PUTRAJAYA: A total of 4,352 candidates for Grade UD10 Medical Officer posts will receive offer letters for permanent appointments by August 18, according to the Ministry of Health (MOH). The ministry stated that all candidates who accept the offer will report for duty at MOH health facilities nationwide in phases starting October 2. This exercise involves contract officers from several cohorts and is being carried out in phases to preserve their seniority and safeguard their welfare. “The permanent appointments must be implemented in phases as they involve officers from various contract cohorts, and are aimed at preserving their welfare and seniority,” the ministry said. An engagement session was held with the Ministry of Finance, the Public Services Commission, and the Public Service Department to ensure the appointment process proceeds smoothly. The MOH reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the smooth implementation of the appointment process. “This is in line with the MOH’s strategic move to strengthen the country’s public healthcare system by ensuring critical positions are filled in an organised and balanced manner,” the statement added. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had earlier announced on July 23 that the government would expedite the filling of 4,352 positions, including contract doctors, due to urgent healthcare sector needs. - Bernama

PETALING JAYA : The Health Ministry (MOH) is expediting the permanent appointment of 4,352 medical officers under Grade UD10, as part of efforts to strengthen Malaysia’s public healthcare system and address long-standing staffing shortages in government facilities. This major recruitment drive follows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s “Announcement of Appreciation for the People of Malaysia” on July 23, which included the creation of thousands of permanent posts to improve public services and relieve pressure on frontline workers. In response, the MOH has moved swiftly, engaging with key central agencies — the Public Services Commission (SPA), Public Service Department (JPA) and Ministry of Finance (MoF) — to ensure the smooth and timely rollout of the appointments. As the appointments involve multiple cohorts of contract medical officers, the process will be carried out in phases. The ministry said this phased approach is necessary to ensure fairness, while safeguarding officers’ seniority and overall welfare. SPA has already begun issuing offer letters, with all expected to be distributed by 18 August 2025. The new officers are scheduled to report for duty at MOH health facilities nationwide starting October 2, 2025. The MOH also expressed appreciation to SPA, JPA, and MoF for their strong cooperation in keeping the process on track. “The ministry remains committed to ensuring the entire appointment process runs smoothly,” it said in a statement. “This effort aligns with MOH’s broader strategy to reinforce the national healthcare system by filling critical positions in a planned, balanced and service-oriented manner.”

WORLD number one Jannik Sinner said he had taken the right decision by opting for a long break following his Wimbledon triumph, and the recharged Italian is ready to fire at the Cincinnati Open where he will defend his title. The 23-year-old lost a marathon French Open final to rival Carlos Alcaraz in June before gaining revenge over the Spaniard at the All England Club last month to secure his fourth Grand Slam title overall and second of a difficult season in which he served a short ban for an inadvertent doping offence. Sinner opted to prioritise his health following that victory and will return after a near month-long absence from the circuit when he takes to the court over the weekend in Cincinnati after getting a first-round bye. “The body and mind need to recover and need to understand what happened,“ Sinner told reporters in Ohio on Wednesday as he explained his scheduling. “I’m very happy I took some time off, seeing my family and friends and very important people I have around. In the past, I made some mistakes sometimes, starting too early at times. “I had conversations with the whole team, trying to understand what’s best. When you win big titles, they’re very special moments and then you have to leave them.” Sinner sported a protective sleeve on his right elbow when he practised with Christopher Eubanks on Wednesday, sparking concerns that he was still feeling the effects of an injury sustained during his title run at Wimbledon. The Italian said, however, that he was only using it as it gave him more stability. “The elbow is good. Today was the first time that I put the sleeve on because I liked the feeling of the sleeve,“ he said. “The impact with the ball is slightly more stable and I liked it at Wimbledon. I had to see how it is when it’s very hot and humid because it’s a bit different. “It’s going to be something I take into consideration, but I really love the feeling of pure striking.” The Cincinnati tournament is a tune-up event for the U.S. Open that runs from August 23 to September 7 - REUTERS
