Congress of Unions of Employees in Public and Civil Services (Cuepacs)  president Datuk Azih Muda said the moratorium on new posts would result  in a negative perception.  \u201cThe government needs to reverse the decision.  \u201cThis will create a negative perception among graduates and young  Malaysians who wants to work in the civil service,\u201d he told the New  Straits Times today.   Azih said the government had always said the people\u2019s welfare and well  being would come first and the freeze on new posts contradicts the  objective.   \u201cThe hiring process should continue. <\/p>\n<p>The implication from this freeze  will be detrimental to civil servants seeking a promotion.   \u201cIf there are no new hires, a civil servant will be stuck in his or her  position and will not be able to upgrade his position for a promotion,\u201d  said Azih.  The umbrella body which represents over 800,000 workers in the public  sector, also labelled the freeze as \u201cunreasonable\u201d and \u201cuncalled for\u201d,  and cautioned that it would affect public support for the government.   On May 8, the Public Services Department (PSD) announced in a statement  the freeze on new posts as a rationalisation measure to control the size  of the civil service as implemented in 2008, 2010, and 2011.<\/p>\n<p>   The department also said the freeze in new posts in the civil service  would be offset by efforts to increase employment opportunities in the  private sector.   At present there are 1.61 million civil servants as of December 31, last  year, and the rationalisation approach was taken to ensure the  continuous development of the country and the prosperity of the people.   Meanwhile, Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Dr H. Krishna  Kumar said there was no freeze on the hiring of new housemen as there  was a long waiting list.  \u201cThe association has enquired (with the department) and there are no  problems in hiring new doctors (as housemen) as the waiting list is very  long,\u201d he added.  Dr Krishna was responding to the call made by Health Minister Datuk Seri  Dr S. Subramaniam that the Public Services Department (PSD) should  reconsider the hiring freeze especially for the health sector.   On Monday, Dr Subramaniam had said the policy would affect the health  services provided by the ministry especially when it wants to expand its  services and new manpower would be needed to run the facilities in the  new hospitals and clinics.  It was learnt that there are approximately 40,000 doctors in both  government and private hospitals.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif\"><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/node\/84021\"><\/a><\/span>  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/cuepacs.blogspot.com\/2015\/05\/reverse-freeze-hiring-decision-cuepacs.html'>baca selanjutnya&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reverse freeze hiring decision: Cuepacs By KOI KYE LEE &#8211; 12 May 2015 @ 8:16 PM Read More : http:\/\/www.nst.com.my\/node\/84021 NST12\/5\/2015 KUALA LUMPUR: The decision to freeze hiring for the public sector must be reversed as it would discourage graduates from seeking e mployment in the civil service.
