Malaysian government doctors threaten strike action
Tens of thousands of young contract doctors employed in Malaysia’s public hospitals have threatened to strike on July 26 to demand changes in their terms of employment.
The strike threat was made by an independent group of contract doctors who are facing a surge of coronavirus infections in Malaysia. On June 29, coronavirus infections in Malaysia set a record daily high of 6,437.
On Monday, other contract doctors established an on-line social media page “Contract Doctors’ Strike” that trended for hours. MMA Schomos, the official union representing all government doctors, has begun its own social media campaign but limited to calling on all Malaysians to wear black on a Monday in solidarity with doctors.
