In 2003, blogger Tony Yew’s wife Audra Atkinson was asked to resign as Malaysia Airlines’s chief stewardess within 24 hours when she was found pregnant with her third child.

She refused to resign and her employment was terminated by the management.
Today, their third child (third princess) is one sweet little girl, thanks to her wise decision for choosing to be terminated instead of terminating THE pregnancy.

Today, 5th September 2007, 9am at Industrial Court #19, Badariah bt. Hassan will preside over Audra’s case, in which in the US, blogger Ghostline said this clause alone (that one would be dismissed if found pregnant during employment) would be sufficient grounds for a class-action gender-discrimination lawsuit against MAS.
Tony, we hope justice will prevail for you, your wife and your kids. As I’m not in town, physically I won’t be able to walk with you, but spiritually, you’ve my undivided support, bro!
Let’s walk together with Tony and Audra, united against sexist employment policy and say no to murder!
