PART I.

Description of the Service.

1.

There is a common roster for promotion. Officers are liable to be transferred to any administration, though they are generally posted to the STRAITS SETTLEMENTS or FEDERATED MALAY STATES in the first instance.

"Time scale posts (see Part II, paragraph 1) in the UN- FEDERATED MALAY STATES and BRUNEI are usually filled by officers seconded from the STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.

2. Applicants for appointments as Medical Officers or Medical Officers of Health in the Malayan Medical Service must be British subjects of European parentage and between 22 and 35 years of age. They must possess a double qualification and be on the British Medical Register. Preference will be given to candidates who have held hospital or public health appointments or who have special knowledge of anaesthetics, radiology, surgery, medicine, ophthal- mology, gynaecology and midwifery, diseases of the ear, nose, and throat, venereal diseases, &c.

Mode of Application for Appointment.
