Hello, I am back in Malaysia and in my Day4 of quarantining myself in a hotel in USJ. As a foreign student in a foreign land, I learned a lot and as a government servant myself, I want to treat anyone who comes to Malaysia, the same I was treated in Seoul. This is a thread.

Quarantine D2 was hard, trying to figure out what time the food will come as they stated “lunch commences from 12.00pm onwards & dinner 6.30pm onwards”. It was 2.30pm, I was still talking with Julio on the phone, I didn’t know how many times I peeked out the door to check my meal

Then dinner time, I was hungry, it was 7.40pm so I called reception if the meal comes late, can I just order Chicken Chop from the room service. The reply I got was “kitchen is closed because busy with PUS food” so where is my food? It is on its way, and came half an hour later

On D3 of quarantine I got a hang of the time, so I ate one meal slowly for 2 hours, so that I don’t feel that hungry when my next meal comes late. I decided to finish all the food even though it tasted bad. I missed my Malaysian delights, so I was being positive all day.

D4, as you saw above, that is the Nasi Lemak I got. I saw in the Whatsapp group some of PUS here got mad at the duty manager and being me, I wanted to rant too but I felt bad because everyone else has put a whole lot pressure to him. So, I decided to just eat it.... but...

As I was about to put in my first bite, I got really sad and disappointed, ended up crying, why is this happening to me. It was only sambal and nasi, even the rice is not fully cooked; I was so sad and called the reception again, crying.. asking them “is this all I get?”

They came and knocked after few minutes, left a bowl of curry with an egg (and cucumber in the curry? Who cooked like this) So I earnestly tried to finish this meal but still, I can not stop crying over how sad the meal looks like. All we wish is to be given a decent meal.

I never complained about my stained bedsheet, or molded bathroom, or non functioning plugs. I can bear with all these. I tried my best to endure with everything and how the treatment is given but I don’t think I deserve such a meal, provided I paid for this too.

Not all of us are from Kayangan. I went to Seoul for my country. I went ro learn and what I can upgrade for my city. And I loved how my fellow government officials treated me at the entrance of the airport. Helped me with my 2 big extra luggage. However, ..

A hotel, which is supposed to be the main place where the real Malaysian hospitality to be served at, was this disappointing, I cannot help but to cry. I know it has been hard for the hotel industry too, but this is a chance to proof to us, that we should come again.

Unfortunately this hotel, I will never ever think about having retreat, or training or conference in such a place. Sorry.. most of the other PUS have emailed complaints to NADMA, I will follow suit, I shall. With Ministry of Tourism too. I am too ashemed with this. Disappointing

To prove haha sorry, for the bad grammar

Ashamed.. lol i am ashamed of myself too with this spelling

Of course it is hard for the hotel to suddenly be given a 100 pax of checked in mentally tired customers. I would understand that. I hope things change in few days to come. Please pray for us, so that we are all mentally strong and managed to get through this.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the retweets & pressure upon the management, (they got calls from YB and MAH) we got better food and it came at 6:15PM!! I was so happy when they knocked on my door “Dinner!” I won’t complain more even though they would repeat chicken and fillet everyday

Here’s is to hopefully another good day after this thread went viral. Though I was muted in a FB page. But I think it is relevant to share what we have been going through and how Malaysians were united with this tagline #KitaJagaKita I can not thank everyone enough..

For those who asked regarding NADMA responses, they have responded to an email sent by fellow PUS here, it was said that they have told the secretariat working at this hotel of what is happening. But all in all, I am happy with the food since dinner yesterday. Thanks to everyone!
