Security guards receive RM240 after staging protest

KOTA BARU: A day after school guards in Machang took to the streets to air their grievances over unpaid wages, their employer paid them RM240 each.

The security services company promised to start paying the guards in stages beginning yesterday. The amount, however, was far from enough for them to even settle their house rent. The guards claimed that the payment they received was only about 10% of the amount due to them.
