Entulu, Subramaniam Must Explain Decision To Relax BM Pass Requirement - DPM Last update: 03/07/2017 KUCHING, July 3 (Bernama) -- Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Joseph Entulu Belaun and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S.Subramaniam will be asked to explain the decision to relax the minimum pass-requirement in Bahasa Melayu (BM) at the SPM-level for the appointment of a Grade UD41 Medical Officer on contract. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the two ministers would be asked to do so at the Cabinet meeting scheduled for Wednesday. "I will ask Datuk (Seri Dr) Subramaniam to expain about the controversy, and the minister in charge of Public Service Department (PSD) Datuk Joseph Entulu to provide information about it from PSD's perspective." Ahmad Zahid said this to reporters during a 'Gawai Dayak' visit to the residence of Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas at Taman BDC, Stampin, here today. Also present were Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg and State Cabinet ministers. The deputy prime minister said the explanation was necessary to enlighten the people and pacify the disputes at the grass roots, especially among the champions of the national language. "For me, this issue should be addressed with an open mind and we have to hear the explanation from the two ministers so that it will not remain as a controversial or polemical issue, which can be manipulated by the anti-establishment group, in view with the upcoming 'big day' (general election)," Ahmad Zahid said. "In this case, I view the decision made by the PSD and the Health Department as not affecting the permanent civil servants, but only those on contract, and that is why I want some enlightenment from the two ministers," he added. Yesterday, the Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement said that the PSD has relaxed the BM requirement for qualified medical graduates to be appointed as Grade UD41 contract medical officers and that those who had been accepted would have to undergo graduate training for two years and serve two years with the Health Ministry. --BERNAMA © 2017 BERNAMA.

JAWAPAN: YB DATO' SRI AZALINA BINTI OTHMAN SAID, MENTERI DI JABATAN PE RD ANA MENTE RI. Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, Kerajaan telah membangunkan Sistem eKasih pada tahun 2007 sebagai satu pangkalan data kemiskinan nasional yang bertujuan untuk mendaftarkan golongan miskin di Malaysia dan mengklasifikasikan kategori golongan miskin di Malaysia sama ada mereka tergolong dalam kalangan "Miskin Tegar dan Miskin" berdasarkan Pendapatan Garis Kemiskinan (PGK) sedia ada. Sistem eKasih juga mengandungi maklumat bantuan dan nilai bantuan yang diterima oleh golongan miskin tersebut.

Sebagai contoh, jika pendapatan KIR dalam lingkungan RM140 ke bawah, KIR tersebut dikategorikan sebagai Miskin Tegar.
