While they say they work at the Papa Muda durian stall in full clothes, which is their business as usual attire, the video showing their muscles flexed and cleavers in hand stirred more than just social media buzz, they’ve also prompted an official response from the Health Ministry. “We took off our shirts because it was hot.
