increment....

When I was posted to Klinik Kesihatan in Tg Malim, I had done locum in a few local clinic from time to time, not on a regular basis of coz. One of the clinics was opened by a Taiwan medical graduate Dr C. Dr C wife had migrated to America along with his children and from time to time, he would take a break and escape to KL to meet with his sister. He would ask me to cover the clinic during the break. He pays RM20+/hr and compare to the pay of a poor govt. medical officer, it was quite ok at that time.

I had read news about this Dr Ika over the net and found that the locum rate was RM45/hr. Well, a 100% increased – a great leap from 10+ years ago.

it was RM2.5 for a small one 10+years ago and now it was RM4.5

compare to the price of inflation, the increment is considered as ok...
