'RM9 per hour inaccurate': Health Ministry defends on-call allowances
This article is a year old
The Health Ministry has defended medical officers’ on-call allowances (ETAP) amid complaints that the RM9 an hour is lower than some retail staff and cleaners.
The ministry said it is inaccurate to divide their RM220 ETAP rate for public holidays and weekly active on-call by 24 hours to arrive at the figure of RM9 per hour.
