Govt must ensure permanent posts if contract system ends, says Dr Mah
IPOH: Ending the contract doctor system is welcomed, but doctors must be absorbed into permanent posts with welfare safeguarded, says Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon. The MCA deputy president said the contract system's lack of job security made training and career progression almost impossible. 'Without permanent posts, doctors faced significant barriers to pursuing specialist training, as annual contract renewals offered no stability. Proper career progression requires a permanent position,' said Dr Mah. He said this after attending the 'War Against Crime: Fun Ride and Run' at DR Seenivasagam Park here on Saturday (Aug 9). Dr Mah commented on Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad hinting that the contract doctor system may finally come to an end. Dr Dzulkefly had hinted at a strong push to resolve the long-standing issue. 'To all our doctors, we hear you, we value you, we are with you, always,' he said in a post on X. 'Together, we will endeavour to end the era of contract doctors (from what was supposedly an interim arrangement in 2016),' he added. Dr Mah added that structured guidance and a clear pathway are vital for the profession's growth. He hoped the move would prevent the contract doctor issue from resurfacing in the future. Earlier, Dr Mah said parents should take their children outdoors on weekends to promote healthy living and reduce excessive screen time. He said that while technology is part of daily life, overreliance on gadgets, especially among children, can lead to unhealthy habits. 'We should not be too indulgent with gadgets. Parks and gardens are essential for healthy living,' he said. 'Exercise contributes to physical, mental and psychological well-being,' he added. The event was organised by the Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) Kinta district, with Waller Court Flats Rukun Tetangga and Perak MCA Youth. MCPF Kinta District chairman Chung Kok Heung said the event drew 400 participants. 'The event is held in conjunction with MCA Youth's 70th anniversary,' he said. He added that crime prevention booths were set up by the police and MCPF to share tips and information with participants. 'This is a platform for people to get together, stay active and learn about crime prevention,' he added. The event was flagged off by the Perak Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department's deputy chief Asst Comm Halimahton Ahmad.

At US$3.45, Is Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ:JRSH) Worth Looking At Closely?
Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (NASDAQ:JRSH), is not the largest company out there, but it received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NASDAQCM over the last few months, increasing to US$3.81 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$3.32. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether Jerash Holdings (US)'s current trading price of US$3.45 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at Jerash Holdings (US)'s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. According to our valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 22%, trading at US$3.45 compared to our intrinsic value of $2.82. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. Furthermore, Jerash Holdings (US)'s share price also seems relatively stable compared to the rest of the market, as indicated by its low beta. If you believe the share price should eventually reach its true value, a low beta could suggest it is unlikely to rapidly do so anytime soon, and once it's there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying range. See our latest analysis for Jerash Holdings (US) Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. In Jerash Holdings (US)'s case, its revenues over the next few years are expected to grow by 39%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. If expense does not increase by the same rate, or higher, this top line growth should lead to stronger cash flows, feeding into a higher share value. Are you a shareholder? JRSH's optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe JRSH should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed. Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on JRSH for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there's no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for JRSH, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop. So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing.
