A government paediatrician in Sarawak, who requested for anonymity, said: “(Being) short-staffed is an understatement".

Is "for" needed?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
The word “for” shouldn’t be there at all.

Not sure about that. It's not needed but I think it can be placed there (grammatically speaking).

@tsarstepan,

it doesn't sound right with "for".

i suppose you could say that someone was "recommended for anonymity"...

The "for" isn't redundant. It's just plain wrong.
