The Public Services Commission (SPA) said it will look into the issue of contract doctors getting rejected for permanent positions after applying through its system.

This comes after the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) cited “technical issues” as among the reasons the doctors’ applications to the SPA have been rejected.

SPA chairperson Zainal Rahim Seman told Malaysiakini that the main reason why applicants were rejected was that they failed to list their Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) details in their applications.
