A staff member from KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital (KPJ Klang) is now in hot water for destroying a “kholam” floor decoration made specially for Deepavali.
Destroyed ‘kholam’ with his feet
In a 39-second clip which has gone viral on Twitter, it showed the staff member dressed in a songkok and blue baju Melayu stepping on the ‘kholam’ design.
He also scattered parts of the ‘kholam’ with his feet.
