Working as a pharmacist in Malaysia โ€” is it still viable?

High supply of grads, but demand in community pharmacy remains steady. Hospital roles are competitive. Pay in private sector is better but hours are longer. Consider niche specialisations like clinical research.

Community pharmacy pay has definitely improved. Locum rates in KL are around RM30-40/hour now.

Hospital pharmacy is still the best for learning, but the workload is insane.
