Spot on. This kind of rot comes from the top down.
It also smells like the manager in question has absolutely no experience with or tolerance of multilingualism. There are times when a multilingual person needs to clarify a translation, usually in the translated language, to be able to properly translate. E.g translation or explanation of idioms.
The article also had a weird segue to the patient requesting non-Aisan nurses... so there's evidence of management acquiescing to racist bullshit.
