    A lot of mamak and indian shop open 24 hrs cos'

    a)they have enough indian muslim workers to work 12 hrs shift

    b)they are paid low salaries unlike local ones

    c)their food mostly last quite long throughout the day

    d)most of their food are quite reasonable with TV throw in as a value added service which can attract many patrons

    However, one thing i find out on most mamak shops it is not hygienic as the day gets longer.....

    24 hours? Correction. Not all. Some states only allow less than 20 hours for business. Yes, its about the money, and if more than 20 hours and with football attraction, will always attract the crowds and the patrons. I need to eat too and sometimes, I'm hungry after 2am. Where can I go? Mamak 18 hours restaurant.

    Actually, the got shifting rules... some work on morning duty till evening and some at night till early morning... chinese didnt do that coz they need rest. you know, their best worker, the cook cannot work 24/7.. Malay, they work till 9-10 pm and some till 12 pm midnight.. All this are depend on that area, if you being the only customer come at 2am, what is the logic for them to open??

    Anywhere else in the world as well, same pattern Indians work extremely hard in their shops, all down to migration to these places because of poverty generations ago and is inoculated in their offsprings.

    This is the story

    When Neil Armstrong landed in the Moon in his American shuttle, he felt proud of being the first man landing on the Moon, only to see a Indian Keralite Guy bringing him a cup of coffee from his coffee shop in the Moon.

    Becuz Indian shop are good at keeping their cost down by 'recycling', employing very cheap labour plus they got 24 TV for you ...

    'Recycling' here means like they pour back the kuah you didnt finish for your roti kosong ... cheap labour is from India .... For the TV, long time ago it was only Hulk Hogan and friends, now it is EPL and you name it ...
