Probe on abuse claims at old folks home

SEREMBAN: The state Welfare Department is probing allegations that some residents of a private old folks home here have been subjected to abuse after pictures of the purported acts went viral.

Yesterday, four ex-staff members came forward with more claims of abuse, including residents being forced to drink their own urine and given extra sleeping pills since the home opened three years ago – all of which have been denied by the owner, Azrin Shala.
