And I was humbled at that moment. I therefore froze it for the future.
Cleaning has still to be done by hands and the minority women are still needed. The robots have not yet reduced women labour to nil. The cleaner here has a family to feed and she needs the work to survive!!
If only we can see the synergy of two different technocultures : human labour and high tech and appreciate them side by side.
If only we can see the synergy of different races together in Malaysia : different races working side by side in true harmony and with real understanding.
Have you ever been humbled by such a scene?

Dear Ah Ngao
Thanks for visiting! Yes the big bird is incredible. I used to watch the Dakotas and the Twin Pioneers flying from the old Sibu Airport with my parents and siblings. Then I watched the smaller planes coming down to the Limbang Airport /airstrip every day for a year.
Airplanes always amaze me. And so do the support staff.
I see the aerobridge. Where was this photo taken?

Did your grand dad and dad have to build the road to the Sibu Road. My Dad said the Foochows and the Cantonese had to be kept apart because they fough.
This was taken at KLIA a few weeks ago.
My dad had to rise before six and walk barefooted to the airport to level the airport with a changkol and bungki. He was beaten often and was in prison until my grand dad asked a Foochow man who could write Japanese to vouch that he was not an enemy of the Japanese. He was release but Grand Dad had a bad cut in the face. My father lived for another 20 years with a painful chest. He died of heart failure at 56 in 1965. Too young!!
I believe it was those days that your dad and my dad became friends.
