mentera.org Now Offers To Buy Your PizzaHut Pizza For YOU!
According to this blog entry, PizzaHut has a “Race:” section on the bill. Haris received an email, detailing the alleged use of the “Race:” section. Apparently, and allegedly, if you’re a Malay (nee’ Bumiputra), you don’t need to pay service charges or tax. If you’re, say, Chinese, Indian or Dan Lain-lain, then you kena.
Is this true? Can it be true? Surely not.
However, if it is true, then we here at mentera.org[1] offer our services to the non-Malays who want to eat at PizzaHut. We shall go there with you, order for you … and instead of paying those guys service and govt. tax (which would be 15% of the meal cost), just pay us 7.5% (plus out of pocket expenses, of course). We won’t even eat with you, though if you think we should, we’d be happy to oblige.
[1] Who are of the right race, religion, colour and creed … [2]
[2] Truth be told, I am uncertain of my ancestry. Am some sort of mongrel. Mack is a true blue (well, dark brown actually) Malabari, but his IC says he’s a Malay (by inference). I wanted to file a dispute at the NRD, but they said that they don’t actually have any dispute resolution forms on account of the fact that one’s race is indisputably categorised by the govt.

I went to Pizza Hut and had to pay the service charge. Where do I complain about this? KIMMA says I no longer have a membership — they are only for non-bumi mamaks.

gier/Mack, what’s the big deal ah?
The Mamak and Nasi Kandar establishments have been charging according to race a long time ago with non-Mamaks getting the pricier end of the charges.
Also, to go on the strength of one complaint without verifying with the company seems to be like a knee-jerk response.
Jerk being the operative word.
Oh by the way, Idle Fitri. See you guys and the rest at the nearest Pizza Hut!
