Should I Stay in Klang Valley or Not ??

The Klang Valley Dilemma For Houseman

If you have no idea what this post is all about, its either you're too junior in the medical field (1st year student) or you're unaware of the typical new housemanship dilemma.
You can't be both !!!

Prior to housemanship, you will be given a chance to choose 3 hospitals which you are willing to work at.
One of the condition is, if you choose hospital within klang valley (kl/selangor) for your housemanship, then upon finishing housemanship, you will be transfer OUT of kl/selangor within 6 months after becoming Medical Officer (MO aka pegawai perubatan UD44).

Situation :-
Alex Ferguson chose to do HO in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) because his parents live in Kg Baru, so that he can stay with his family during housemanship.
After 2 years of housemanship, he received a letter from the ministry saying that he will be transferred to Sabah, to work in Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. His appeal was rejected and was told that he needs to work there (KK) at least 2 years, then only he can apply for transfer to hospital in semenanjung, let alone KL !!

THATS THE DILEMMA EVERY HO WILL FACE !!!
It is almost certain that you will be transferred out of kl/selangor once you become MO, if you choose to do your HO there. You CAN NEVER stay there.

Looking from a different angle...
If you choose to do HO outside of kl/selangor, say Melaka or Johor...
Once you become MO there, you can apply for transfer to hospital within KL/Selangor...
Or you CAN stay there... !!

Choose KL / Selangor :-
1) If your parent stay in KL/Selangor, they will be by your side, encouraging you to go through hard HO life
2) You can stay in your parent house & save money. Bfast / lunch / dinner served direct from the kitchen
3) Sometimes parents can help you send your car for service, wash & iron your clothes, ect
4) You get to see your parents everyday !!!
5) Family looking after you if you fall sick

Outside KL / Selangor :-
1) You're far away from your parents (if they live in KL / Selangor laa). Busy & tiring HO life, make it harder to see them as frequent as you wish
2)  You'll spend some (or more) money, to buy bfast / lunch / dinner
3) You need to wash & iron your own clothes. But you can send it to the laundry shop nearby
4) More freedom & control of your life (which can be "pisau bermata dua") !!
5) More subject to stress / boring life (subject to personality)
6) Most IMPORTANT is, you can apply to work in KL / Selangor once you've finished HO !!!!

So should i choose my workplace according to where does my parents live???

* If they're staying in KL/Selangor, you have to think & choose....

* If they're staying outside of KL/Selangor, no dilemma laa, just choose, later when become MO, 80% can stay there also !!!!!!!
