KUALA LUMPUR: For more than a year, doctors and staff have been paying out of their own pockets for cleaning services at their district clinic in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, as the Health Office’s fund to hire cleaners has purportedly run dry.

A medical officer working in the clinic aired his frustration, saying no action was taken when staff complaints were made through the proper channel.

“But then things go back to the way they were,” said the MO, who identified himself only as Chun Tean in a posting on his Facebook page on Monday. The staff also had to spend money to buy A4-sized paper for photocopying and have been using recycled paper to print referral letters and investigation forms, the doctor added.

“I am not a problematic doctor, just someone who fights for his rights and basic government emp­loyees’ rights,” he said.
