00:00The advocacy group Hartal Doctor Kontrek has revealed the devastating case of Dr S, a houseman at Tawau Hospital in Sabah, who became a victim of relentless workplace bullying.
00:13According to the group, Dr S faced constant harassment from a senior staff member.
00:18The abuse was so severe that it led her into deep depression, confining her to her room for years and effectively ending her medical career.
00:27Meanwhile, the alleged perpetrator has since moved abroad to pursue specialist training, highlighting concerns about accountability in the system.
00:36This case comes three years after Hartal Doctor Kontrek launched their hashtag Stop Workplace Bullying campaign, drawing attention to what they describe as a widespread problem in Malaysia's public healthcare system.
00:49The group has now thrown their support behind Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkafli Ahmad's upcoming initiative.
00:58New guidelines on bullying management in government clinics and hospitals set to launch this October.
01:05Hartal emphasised that Dr S's case represents just one of many, with numerous healthcare workers suffering in silence.
