Kuala Lumpur court complex rid of dis-odour thanks to judges, officers, lawyer

KUALA LUMPUR: Judges, lawyers and court staff gathered to clean up the Kuala Lumpur High Court after its janitors went on strike following a pay dispute with the contractor. 

Approximately 200 magistrate and session court staff and officers, judges and a lawyer were divided into 14 sections for the clean-up that started at 10am on Sunday (July 29).

In the clean-up, corridor floors were mopped and swept and all toilets were cleaned on all eight floors of the court complex.

The clean-up was led by Chief Justice Tan Sri Richard Malanjum and Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Zaharah Ibrahim was also present.

Janitors at the court have gone on strike since the fasting month as they have not been paid.

It is also learned that cleaning services should not have stopped as the Government had paid the contractor in advance till the end of the year.
