Kota Kinabalu: The Health Ministry should put in place an anonymous reporting system for personnel facing bullying or pressure from superiors following the suicide of a specialist at Lahad Datu Hospital allegedly due to bullying.

Parti Warisan information chief Datuk Azis Jamman said there is need for a safe and confidential channel where healthcare workers can report such incidents without fear of retaliation.

“This system will be a crucial step towards creating a healthier and more supportive work environment for our dedicated medical professionals,” he said.

The brother of the 30-year-old deceased, Dr Tay Tien Yaa, who was attached to the hospital’s Pathology Department, alleged in Facebook that she had been subjected to bullying by a superior.
