Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) chief activist Nadzim Johan is not surprised that paint was splashed on the Damai Service Hospital (Melawati) building this morning.
"I warned that this would happen, that worse things may happen. I even told police this. This is what happens when authorities don't take immediate action on racial issues," he told Malaysiakini .
Nadzim was referring to the case of Naziah Sauni Samat, who
claimed
she was fired from the hospital for insisting on wearing a long-sleeved uniform.
The hospital, however, claimed she was terminated due to disciplinary issues and not because of her uniform, a charge which the nurse denied.
Nadzim said he did not agree with the paint splashing, but said people would retaliate against the hospital using whatever means they can.
"We (PPIM) are taking legal action against the hospital. Maybe they (the attackers) don't have the means to do this, so they do what they can," he said.
Based on CCTV footage, the hospital was vandalised by four men who threw two pails of white paint on two separate entrances of the hospital building.
The pair had escaped on two motorcycles, but the number plates were not legible.
