Energy giant Saudi Aramco has sought to distance itself from accusations of “racism” triggered by images of a migrant worker wearing a dispenser to hand out sanitiser to white-collar staff.
“Saudi Aramco would like to express its strong dissatisfaction with this abusive behaviour ... without the approval of the company,” the energy giant said on Twitter late on Tuesday. The foreign worker, not identified in the images, “must be compensated for this humiliating act”, another Twitter user wrote.The petro-state is home to millions of low-income foreign workers employed in blue-collar jobs largely shunned by Saudis.
Saudi Arabia has cordoned off the mainly Shiite district of Qatif, halted flights to and from 14 countries and closed schools and universities, in a package of measures to contain the virus.
