Alleged slow response to Covid-19 death sparks riot at workers quarters in Melaka

MELAKA: A senior Melaka police officer has warned foreign nationals that they will face the consequences of breaking laws on Malaysian soil.

Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Afzanizar Ahmad issued the warning after a riot at the foreign workers’ hostel at Pantai Puteri here on Thursday night (Aug 12).

The workers were supposedly unhappy with the alleged slow response from security guards in responding to a positive Covid-19 patient who had collapsed and died.
