Bawa orang macam bawa ayam. Di mana sifat peri kemanusiaan...

We stay at home, they go to work. 1.57 mil approved to go around to work. B40 M40 are crying. Big bosses are laughing.

WTH!

Name of the company?

Abuse of human rights ni

Treating them as if they're kind of zombies 😅

AA you owe us an explanation!

please take action against the employer too

When I saw this photo, I thought about the many movies and TV shows on slavery. Scenes where slaves were transported in carriages, like animals ready for slaughter. It saddens me that it is happening in Malaysia. Where is our humanity? 🥺😢

Could be just a tip of the iceberg …

Terrible employer.

Macam ayam pulak dibuatnya....mashaallah. treat all human equally. Saman je majikan dia berganda2!

Yes ... But please also summon the lorry owner that receive order/job from the person that ask them to ferry the workers. Dont forget to summon the person that order the lorry too. The driver may be at fault, but he was asked by his employer for the customer.

Heading towards Sanusi's

Human Resources Minister, question this inhuman treatment of workers, accommodation. Beginning to think of the factory & it’s cleanliness, hygiene environment

Whoever allowed this should be seriously punished. Animals should not be transported like that, let alone people…on top of everything, sick people!!! Malaysia, you are better then this.

DGHisham Waw kite mesti ikut arahan SOP ,,

This is Forced labor situation

Employers like these shd be blacklisted and not allowed to hire migrant workers. They don't seem to have any inclination towards human decency

Ish Tak malu nye Malaysia.. negara luar tengok ... malu la kat org...

DGHisham Serious. Kesian kt dorg ni. Knp tk provide bus utk bwak dorg ke tmpt kuarantin. Kalau pon tkda transport yg elok, tkkn la angkut dgn lori. 😔
