Do You Realize That You Are A Low Class Tourist?

Yes, you are if you fit all criteria below:
You are a Malaysian
You are traveling and holidaying in Malaysia (own country)
You don’t drive expensive cars

Surprised? We don’t think so. We know all of us (average middle-class people) had a fair share of bad experiences before, mostly from the local hotels or resorts people. They prefer to treat foreigners than locals. Better. Those guys have money, more money than the locals. They have gold and platinum credit cards, not the locals. They give tips, not the locals. They are modern and urban people, not the locals. They seem to be a nice people, not the locals. We guess there are lots of more reasons that we couldn’t think of right now.

We recalled one of many bad experiences we had. This one was in Penang late last year. We had made a reservation in one of a so-called high-end hotel which we can't mentioned the name here.
First, when we arrived, there were no hotel’s staffs helping us to bring our bags in from the car. But the funny thing was that, the foreigners coming out of a taxi in front of us were welcomed like a king and queen. Oh ya, we forgot. We only a Malaysian, traveling and holidaying in our own country and just drive a Malaysian made car. No class at all, compare to those BMWs and Mercedes Benz.

The ‘king and queen’ check-in session were done within 20 minutes. During our own check-in session, we were made to wait for 3 hours. Somehow, the rooms are not yet ready, and there were several people from Singapore who came later than us, taking up our turn to check-in. No wonder, these foreigners were taking up all the expensive rooms, compare to us who only able to afford a deluxe room. If it’s not due to our yelling, we guess the check in session will be 5 – 6 hours more. And the face of the front office clerks were like a piece of sh*t. Oh ya, we forgot. We only a Malaysian, traveling and holidaying in our own country and just drive a Malaysian made car. No class at all, compare to those BMWs and Mercedes Benz.

Lots of yelling came during the next day. We just want to skip those stories. Those people are so rude! Oh ya, we forgot. We only a Malaysian, traveling and holidaying in our own country and just drive a Malaysian made Proton Perdana car. No class at all, compare to those BMWs and Mercedes Benz.

Despite all these 'BS', Malaysia is still the best.
