NSTnation 102 contract medical officers (MO) have been offered permanent positions in Sarawak.

They are among the 1,500 contract MOs who were left in shock when they received letters from the Health Ministry earlier in March stating that their contracts had been renewed for only two years - from May 15, 2020, to May 14, 2022 - on the UD41 civil service grade, after which no extensions would be given.

The New Straits Times learnt that the MOs had received their letters of appointment from the Health Ministry via e-mail on Saturday. Those who failed to submit their responses through the e-Housemen system within the stipulated time would be considered as having rejected the offer, the letter read. “It came out of the blue and my heart sank when I read the email. On one hand, I’m glad that I got the offer, but on the other hand why on such a short notice?

“The Health Ministry should be more transparent when it comes to choosing who gets the permanent position and who gets to continue on contract because as far as I know, all of my colleagues have been adhering to the ministry’s rules,” he told the NST when contacted today. “We wish you all the best as you decide your fate within four days and begin working in Sarawak on April 15. Hopefully, you are able to arrange your accommodation and transportation with minimal difficulties,” he wrote.
