys realise that without MCA's intervention they would have only have had actuarial science?

What does that tell you about the system in place now?

Even top students do not get the choice that they want. They are only getting it now after MCA intervened. Why is this so?

My dear UTM lecturer,

You fail to see the big picture. All these 6000 doctors will be absorbed into Ministry of Health to serve their housemanship. You have no idea how serious it is currently with such a big number of doctors flooding the hospitals. One department has up to 60-70 house officers when the number of patients remained much the same. Previously 1-2 house officers is in charge of one whole ward but now one house officer is in charge of 4-5 patients.

With so many procedures to perform, to observe, to learn there is inadequate exposure. The govt is so desperate that small district hospitals e.g. Hospital Tanah Merah in Kelantan is opened up for housemanship. No specialist, no expertise, no facilities, what do you think these doctors will become?

QFT. My bro's gf who is working as a pharmacist in Sungai Buloh Hospital told me that there is a ratio of 10 doctors to 1 patient in the hospital.

I mean, seriously? What you think this is - House MD?

Lots of ppl out there have no idea how's the situation in the hospitals right now. To be a good doctor, you need the necessary knowledge and good exposure to all the clinical scenarios, procedures, protocols and the way the hospital runs.

What the current house officers lack is the latter. Of course the situation is even worse for graduates from Russia, Indonesia, etc. With their poor knowledge and poor exposure, these doctors have been given the license to kill.
