At least several hundred if not thousands contract doctors have reportedly joined the HartalDoktorKontrak strike nationwide. Many wearing black and carrying placards, the participants started leaving their respective health facilities in unison at 11am.

Government contract doctors at various hospitals this morning performed mass walkout in a nationwide strike to demand job security and better career opportunities.

It is learnt that at least several hundred, if not thousands, had turned up despite intimidation by their superiors, who threatened to take disciplinary actions against those who participated in the 'Hartal Doktor Kontrak' protest. Many wearing black and carrying placards and posters, the participants started leaving their respective health facilities in unison at 11am.

Using the Special Branch to bully & threaten these doctors are just so uncalled for. What a disgrace. How would those police members feel if they or their family members become infected and needed treatment, and then being threatened with non-treatment by the doctors? Sad, right?

I presented this old timer here.

The PN govt is not a cAring one not placing rakyat health first. Vote them out.

PN leaders must be taught a lesson taking contract doctors for granted. While these leaders enjoy their durians and nasi ganja, these doctors are saving Malaysia.

This stupid government can't even solve this. DG shame on u for letting down contract doctors in this situation.

Police will probe HartalDoktorKontrak by contract doctors at Hospital KL. The Dang Wangi police chief said that under the MCO, no one is allowed to assemble or engage in any gathering at any place for any purpose without the permission of DGHisham.

do not ignore them.... give them a better deal.

I hope they are doing on their own and not by some political agenda. Hopefully their hod will understand.

🖤Pity them🖤

When funds and resources meant for frontliners are hijacked.

Patients are dying...

Health DG tells contract doctors to remember their oath, don't join strikeNoor Hisham says the strike could affect the patients' lives and doctors' careers. Then give them their due. Arresting them isn't going to help either , who's gonna help the patients then... no logic at all How are they gonna take care of their patients when they themselves are work to the bones? The irony is, he forgot the very oath by sucking up on politicians. Especially during Sabah election and till now.

Doctors, healthcare workers urged to remember oath | New Straits TimesKUALA LUMPUR: Doctors and healthcare workers on contract at government hospitals nationwide have been beseeched not to abandon their posts and duty to their patients by taking part in tomorrow’s 'Hartal Doktor Kontrak' walkout. So all these years, they have been holding up their oath, and sacrifices a lot, you didn't even bat an eye. And suddenly when they demand their rights, you want to bring this up? 'DO NO HARM' and yet it was okay for you to harm these doctors physically/psychologically? BULLSHIT i am surprised this is coming from you DGHisham. it should be you being supportive with them, your team, colleagues, and critical towards some stupid politicians/ministers handling the government, particularly the health/medical sector. But they are CONTRACT DOCTORS.
