1. Introduction
We all go through different routes as we begin the process of applying that job as a
house officer in Malaysia. This few sheets of paper will serve as a guide to those who
chooses to follow mine. Bearing in mind that you are also a JPA scholar and have
went for the SPA interview.

If everything goes smoothly, you can have this done and over with in less than 90
minutes.
Thus avoiding all the headache and frustration that I had to go through.

3. Minci’s Route
JPA  SPA  KKM  MMC

All these departments/organizations are located at Kompleks Kerajaan Putrajaya. Since

Putrajaya operates a park and ride system, I can guarantee you that it would be
difficult to find a proper parking space there. The idea is for you to park at an allocated
space and then uses the public transportation available to get to the complex. Hence;

• Do not go alone so you could have someone wait in the car or

• Find a space to park at the sides of the road or
• Park at Alamanda. This however is alright if you’re going to parcel E only. Parcel
C is a long way to walk or
• Simply use the park and ride system
Please have your driving license/IC ready; to be exchanged with a ‘visitors pass’ at the
reception counter of every building you enter. You will need the pass to swipe the
doors before it could open.

5. What to expect next.

 a) Once you receive your ‘surat perlantikan’ from SPA, you are to send one copy
out of the three reply forms, saying that you agree to take up the post within
one month of the dated letter. This is to be done even though you haven’t
received an allocation letter from KKM. I was told that you can do the medical
check-up at the hospital you’ll be working in. I however have done it privately.
b) Some sort of information regarding induction week.
c) Your allocated hospital information.

Hope this helps.

Part II will consist of what happens once I get (b) and (c) or any other additional
letters. That is if I have time to write it up.
