Malaysian heritage site caught in row over non-local staff

A controversy has emerged in Malaysia after images circulated online showing a migrant worker appearing to guide visitors at the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a prominent heritage site in Kuala Lumpur. Critics are questioning why local staff were not employed for such roles. The images, which gained traction on social media, depicted staff members in KL City Gallery uniforms at the colonial-era landmark. The backlash stems from the perception that non-local workers are being utilized at a significant Malaysian heritage site, raising concerns about local employment opportunities.
