Johor health rep: Shortage of nurses in state due to many getting better deals in Singapore

JOHOR BARU, May 19 — The Johor state government will soon have a meeting with Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin to discuss the shortage of between 15,000 and 18,000 nurses in the state, said Health and Unity Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon.

Ling said that it was understood that one of the main reasons local nurses here find employment in Singapore is due to the higher salary. He said this is due to the many health programmes and services that have been increasing, apart from new hospitals that require nurses.

Most of this so called reps talks only of the reason, main thing is, what they're going to do about it? What? Ah..yes, nothing.
