307 permanent medical officers deployed to Sabah under e-Placement initiative
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 307 permanent medical officers will be stationed across healthcare facilities in Sabah under Phase One of the e-Placement initiative. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said this move aims to strengthen services and reduce existing workloads. He noted that 10 officers will serve at Duchess of Kent Hospital (HDOK), the main referral hospital for Sabah's east coast. 'HDOK offers 19 in-house specialties and serves Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Beluran, Telupid, and Tongod districts,' he said in a Facebook post. The hospital, with 414 beds, handles high workloads including outpatient care, surgery, emergencies, and maternity services. 'The new staff will improve service quality for the public,' Dzulkefly added. His visit to HDOK also addressed facility upgrades, such as a new block and a larger water tank for uninterrupted operations. In a separate post, Dzulkefly reviewed the Measles-Rubella Immunisation Program at Karamunting Rural Clinic with Sandakan MP Vivian Wong Shir Yee. The program targets over 95% immunisation coverage to achieve herd immunity and stop infection chains. 'Rural clinics like Karamunting are frontline health hubs, providing treatment, immunisation, and health education,' he said. The minister later inspected Kinabatangan Hospital, noting challenges like the lack of isolation rooms and critical equipment. He also inaugurated Ulu Dusun Health Clinic's new building and reviewed Bukit Garam Health Clinic's reconstruction. 'These upgrades improve patient comfort and service capacity for outpatient care and immunisation,' Dzulkefly said. The RM600,000 Ulu Dusun clinic is operational, while the RM1 million Bukit Garam clinic is under construction. – Bernama

Govt assures autistic students will get place in public university
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said he has instructed an investigation into the case, which will be resolved soon. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir at the Dewan Rakyat, today. - Photo by Bernama KUALA LUMPUR – The government has assured that a student with disabilities (PwD), who was allegedly denied the right to apply for admission to a public university due to autism, will still be offered a place at a public institution of higher learning (IPTA). Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said he has instructed an investigation into the case, which will be resolved soon. "The matter involving the PwD student will be addressed. We will ensure that he can study at one of the IPTAs he requested. "Most recently, I was informed that the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is also looking into this case to see if it would be suitable to place the student there. I believe that it is among his preferred universities," he said during a Dewan Rakyat session here on Tuesday. He was responding to an additional question from Khoo Poay Tiong (PH–Kota Melaka), who sought clarification on the case and the ministry's efforts to assist academically outstanding PwD students in enrolling at university. A mental health organisation recently raised concerns over an incident where a student was allegedly barred from applying for placement in a public university because he had autism. According to a Facebook post, the student, known as Aniq, reportedly achieved a matriculation Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.83 and met both the general and specific entry requirements for the programme he applied for. Initially, Aniq was able to select a university programme during the second phase of the University Central Unit (UPU) system, but his choices later 'disappeared' in the following stage. Zambry stressed that the government's policy ensures no individual with the required academic qualifications will be discriminated against when applying to a public university. He explained that universities usually required confirmation of the type of disability a student has before proceeding with the application process, taking into account the facilities the institution can provide. "The issue that arose was that he (the PwD student) applied under the PwD category and some universities wanted to know the specific type of disability so that adjustments could be made according to his condition," he said.
