Stink goes beyond the court premises


IT has been reported widely that the toilets and other parts of the court complex in Kuala Lumpur are stinking after the cleaners allegedly went on strike because they have not been paid since Ramadan (which was more than two months ago).

The situation was reported to be so bad that the honourable judges resorted to cleaning their own toilets in the premises, and one of them was reported to have said that she would be bringing her domestic worker to clean her chambers, courtroom and wash rooms and pay her extra for doing the job, “Liew raises a stink over court complex” (Sunday Star, July 29).
