Dancing nurses get salary cut in Saudi Arabia

Saudi health authorities decided to deduct five days from the monthly salary of some Asian nurses after they were caught on camera dancing inside a hospital.

The health department in the southern Asir province formed a committee to probe a film circulated on social media showing the nurses dancing inside a rest room at the government hospital in Al Majarda city in south Saudi Arabia.

"We have decided to deduct five days from their salaries as a penalty for dancing inside the hospital. We do not tolerate such acts at our health establishments," 'Al Watan' daily said, quoting health department spokesman Saeed Al Nuqair.
