2024 drop why still mca?

2024 2023 is MCA in power meh?

so 2022 2023 why no changes?

then why 2024 intake drop?

Maybe because this -
UM and UKM medical degrees are the onli medical degrees recognized by SG.
Govt maybe pissed - waste money train doctors - they go run away and work next door. 

UMS and UNIMAS - on the other hand... mana mau lari haa?

Pls enlighten me. Non citizen can study MBBS in Singapore ?

Thx for the info. I have heard its like near zero acceptance rate for foreigners..

This is very likely the main reason to be honest. I do know someone studying medical in UM right now, I shall ask her and see if she wanted to go SG or not 

Yep, many wanna go SG. Can't blame them, because the pays are so good and the exposure plus opportunities also plenty. Knew someone went to SG and becomes Specialist earning big bucks in SGD. Funny is she came back to Malaysia and got pick pocketed... lost her purse. I asked how much she lost, she said... just lost my OT money, about 7k-8k MYR. Can earn it back in 1 night.. no biggie. -True story,
It's up to UM working together with Ministry of Health to bond these students. However, from what I am looking at even the housemanship issue can't be resolved, meaning there are too many medic grads.. that's why.

And not necessarily becomes citizen of SG, my friend ended up married a Malaysian...

You have to know, if your salary so damn high, you will not be attracted by BTO scheme from the government. Without BTO, SG actually is nothing. Only those average Malaysian that kena attracted by the BTO and ended up naively given up their citizenship, and I personally think that many of these ex-Malaysian was blinded by the "perfect Singapore image" curated by the SG government and did not thoroughly ponder about it

I would not call it as "blackmail", I will call it "pressure" instead. I agree some of these pressure can very well be categorised as blackmail.

Yea, brain washing is strong there, it's like a "cult" movement if you like hanging up with these Singaporean in SG.

Money is never enough, but people with that kind of money have been snatching assets in Malaysia. The problem with BTO is, there are so many T&C, it is not worth it at all if one can afford to go for private assets in SG.

And the blackmail won't work because the demands for "specialist" there is too damn high, you know very well they can't afford to let go any good and proven "specialist". That's why regardless the T&C from gov or the "pressure", these people shall have the table.

And Type C that are capable of entering to UM to study Med through own merits etc, typically ain't that dumb, I know they will play their games right.

Please jgn generalised.
Medical staff cabut to other countries for better pay & working conditions.
Malaysia gomen is losing many medical staff from nurses, doctors to specialists, irrespective of skin color to private sectors and other countries.
Buat mcm you don't know how stressful, under paid & over work for all gomen medical staff.
Of course quit!
The number of housemen has also plummeted by half between 2019 to 2023. The nursing shortage could hit 60% by 2030.
Work non stop till mati ke?

KKM seRinggit fiasco.
Medical expenses have gone up worldwide!
SeRinggit can't even buy a cup of water in many places!

The only way to fix Malaysia Public Health is to bar all MPs, Adun & their immediate families members from seeking medical treatment /health care in Private Hospitals or overseas hospitals.
Can only do so in public Hospitals or else gets terminate as MP/Adun.
As MP/Adun you no confident with public health then don't be MP/Adun!

The media took the wrong information. Those figures are just people who joined the survey. 

Medicine intake was 71/199.

The real issue lies within STPM being the second class citizen. 

actually the number is still the same. Just that most of them is thru direct intake self pay RM500k.

Correct. But we all know STPM % will look sad. 

What media reported is misleading. One with critical thinking will further question. In fact I checked the figure for my batch during my time, it was incorrect too. 

The so called intake standard has 90% weight on CGPA and 10% weightage on koko.

CGPA:
Matriculation - Easier to score
STPM - Just ask anyone on the street. People will tell you it is hell.

Koko:
Matriculation students has more access to broader level of activities. Say if you represent the college, you are already state level, completed with support & transport.
For STPM, you start from district level.

Well, academic wise, you can grind damn hard can get 4.0, then the key differentiator becomes koko mark, which you don't have the chance to score. You time goes to transport & grind harder in academy, not much time left for the state or even national level competition.
The media took the incomplete STPM figure (or just those who took the survey?) as entire chinese, which is incorrect.
