Sure, we can increase 2x 3x more docs, nurse, hospital, medication for kkm singgek. But it is coming out of raykat taxpayers money. Docs can only entertain 50 or less patient a day. Double triple their salaries as well.

Are you okay with 14% or even 18% SST and ron95 rm2.80 to fund the healthcare annual budget?

Either way it is coming out of raykat taxpayer money to fund the universal free healthcare

One way to solve is to open more medical schools in MY and increase the medical students intake. Give student bonds to these graduates to work at KKM for 1-5 years as trainee/internship, so that current docs aren't overload. What I noticed here is too many patients but too few doctors, causing them to OT daily which makes them burnout. You also cannot tahan work 18thrs a day, but why force doctors to do the same?

So, just get in more student intakes in medicines, and then we will have more junior docs to cover the night shifts, and let the remaining docs more time off.

The brain drain thing cannot be help already, because MY ringgit too weak. Neighbour SG already can pancing them easily at any time, so no point raising salary. What these docs need is no more OT, and more rest time. So increasing medical students to cover the shortage is the best way for now.

I think we are indeed short of doctors but KKM do not have enough budget to employ more.
Our Healthcare is basically bleeding money every year. Every patient seen is losing money to KKM the charges not only not enough to cover doctor salary moreover with medication somemore.

Yes — in Malaysia, the salaries for government doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff are paid from the annual budget allocated to the Ministry of Health Malaysia (Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, KKM).

Here’s how it works in brief:

✅ KKM’s annual budget is approved under the Belanjawan Negara (National Budget) by the Ministry of Finance and Parliament.
✅ Part of this budget goes to Emolumen (emoluments), which covers salaries, allowances, and other benefits for permanent and contract staff (including doctors, nurses, medical assistants, pharmacists, etc).
✅ Other parts of KKM’s budget cover things like hospital maintenance, medicines, equipment, public health programmes, and development projects.

So yes — government doctors and nurses are directly paid from the KKM allocation under the federal government’s operating budget.
If you’d like, I can help break down the latest figures (like how much of KKM’s budget goes to salaries vs. other expenses). Would you like that?
