In government service, Dr can climb the ladder very quick.
Most U52-U56 age around 40s. Some even below 40.
By the time becoming JUSA, mid 40s, easily get Dato/Datuk of still in government service.
Then, resign la join private sector.
Or wait to retire and enjoy JUSA pension, full salary.
In other government sectors, you’ll be lucky to reach JUSA before 55.
Some, only JUSA C with only a year or two of service. No hope of getting to JUSA B.
The thing is, head of government department in every state usually JUSA C.
But in every hospital, easily more that one JUSA.
A big, state-capital hospital, each of department (ortho, pead) in that hospital headed by a JUSA. Director of hospital can be JUSA B.
Which equivalent, or more than Director General of small department like Met Dept, JAKOA, Fisheries Dept
JUSA position limited la. not all consultants or specialist will be given JUSA post nowadays.
that's why there's the new UD56 grade.
hospital director is at most JUSA C only, mana ada JUSA B (except maybe HKL).
hospital director also usually doctor with MBA or that special masters of management program for doctors, rarely specialist in any certain field.
