Overworked And Underpaid, Malaysia‘s Junior MOs To Go On Strike July 26th

The hashtag #HartalDoktorKontrak has started to trend today on Twitter as news of a planned strike amongst junior medical officers in Malaysia began to spread.

Lack of job security, scarce career development opportunities, and overwhelming mental exhaustion due to being overworked and underpaid are among the reason for the organized strike. Contract medical officers throughout Malaysia are planning a walkout on July 26th outside their respective government health care facilities in every state in response to their unjust treatment by the government. 


Contract doctors have already started to be threatened with disciplinary action if they engage in the strike next month. However, the public, especially those on Twitter, has expressed immense support for the cause: 





Frontliners deserve not only verbal appreciation and pretty murals but also monetary compensation, better pay, and proper respect; and it is indeed saddening to see the backbones of our country in fighting the pandemic are severely underappreciated.
