Worrying scenes

According to Shane, it all began when his friend’s cousin tested positive for the virus and was rushed to the Serdang Hospital after complaining of breathing difficulties.

“When she arrived there, there were no beds available for her to lie on, forcing her to sleep on the floor with a blanket underneath.

“There wasn’t enough food, water, or chairs as well. The toilet was unspeakably filthy too.

Claiming that no video recording was allowed at the hospital, let alone a video conference call with family members, Shane said all the videos he posted were secretly filmed by his friend’s cousin.
