He also accompanied his post with a few screenshots of his WhatsApp conversation with the recruiter, known as Ika.”Is it a sin to be born deaf? When I told (her) that I’m a disabled person, she immediately left me on read. Unprofessional attitude and hiring discrimination against OKU,” Hairul expressed.

Soon after the issue went viral, the management of ZUS Coffee took swift action by coming up with an official statement regarding the matter. According to General Manager Venan Tian, his team has launched an “immediate investigation” to address the case.

It was never our intention to come off as discriminative towards the applicant, and for that, we sincerely apologise. We have never held back from hiring employees of all backgrounds including OKUs, provided they are able to perform all assigned tasks,” Tian explained.

ZUS Coffee has also revealed that they will make sure that the aforementioned recruiter to personally apologise to the applicant, and to reach out to him about other vacancies available at other outlets. “We sincerely apologise from the bottom of our hearts, and we commit to serve our customers better” Tian concluded his statement.
