Melaka DAP Women Wing has denied an accusation that cronies were being planted in Putra Specialist Hospital Melaka, which is owned by the state government.
"This is defamation, it is not true," said Melaka DAP Women chief and Putra Specialist Hospital Melaka chief executive officer Chong May Lee (above).
"We are going to lodge a police report," she told Malaysiakini when contacted.
The management of the hospital will call for a press conference soon to clarify the matter, she said.
In a statement issued earlier today, Melaka Umno Youth accused the hospital, led by Chong, of ethnic cleansing and deploying cronies so they can enjoy the success of the state governent.
Its spokeperson and treasurer Mohd Noor Helmy said ten Malays and one Indian in management officials who continuously worked under pressure, were forced to quit their jobs.
He noted other staff members risked losing their jobs as they were slapped with warning letters and show cause letters.
"Melaka Umno Youth is concerned and look seriously at such emotional torturing strategy by an individual who holds a high post in the hospital," said Mohd Noor.
"We feel that the hospital led by Chong (Melaka DAP wanita chief) is conducting an ethnic cleansing, and to recruit their own cronies so that they could enjoy the success of the state government," added Mohd Noor.
The wing had received complaints related to the action taken by the hospital, he said.
The top management of the hospital is said to use profanity constantly against the staff openly, and instructed the staff members to do things not within their job scope.
"The show cause letters and warning letters were issued to staff without clear explanation," explained Mohd Noor.
"(The top management of hospital) disputed too many Malay staff members working with the hospital," added Mohd Noor.
"Melaka Umno Youth hopes the chief minister (Adly Zahari) will take appropriate action and defend the fate of these staff members," he said, adding the management of the hospital should act professionally and able to separate politics and occupation.
As of press time, Malaysiakini has been unable to obtain the comment of the chief minister and the state executive councillor Low Chee Leong. -Mkini
