Dining Dangerously

Just when you thought it's safe to patronise Nasi Kandar restaurants again, a little girl was attacked in the ladies' room while her parents were having dinner under the same roof! This usually peaceful small town is abuzz with talks about this unfortunate incident in the toilet of a popular Nasi Kandar joint. The pervert was said to be a foreign worker of the restaurant.

The parents didn't suspect anything when she came out of the ladies crying and too scared to tell them anything. But later the poor girl related her ordeal to her shocked parents in the car on their way back. After making a police report, they then went back to the restaurant with other male members of the family to look for the man's scalp.

During the commotion, two of my friends who were dining there noted that a waiter was quietly driven away in a car through the back alley. He can hide but I'm sure he'll never get away with what he had done. Had the little girl told her parents in the restaurant, it would have definitely started a free-for-all.

News is going to spread very fast; the management is certainly going to have a very tough PR exercise to do, again. Not even having a popular preacher as Chairman of the Board is going to help this time. Perhaps the good ustaz should start preaching about decent behaviour to his own workers now.
