Several health experts have taken to Twitter to condemn authorities for spraying disinfectant on undocumented migrants during a raid last night.
This came after authorities purportedly sprayed Dettol disinfectant on immigrants arrested during the raid in Cyberjaya as well as Immigration Department officers participating in the raid.
