During the economic slump in Asia, companies required to sack workers. Labour laws made it difficult to sack without compensation. Hence many companies resorted to issuing false AIDS certificates to workers, which provided the grounds for immediate termination. This man with an AIDS certificate does not know what AIDS is.
