This morning was a typical start... my schedule was derailed by emails and Watsapp messages.
Needing to rush to Shah Alam to collect the Lexus RX, it was a late breakfast at 11am later.
The above intro to my day is not my grouse.
I stopped by Empire Subang for a quick bite before a meeting with a client.
By nature, I rarely complain about bad service from foreigners.
At Teh Tarik Place I ordered half boiled eggs that became a fried, sunny side up, while toast bread without kaya came with kaya.
I wasn't mad at the Myanmar staff because it was obviously down to a communication breakdown.
More than that, I am shocked that no Malaysian wants to work as waiters anymore.
These days, most, if not all, restaurants use hardworking Myanmar nationals.
At 46 this year, I looked back to the time when I was a 17-year-old working at A&W.
I had no problems with being a waiter and doing other duties like painting or banking the days earnings.
All I wanted was to learn more and earn money so that I didn't have to burden my parents anymore.
So what happened to us, Malaysia?
Where did we go wrong?
