MELBOURNE, Oct 12 (Bernama) - Malaysia's Talent Corporation
(TalentCorp) recently completed several outreach programmes in
Australia with outstanding success as hundreds of Malaysians mulled the
benefits of returning to seize employment and opportunities available in
Malaysia's fast-developing economy.
For example, a good indication was the good turnout of more than 60
Malaysian doctors and pharmacists working in Melbourne, who listened to
Health deputy director Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah explaining
Malaysia's 1Care concept, which involved the integration of private and
public health to achieve better and universal medical outcomes.
He assured young doctors and specialists of good incomes and that they would be working in international standard hospitals.
This prompted Pantai Group of Hospitals chief executive Tan Suet Guan
to say: "This is true. I sign the pay cheques every month."
Dr Hisham said it was an exciting time to work in Malaysia when research
and working conditions in the health sector were developing at a rapid
pace with overseas institutions offering help and calling for exchange
of doctors and ideas in healthcare.
Universiti Malaya's (UM) Medicine Faculty deputy dean Professor Dr
Johari Surin said UM was striving to be in the top 50 universities in
the world and urged Malaysians abroad to contribute to the university's
progress.
He outlined UM's plans for the future and suggested how the attendees could fit in.
Representatives from Sunway, Pantai and Mahkota medical centres also
spoke of their expansion plans to boost their healthcare services.
Discussions centered on, among others, the process to return to
Malaysia, such as registration, medical qualifications, schooling for
children and income tax incentives.
