She said:
"Thank you very much. I'm so happy... I really want to say thank you very much because even most times when I'm on that queue, whenever I call HR, she's always... like, she's always so understanding, and I really appreciate."
And even when I come to the office, and I'm sad because of whatever happened on the queue, like my friends, they are always...
...They always try to cheer me up. And lastly, I'm so happy that my voice was actually heard because I just went on Twitter and people are tagging me to all the provided buses. I never knew that it's going to get that big. So like, I really want to say a very big thank you."
