'Under' Takers

Much as I want to believe, Malaysians have yet again shown the world that we, Malaysians, 'tak boleh'. We're so predictable! Nothing surprises anymore!

The 45,000 vacancies 'up for grabs' for locals in the nasi kandar and Indian restaurants were 'thrown down the drain'. A measly 90 inquired but none committed themselves! Malaysians have expressed their point again!

The government, the Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners' Association(Presma) and the Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners' Association failed miserably to make inroads with the locals. Guys, this is not an intricate plot or something! You can do better than that! Of late, you guys are all in a bit of a predicament!

While waiting for another way to bait the locals, what are you(the relevant authorities) doing in the interim? Are you going to launch a major offensive now? Without workers, restaurants are as good as closed and nobody likes that! So, whatever decision you take, you must be rational!
