00:00This picture, you must see.
00:03The PC is on the face with...
00:05You know, recently there's a doctor, specialist, by the name of this Dr Tay Tien Yap,
00:12mysteriously died.
00:15And later, they claim that she committed suicide.
00:20It was a shock news to us, and especially to our parents.
00:25We found something from our sisters on WhatsApp conversations.
00:29So from there, we found...
00:32Basically, she did some complaints about her workload,
00:37and how she was being treated in the hospital.
00:42And she complained a lot about her work since the early of August.
00:47Well, we cannot imagine just within one month,
00:50and how many things that she needed to be done.
00:53We heard that she worked from morning 8 something until the late night,
00:58maybe 11, 12, and even 1 something.
01:02I think that this working hour is quite long to a normal doctor.
01:06We will be eventually, or rather we are acting for the family,
01:11on this very sad situation of grief that we have received.
01:16We are going through the evidence now.
01:18We've gone through part of it,
01:20and we are still accumulating more evidence,
01:23as it's been just that they finished their bereavement period
01:28of the funeral and things like that.
01:31We're not going to leave any stones unturned here.
01:34All right?
01:36We will work with the ministry.
01:38We will work with the respective police departments and authorities
01:43to get to the bottom of this.
01:45This very young specialist, you know, at such a young age,
01:50taking her life like this is a very sad state of affairs.
01:54All right?
01:55And this shouldn't happen not only in the medical profession,
01:59but in any profession.
02:01But let me tell whoever who may be responsible
02:05for this young girl's miserable death,
02:09we will come by the book, by the law,
02:12and the rule of law will take effect,
02:14and we will get everyone possible, and we will sue.
02:44This is a complaint from our director of the Ministry of Health,
02:48so that our medical personnel can work for the people
02:52in a safe environment.
02:55I mentioned earlier that she and her husband
02:58have a very good relationship.
03:00Two weeks before the incident,
03:02they went on a trip to Sabah together.
03:06I can only say that this time she was transferred to Sabah,
03:11and what she hoped for was to return to the West Bank
03:15two years later.
