Stool Tests Cannot Replace Diagnostic, Preventive Colonoscopy: Specialists
Colorectal surgeons say stool tests are for general screening and can’t replace colonoscopy to diagnose colorectal cancer when patients have symptoms. Polyps can be removed before turning cancerous, making it both a diagnostic and preventive procedure.

Malaysia Heading In US Direction With MediAsas: Expert
Syed Aljunid slams MediAsas, saying Malaysia is moving in the direction of the US by wrongly using private health insurance as a health financing solution. Introducing MediAsas further breaks up the pool of resources; premiums are unaffordable for elderly.

Time For Doctors To Relinquish Management Of The Health Service
MOH’s historic doctor workforce contraction and 50% no-show for permanent posts are a wake-up call to revamp the health service. Reserve management positions for those qualified in management; doctors should focus on clinical work and building specialties.

JPA Refuses To Further Relax LNPT Requirement For Subspecialty Training
JPA denies MOH’s request to further relax LNPT requirements for 2026/2027 subspecialty training, citing 6 reasons, including injustice against doctors who didn’t apply because they followed the rules. Facilities in public service aren’t an absolute right.

Malaysia’s doctor workforce in the public sector declined in 2024 for the first time since 2014. In an historic contraction, MOH lost 1,444 doctors in 2024 (mostly medical officers and specialists), after over 1,100 MOs rejected permanent posts in 2023.

Doctors Now Eligible To Claim Relocation Allowance For Permanent Posts

How Singapore Can Effectively And Efficiently Co-Fund Private IVF Treatment
Singapore’s existential demographic challenge requires bold, innovative action, and helping more couples access IVF quickly is a necessary step. But public funds must be spent on evidence-based medicine, not corporate upselling.

Permanent Appointments Alone Won’t Solve Doctor Retention In Sabah
Permanency alone may not be sufficient to address the challenge of attracting and retaining doctors in Sabah and Sarawak. More attention should be given to measures that improve long-term retention, including greater flexibility in inter-state transfers.

Lindung 24/7 Must Remain Mandatory For Everyone’s Benefit
Lindung 24/7 must remain mandatory because social insurance only works when everyone, both rich and poor, contributes. Otherwise, it’s unsustainable with a small risk pool; contribution rates may spike and claims get denied, like private health insurance.

Poultry Producer SLH Expanding Despite Cost Pressures, Geopolitical Uncertainty
SLH, a major Malaysian poultry producer, is pressing ahead with expansion, automation, and closed-house upgrades, despite rising feed costs and projected two years of market volatility. Smaller farmers are expected to face the greatest pressure.

Pharmaniaga says 59% of the government’s pharmaceutical spending in 2025 went to innovators (RM2.1b), compared to 41% on generics (RM1.4b). The government also allocated two-thirds of its budget on imported drugs, be it originators or imported generics.

Private Hospitals Say They’re At The Mercy Of Big Insurers
Private hospitals say they’re at the mercy of big insurance companies, with delisting threats if they don’t give discounts at 20% to even 40%. APHM says medical equipment and nursing are actually undercharged to patients; running a hospital is very costly.

Two Industries Profit From The Same Bill: Malaysia’s Insurance-Hospital Cost Crisis
If neither side of this (medical and insurance) industry disciplines its own pricing, the obvious remedy is one the PAC report gestures toward but doesn’t go far enough in recommending: a mandated profit margin ceiling for both private hospitals and ITOs.

Pharmacists Say Credentialing, Legal Reform Needed Before Prescribing Expansion
Pharmacists back micro-credentialing and a bigger role in patient care, as they already make many clinical decisions. But Malaysia needs clear training, credentialing and governance frameworks before expanding prescribing powers to pharmacists like the UK.

KPKM: Pre-Conflict Stock Keeps Fertiliser Price Hikes Below Global Levels
KPKM says fertiliser prices in Malaysia rose by up to 29% but are still cheaper than international markets because suppliers are still selling pre-conflict stock. Malaysia also relies heavily on Argentina for soybean meal and grain corn for livestock feed.

MOF Maintains Nicotine Vape Tax Pending Court Of Appeal Ruling
