Resorts should cater to people of all religious beliefs

I HAD the good fortune to visit Langkawi recently and stay at one of its beautiful resorts.

I noticed that apart from several Westerners, there were many tourists from Asia, especially the Indian subcontinent.

The resort offered quite a spread for breakfast but on several occasions the only meat served was beef.

When one of the Indian tourists remarked over the choice of menu, the captain’s reply was that they only served American breakfast.

I found it rather unfair to those Indians who had coughed up huge sums to reside in these resorts but were being short-changed, having to make do with merely toast.  

I pondered why, despite the country being a multiracial country, the religious sentiments of Indians had not been taken into account.

It is perfectly fine to include beef in the menu but is it too much to ask that another meat be served as well?
