That allowance is to entice professionals such as doctors and pharmacist to work with govt when private hospital offer better working environment and higher salary.

Working in public health care, (the nurses doctors pharmacies) is really stressful and hard.. That allowance give something for them to cheer on at the end of the month.

meanwhile despite all this the politicians salary and allowance remain intact

menteri and politician with dubious degree and fake degree will continue get their allowance as usual.. Parliaments session also lazy to attend.. give bodo idea like flying car also no problem.. Debt increasing day by day..market tumble.. everyday fighting for own post in party while ignoring national interest..

The 4 criteria for critical allowance are as outlined below:
1. The profession selected should be within a field or area of interest as determined by the government to be of critical importance to the growth and development of the nation.
2. The profession should be one in which there is great competition for candidates with the government needing to incentivize the positions to attract the best talents
3. The profession should be one with specialized skills and expertise
4. The profession exposes the candidate to a variety of dangers and risks

got it from another thread..

So by abolishing the allowance meaning new doctors and healtcare staff are immune to danger and risk?

Yup why not abolish maid handphone renovation etc allowance for JUSA and politician first.
