Many Malaysians are now pursuing medicine due to the perceived good life that they will have in the future, i.e. moving to private sector where they will earn big bucks. Eventhough the situation in the public hospitals are overwhelming, they always convince themselves that once they join the private sector, they will lead a comfortable life raking in big money.

My question I would like to post is, does anyone know how much these specialists can earn in private, like say KPJ or Pantai hospitals? Some say more than RM100k a month, some say reaching RM40k is also considered good. So let's have a discussion on this so that we would have future doctors who enter the profession for passion, not just money per se. Appreciate any input that you guys might have! Thanks
