Viral Video Of KPJ Klang Hospital Staff Vandalising Kolam!
A video went viral on WhatsApp and TikTok, claiming that a KPJ Klang employee vandalised the Kolam decorative art at his own hospital.
A staff at KPJ Klang. How utterly disrespectful. And he knew he was being videotaped.
MHS Selangor has spoken to the PIC in KPJ Klang. The culprit has been suspended immediately. KPJ Klang is preparing a public apology statement and will be releasing it soon.
The video shows a man, dressed in a blue Baju Melayu with a black songkok shoes, defacing the Kolam that was created for Deepavali at the KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital.
The video appears to be recorded by a lady who eventually commented with humour, “Vandalism”.
