tips should only be given if they perform, not that they deserve it. hell, we paid for their services.
from now onwards, tipping is my choice, pls don’t force me to tip if i dun feel like tipping. no group tipping for me pls. have to take consideration into other’s feelings as well.
not everyone sit in office with 5 digit pay. some have to work extra hard, work extra shift, work extra everything just to make this trip a success. some had to sell their tackle stuff. some just lost their job or in their midst of changing jobs. some sacrificed family time and work commitments just for the sake of camaraderie and friendship.
from what i hear (since its my 1st trip anyway), everytime same thing happen. bukan boatman KNN kalu, boat got problem. can u believe a boat that has no GPS, no walkie, no anchor? and boatman no handphone? WTF? stranded boat have to drift to sinkapok?
we come from far just to fish, 1600km+ round trip. and its not like a last minute thing. it was planned since beginning of the year. so with that in mind, at least the charter should get their boats in tip-top condition, and get their boatmen in the spirit. if they think that we’ll pay no matter what, then its wrong mentality. waiting for tips then only perform, is totally wrong.
see their faces already potong steam. next time mintak refund. customer always right, right? [:D]
the difference of prices between rompin & merchong is due to the boat service. u pay for what u get. pay peanuts, get monkeys. pay bananas, get elephants. so if anyone wants to be treated like a superstar, the go rompin, and pay superstar prices. or if u think u can handle merchung then continue la.
i find it unfair that there were some of us who got sidelined. i also understand they do not intend to bring it up due to many reasons.i thought everyone paid the same amount, and should receive the same treatment. i was lucky i was not on the receiving end thanks to my hardworking teammates, but yet i cant help but to feel sad/disapointed/angry for some of my friends like takin’s team and syed alwi’s team. my boatman was totally not communicating with us.
i think merchung should buck up. and we should voice out. if they choose to squander then i’ve nothing to say but to look for greener pastures.
at least that will make 4 days and 3 nights and 800kms to and fro more enjoyable
this is business, not charity or Merchung Old Folks Home.
i think i will email zarina and let her know, but i think she already does.
sorry if anyone got offended. i apologize for being rude but i still have to voice this out.
that being said, im not pouring cold water on anyone. in fact, i thank everyone for the support to make this a success. organising on this big a scale is an achievement in my books, and the Lan deserves a pat on his back for a job well done.
there were no winners or losers this time round. just idiotic boatmen with f*cked up attitude with idiotic boats.
