At a car wash recently, two enforcement officers in an official vehicle drove in and asked for the car to be washed. After 20 minutes, they left without paying. When I asked the foreign workers why they did not ask for payment, they just shrugged and walked away saying “what can we do.”
A few weeks ago, a chat with some corporate figures who deal with politicians in power, or their representatives, revealed how those in power use facilities and just walk away without settling their bills.
One of them was terribly upset that the “big names” or their associates who make bookings for groups on behalf of the “bosses” do not even have the courtesy to ask if they have to settle their dues before they leave. Some behave as though it is their birthright, he said.
Another said these freeloaders run up bills ranging from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of ringgit depending on the facilities and the number of days they use the outlet.
