Images shared on social media show some of the workers gathering at the hospital’s compound.

KUANTAN: Operations at Rompin Hospital and the delivery of healthcare services remain unaffected following a workers' gathering that went viral on social media yesterday, says the Pahang Health Department.

The department said in a statement today that it had taken the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of healthcare services at the hospital.

"The public is advised not to speculate and developments related to the matter will be communicated through official channels from time to time," the statement said.

The department noted that 24 workers from a non-concession company, comprising cleaning and landscape maintenance personnel, were involved in the gathering.

"The issues raised by the workers were resolved after the company paid their salaries at 12pm yesterday," it said.

A video clip that went viral yesterday showed a group of workers gathering at the hospital to seek explanations over allegations that their Employees Provident Fund and Social Security Organisation contributions had not been remitted despite salary deductions. - NST
