M'sian man in Bali restaurant asked by 2 Chinese women to pay for their meal, told 'M'sia belongs to China'

A Malaysian man travelling in Bali, Indonesia, encountered two Chinese women at a restaurant who asked him to pay for their meal under the pretext that Malaysia and China are "one family".

In an Instagram video by user @Hawwerdloh_ug996, the women also claimed that "Malaysia belongs to China".

The man, surnamed Loh, was at a restaurant in Bali when two Chinese women approached him, asking if he was Chinese.

The women claimed they didn't have enough cash to pay for their meal, but that was apparently untrue.

Loh reminded travellers to be wary of scammers when travelling abroad and to be cautious when facing situations such as these.

Claimed they didn't have enough money

In the video, Loh told the women he was Malaysian, not Chinese, when they approached him.

The women claimed that they only brought six banknotes with them and were missing two more to complete their bill.

Loh said he swiped his card to pay for his own meal, and one of the women asked him to swipe his card for them.

He refused, saying that if he did, he and his friends would not have enough either, as they were going back to Malaysia soon.

He asked the women if they brought anything with them, and the women said they did not bring enough cash.

When Loh questioned the women, asking them if they didn't bring their cards either, they responded that they did not because they went diving.

"Please, I'm begging you, we are one family"

Noting that they all spoke Chinese, one woman said: "Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked you for help, brother. Please, I'm begging you, we are one family."

Loh said he was Malaysian and disagreed.

One woman retorted that "Malaysia belongs to China", to which Loh rebutted her.

However, she insisted and added that since "only you guys can speak Chinese, who should we contact?"

Loh said that there should be many other people outside who are of Chinese nationality.

The two women eventually left after Loh refused to budge and give in to their demands.

Waiter shows receipts

A waiter later came up to Loh's table and showed him the women's receipt, asking if Loh had indeed tried to pay for them, to which Loh said he did not.

The waiter showed the bill and the cash the women gave, claiming that the women did have money but refused to pay.

"They want [a] discount and cannot pay, and after that they say 'food no good' but [the food] finish already," said the waiter.

The waiter said that after he pressured the women to pay, the women took out their cards and money. However, they allegedly did not pay the full bill.

Loh concluded his video by urging members of the public to remain cautious in light of the prevalence of scams these days.
