MAS fined for serving meat to a vegetarian
PENANG - A Malaysian court has ordered national flag carrier Malaysia Airlines to pay an Indian man 20,000 ringgit (US$5,700) in damages for serving him meat after he asked for a vegetarian meal. Arvind Sharma, 44, said he vomited after he was served chicken on a flight from Bangalore to Kuala Lumpur in March 2003, the New Straits Times said. A magistrate in northern Penang state ruled that Sharma - a member of the Brahmin caste who claimed he had never eaten meat in his life - should be compensated for the depression, shock, mental anguish and humiliation he suffered. The airline's negligence caused Sharma a "blemish in his code of conduct", the newspaper quoted the judge as saying.

I Guess I would have earned RM60,000.00 if I would have done the same when MAS served me Fish and Chicken at 3 different time on MAS flight. Rather then making a complaint to MAS that earned me little Enrich points and 50% discount on flight to Manila and hassle of meetings with MAS and getting the same blunder again and again ...I should have taken them to court!

I hope I don't go into the habit of challenging in court as many more big companies will have to face the situation. (next will be a bank).

1st They served chicken (flight to Delhi)

2nd They had Solomon fish as appetizer at my VGML meal (India)

3rd They said they did have any VGML even when I have made the pre-booking (Manila)

Congrats Sharma.......

The legend connected with the birth of Pattinathar is as follows : -- The boy was very pious and intelligent, and evinced great interest in learning the Vedas and Sastras. When he was five years old, his father Sivanesar passed away. It was time for Tiruvengadar (Pattinathar) to approach a guru and to be initiated into the worship of Lord Siva. He was very anxious to get a worthy guru. One day Lord Siva appeared in his dream as a Brahmin and asked him to go over to Tiruvengadu the next day (Monday - Tiruvona Star) where a guru would teach him all he wanted to learn. Accordingly, Tiruvengadar went to Tiruvengadu the next day with very great joy and met the same Brahmin who appeared to him in his dream. Immediately Tiruvengadar fell at his feet, and stood before him with his head bowed down. The...
