Some voiced criticism, arguing that the meat would have been better allocated to local residents, questioning whether the migrant workers deserved to receive it.
However, amidst the divisive comments, voices of reason and compassion emerged.
Many Malaysians swiftly condemned the xenophobic undertones of the criticism. They highlighted the fundamental principle of Qurbani, emphasizing that the meat is a form of sadaqa (charity) intended for distribution to those in need, regardless of nationality or background.
