Malaysian Medical Council Registry

You can now search the MMC Registry at their website :

MMC Registry

They have information about your registration and APC number. You can even make a complaint against a doctor there.

But actually I think they should not make it so accessible as it is very eary for someone to pretend to be a doctor with all that information!

Also they have useful info like :

Special Consideration For Malaysians working abroad:
In 1997, the Cabinet approved the proposal to give either partial or full exemption of compulsory service to Malaysian medical officers or specialists working abroad who wished to come back and serve the country. They were allowed to work in the private sector provided they also performed community service in government hospitals or clinics.

As an incentive to attract more Malaysian specialists abroad to come back and serve the country, the Honourable Health Minister agreed to revise the previous directive for compulsory service. Hence, in September 2004, the Cabinet agreed to the new revised compulsory service directives and it came into force immediately.
The current criteria imposed for exemption from compulsory service are as follows:

1.For doctors below 45 years:
a.Need to possess a rare subspecialty as determined by a Committee on Exemption of Compulsory Service; or
b.Need to serve in public or private universities or military hospitals for a continuous period of 3 years;
2.For doctors aged 45 years old and above, regardless of having postgraduate degrees or otherwise.

So you just have to work oversease till you are 45 then you don't have to serve any service!
