Expatriate's are not slaves......dont discriminate or treat them badly.

You know what really sickens me? The fact that many people think they have the right to mistreat an expatriate.

A fine Example which actually took place:

I was sitting in Moden a few months back during the free time I had before tution. And it so happened that there was a water supply cut and the whole area did not have any access to water. SO moden being a eating corner and all, WATER is essential.
Cuz without water, you cant wash plates and stuff and all......
So in order to overcome this problem, I think the owner gave the order to his workers to serve food in polystyrene plates and drinks in those disposable cups.

(Anyone who ever went and had a makan session in Moden near the Sunita area would clearly know that all the workers there are mostly from India and Indonesia.)

So here I was with my friend, just having a normal meal when this guy walks in and sits at the table in front of me and orders for a teh tarik. When the waiter brings his teh tarik, this guy starts harassing the workers. The whole entire issue was that, the polystyrene cups they were using to serve drinks were smaller than the usual glass, hence the quantity is less but the price remains the same.


I mean dude, seriously try and understand the situation here. There is no water supply, and the workers cant make any decision of their own. They HAVE to follow the orders given to them by their boss. The most infuriating part is when this guy starts scolding the poor waiter who must have been new to the job and doesnt even know how to communicate properly in Malay.


If he had some issues over a RM 1.20 teh tarik being served in a smaller quantity, for heaven's sake go find the boss (who usually sits near the counter). Can you just try and put yourself in the shoes of these poor people. They come to a foreign land with hopes of making money so that they can support their families back home. Though you dont seem to see the hardship faced by these people, it is present. Just cuz you see them joking around and smiling doesnt mean that they dont have worries and hardship.

Us who are living in such luxury, leading a very lucullan lifestyle seem to overlook some of the basic values which are important to be practiced. Discrimination and Supression isnt somthing which we should take on. Much to my dissapointment, these are the very values practiced by many teenagers and children. That guy whom I just told you about (the one who was scolding the waiter)....well, he is just 18.

My point is, just because we are in more better situation than some people, (who expecially are foreigners to this country)....we shouldnt forget that we are all equal. WE breath the same air, My blood is not gold and you blood aint silver....its all just a bunch of blood cells in plasma. So next time, before you get all consumed with anger and decide to go screw aomeone verbally (expecially if they are foreigners trying to make a living), think twice and ask yourself how you would fell if you were treated so badly.

I know this whole post seems soo fulled with rubbish...gramatically not perfect or watever...but i just hope u atleast understand why I feel the way I feel on this issue.
