FAIRER Supply OF Specialists

According to observers, more balance needs to be maintained in the transmission of doctors between specialties and locations.

Spend in some high-paying fields, such as plastic and cosmetic procedures, is much lower than in other high-paying fields, such as emergency, life-saving surgeries and specialist care.

Additionally, the gap in payment and facilities between urban and rural areas results in physicians frequently moving to more profitable positions in bigger places, leaving parts of the country in desperate need of specialists.

” An increase in the source of doctors may immediately solve the inequity issues,” said Prof. Kwon.

” But, without increasing the supply of doctors, the imbalances can never be resolved”.

In addition, the effects of the strike have also been felt by other branches of the medical sector.

When Ashley Kim, a student of care, accepted a position as a caregiver at one of South Korea’s largest hospitals in February.

But, the 24- yr- old has been left in purgatory as hospitals delay fresh hires due to the ongoing strike.

She told CNA, adding that she hopes the specialists will soon return to work,” First, I was excited after learning that I got the job, but then I am really waiting without knowing when I may began.” &nbsp,

Situations AMID Problem

When the announcement of the fuel flow broke, Changi Fresh tuna farm’s director, Darren Ho, told CNA that they were “naturally concerned.”

After all, the one-hectare plantation had only just begun operating last month, he said, and they had even brought in seafood. They had hired fresh workers.

He claimed SFA reached him on Tuesday to request samples from his fish grain, but he declined because his bass are still too small.

The company also informed him that the efforts were being directed at the group of farms that were situated near the channel’s jaws.

Although the region has not been affected by the oil flow, Mr. Ho explained that nothing is being taken for granted and that business continuity plans are in place.

” In the worst- case scenario, we will take ( out the fish ) and freeze before selling”, he said.

Diver dies after getting entangled with boat propeller; MOM investigating

In: South-East Asia

The Ministry of Manpower ( MOM) announced on Wednesday ( Jun 19 ) that it was looking into a fatal workplace accident in which a diver died after getting entangled with a boat propeller. &nbsp,

The affair took place&nbsp, at about 2.10pm on Tuesday at the northeast anchor, along Marina South Pier. &nbsp,

A 22-year-old Malaysian employee was cleaning a ship’s deck when he got tangled with one of the shafts of the supporting dive boat, the department said in response to CNA inquiries. &nbsp,

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it received&nbsp, a call for assistance at about 2.15pm.

The employer was then transported to Singapore General Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. &nbsp,

In a split speech, the authorities said based on initial studies, no foul play is suspected and that investigations are ongoing. &nbsp,

As a general safety measure, MOM pointed out that all established commercial diving standards must be followed, including surface-supplied diving equipment and commercial self-contained underwater breathing apparatus ( CSCUBA ).

“ These tools and tools facilitate coordination and connection between fishermen and bosses during activities.“ Commercial diving activities should not be conducted on outdoor SCUBA.

CNA has contacted the farmer’s company, &nbsp, Tumble- Marine Services, for more information. The Manpower Ministry has mandated that the business cease all scuba diving actions.

Degraded components led to malfunction that caused F-16 crash: MINDEF

In: South-East Asia

WHAT HAPPENED

In its update on Wednesday, MINDEF reported that the online flight control computer received “erroneous but comparable inputs” from two of the aircraft’s pitch rate gyroscopes.

The two accelerometers had been found to have deteriorated as a result of wear and tear and had failed during take-off. &nbsp,

Former Republic of Singapore Air Force ( RSAF ) pilot Ong Swee Chuan previously told CNA&nbsp, that&nbsp, at any one time, three out of four of them are used and the average of two is taken to provide data to the flight control computer, &nbsp,

With two gyroscopes registering false sources that were identical, the journey control logic “accepted” them as” right” while rejecting the input from each of the remaining functioning thrusters as “incorrect”, said MINDEF.

The electronic flight control computer was forced to manoeuvre the F-16 in response to the false pitch rate feedback from the two damaged gyroscopes, according to the statement.

NO ACCIDENTALITY IS RECORDED BEFORE TAKE-OFF.

The research, which&nbsp, was led by the RSAF and supported by Lockheed Martin and the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau, even concluded that the F- 16 plane was maintained according to established practices.

The RSAF had adhered to needed repair checks, said MINDEF, noting that&nbsp, F- 16’s thrusters are the same as those used by other F- 16 users around the world.

” Lockheed Martin does not specify any proactive maintenance for these thrusters”, it added. When a problem is discovered, the thrusters are to be replaced.

Putin’s visit to Vietnam casts spotlight on Russia’s influence in Southeast Asia

US ISSUES REBUKE

Despite having only improved relations with Washington last month, Vietnam is rolling out the red carpet for Putin amid criticism from the US government.

No country may provide Putin a platform to promote his battle of aggression, according to a statement sent to CNA from a representative for the US Embassy in Hanoi.

If he can travel freely, it might normalize Russia’s flagrant violations of international law and unintentionally send the message that atrocities is been committed in Ukraine and elsewhere without trial, worsening human suffering, and advancing lasting peace and justice, the spokesperson said.

We are unable to go back to normalcy or ignore the flagrant violations of international law that Russia has committed in Ukraine. For those concerned for battle crimes, there must be responsibilities.

HISTORICALLY STRONG LINKS TO RUSSIA

Vietnam has maintained its previously friendly ties with the former Soviet Union, even as it aligns with the US in opposition to China.

When Vietnam’s conflict and nation-building came to an end, Russia’s support was crucial in that country’s history.

In the late 1950s, the US entered Vietnam to stop a socialist rule over the area. The war became incredibly unpopular in the US as Asian civilians became more and more frequently caught in the crossfire and British tactics became more brutal.

It is clear that Vietnam views Russia as an ally in the displays at the Vietnam Military History Museum, which is situated in the heart of Hanoi.

Vietnam’s shipwreck of British plane is next to Soviet-made missile systems and other military equipment used by Vietnam.

Nguyen Dat Phat, vice-chairman of the Vietnam-Russia Friendship Association, stated to CNA that the Soviet Union’s support was “great and significant because we wanted to conquer the South and bring the nation together through force and resistance.”

” We needed weaponry, weapons, fuel, and so on.”

Vietnam wants to show its support for Russia since well at this point.

It opted not to vote on UN proposals regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and avoided the Ukraine peace conference last weekend.

The West has sponsored the draft proposals to denounce Russia. Abstaining, in my opinion, would mean avoiding joining Russia’s fight. That’s aid for Russia,” said Nguyen.

According to experts, these social exchanges will help maintain the strong, rooted-in-people connections between Malaysia and China.

” Going forward, you see these individuals when they get to understand one another, I think the next thing they do would perhaps set up some companies. They will have some shared jobs, joint cooperation up”, said Dr Oh Ei Sun, senior colleague from the Singapore Institute of International Affairs.

” I think it may continue to drive this previously very close diplomatic relations”, he added.

When CNA spoke to her, Ms. Wang Yi, a different scholar, was performing a Malay folk party called Zapin.

Ms Wang, who is from the northwest- central area of Ningxia, was among 44, 000 students from China who applied for entrance to Malaysia’s people universities next year. She was accepted to the University of Malaya’s faculty of creative art.

The undergraduate said she enjoys how” cheerful” Malay party is because she has studied traditional Chinese party.

” Whenever the citizens perform the dancing, you may see that they are smiling from their souls”, the 21- year- ancient added.

” I like Malaysia very little. I want to reintroduce a portion of its traditions.
