Signs of progress

The younger sister with her mother in front of their stall

Almost a year ago, while driving up to C Highland, I stopped at Lata Iskandar for a short break. Somehow I got into a conversation with two orang asli sisters who were manning their parents store. Last week I passed through the same place and what did I find? The younger sister is still manning the store but is now driving a new car while the elder sister is not there anymore. She is now an air stewardess with MAS! Wow! Not bad!

Hi last year I went to Cameron Highland and we stopped right where you did. I spoke to one of the orang asli there, and she told me her sister got married witha an english man. She received 30K for her hantaran. Not bad huh?
