How To Apply Master Programme Part (1) - HLP KKM CBBP

There are 2 ways to pursue postgraduate studies:- 
A) Hadiah Latihan Persekutuan (HLP) 
B) Parallel Pathway (depends on your interested field availability) 
I'm going to walkthrough for the formal choice. 

WHAT IS CUTI BELAJAR BERGAJI PENUH (CBBP) HADIAH LATIHAN PERSEKUTUAN (HLP)?
(Extracted from buku panduan Taklimat Program Kepakaran Sarjana Perubatan)
"Cuti Belajar" : cuti yang diluluskan oleh Kerajaan kepada seseorang pegawai bagi mengikuti kursus jangka sederhana dan kursus jangka panjang secara sepenuh masa. Dalam tempoh tersebut, pegawai dibenarkan meninggalkan tugas utnuk berkursus dan tidak dikira sebagai putus perkhidmatan atau sebagai berhenti kerja. 

"Biasiswa" : kemudahan yang diperuntukkan oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan, Kerajaan Asing atau Badan Antarabangsa bagi membiayai yuran pengajian, elaun sara hidup dan kemudahan-kemudahan lain semasa dalam tempoh berkursus. 

"Bahagian Pengurusan Latihan (BPL)" : managing unit in-charge with the involved university throughout the Master Programme, that includes ikatan kontrak dan ganti rugi, yuran pengajian, pembayaran elaun-elaun, kelayakan cuti, tindakan tatatertib dan selanjutnya. 
Remember, university is in-charge, not hospital. Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM)
