Action against medical students refusing to serve the country

PUTRAJAYA: Legal action will be taken against government-sponsored medical students who refuse to return and serve in the country.

In a statement posted on its website on Wednesday, the Public Services Department (JPA) said it would refer such cases to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further action.

For medical students furthering their studies abroad, they had to sign the Akujanji (a pledge to serve) before they were allowed to do so, it said.

“JPA will consider each application according to the merit of each course and approval is not automatic,” it added.
