Workers of glove maker WRP Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd were today each paid only RM500 of salaries owed, despite assurance by company shareholder Tael Partners that it has injected RM3.25 million to pay the salaries in full.

The workers were paid in cash, with Tael Partners’ representatives bringing in RM1 million to WRP Asia Pacific’s office in Salak Tinggi, Selangor this afternoon.

The cash was delivered in briefcases to the building accompanied by some 40 security guards, a source from WRP Asia Pacific said.
