RIYADH: Oil giant Saudi Aramco has come under fire after photos showing one of its migrant workers wearing a surgical mask and a large hand-sanitiser dispenser went viral on social media. Twitter users described the images posted on Tuesday as “racist” and “classist” as the worker appeared to be walking around distributing sanitiser to staff members inside and outside one of its buildings. One Twitter user, commenting on the images, said: “Gulf classism. “The company immediately stopped this act and took strict measures to prevent it from happening again,” the statement said. In response to Aramco’s statement, a Twitter user said the company needed to apologise to the “person himself” not to the public.
