Bullying must stop across all workplaces, says group
PETALING JAYA: A pressure group wants bullying to be eradicated not only in the Health Ministry but across all sectors nationwide. Hartal Doktor Kontrak said such a move is crucial, highlighting the case of Dr S, a houseman who was allegedly bullied by a senior staff member in a hospital in Sabah. 'The abuse was so severe that she fell into deep depression and remained confined to her room for years, unable to return to work. 'Meanwhile, the perpetrator has moved abroad and is now pursuing a specialist training programme,' the group said in a Facebook post yesterday. Hartal Doktor Kontrak, which launched the #StopWorkplaceBullying campaign three years ago, urged the Health Ministry to do more to help those like Dr S. 'Having witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of workplace bullying in public healthcare, Hartal Doktor Kontrak express full support for Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad and his ministry's upcoming initiative – the launch of the guidelines on bullying management in government clinics and hospitals – expected this October. 'This move is seen as a critical step towards creating a safer, healthier working environment for all healthcare professionals,' the group said. 'To Dr S, her family, and the many other victims who were not adequately helped, the group offers a heartfelt apology. 'We, Hartal Doktor Kontrak, sincerely apologise for failing to support you earlier. Please forgive us,' it added.
