KUALA LUMPUR: Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad wants a thorough investigation into the case of a specialist at Lahad Datu hospital, who was found dead in her house last month.

In a post on X today, Dr Dzulkefly stressed that he has zero tolerance for any form of workplace bullying and that all staff at the ministry deserve a safe and just working environment.

"The death of the specialist doctor must be further investigated.

"I have had zero tolerance towards bullying since 2018 and shall remain steadfast on this policy.

"I understand this toxic work culture persists, so (I urge) perpetrators just stop it," Dzulkefly warned.

He also extended his gratitude to those who have raised their concerns on the case.

It was reported yesterday that a specialist doctor stationed in Lahad Datu Hospital, Sabah, was found dead in her house on Aug 29.

A man, who claims to be her family member, said his sister had reported for duty in February this year, and became the head of a unit at the hospital.

In a Facebook post, he said the hospital had contacted his family to inform them that his sister had died, believed to be due to suicide, at her rented home.
