Last week, cosmetics millionaire Datuk Seri Aliff Syukri came under the spotlight (and not in a good way) after he expressed his shock when his Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) application got rejected.

Considering his lavish lifestyle, netizens weren’t pleased with his remarks.

And now, he’s back in the limelight but this time, he's being scrutinised by netizens for sharing a few Instagram stories showing that he is now running a face mask business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unhygienic practices

However, what triggered netizens was the fact that he was seen repacking the masks into boxes using his bare hands, and his exposed feet was also touching the boxes that the face masks were supposed to be packed into.

To add salt to the wound, he himself wasn’t wearing his face mask properly.

Many were unhappy with his unhygienic SOP and feared whether his customers would receive face masks that have been exposed to all sorts of bacteria or viruses.


There were also others that tried to see the matter in a more positive light by saying that he probably sanitised his hands prior to packing the face masks.

But evne if that's the case, did he sanitise his feet too?

Whatever the reason may be, no seller or businessman should ever sell face masks repacked in such manner.
