Doctors are furious.
A record breaking turn out of 77.49% and a 98% yes mandate smashing the anti-trade union legislation that demands POSTAL votes for a significant size of the workforce who rotates on an at least an annual basis is undeniable.
He did it. Aaron Bushnell forced this to happen. He did something so jarring and impactful that the mass media would be forced to report the raw facts about it if they want to avoid internal conflict like CNN and NYT have been experiencing in recent weeks. He left them no choice.
A sad day for Malaysia.
An embarrasing and dishonorable decision. What message does this send to the Rakyat, and other countries?
It is bad enough that the prison term has been commuted to 6 years, even the fine has been reduced by 76% (not 50% as indicated).

"It is vital that the UK stands up for human rights and medical neutrality during this crucial period if, for no other reason, than it is the right thing to do." @DrPhilBanfield & @DrLatifaPatel have written to Govt requesting urgent support to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The longest NHS strike in history continues
A strike that didn’t need to go ahead
But unfortunately our government is belligerent and ideological
Doctors have had pay cut by more than 31% in real terms since 2008
All we want, is go back to neutral, net zero to ‘08
Disappointing to hear of similar double pay deductions happening in:
@CUH_NHS@NWAngliaFT@jamespaget @NHSHarlow @MSEHospitals@enherts
Inconsistent, harmful, disrespectful and will impact member's decision to strike; a right everyone should be free to exercise.
