EDIT: Not sure how I can get downvoted to -4 within a couple of minutes of my post. Parent poster literally says
* Society has transitioned to office work rather than manual work
* People can afford larger portions because they are wealthier
while mentioning
* the dry kitchen is inside the house, and is almost a show-piece. The wet kitchen is where the real action happens (albeit by the maid), but is typically a lean-to adjoining the back of the house.
I'm sure the maid doesn't avoid manual work, and a lean-to

literally outside the house is the opposite of an office.
In the United States you have to be extremely wealthy to have a maid, because maids are expensive, since they make a living wage. A normal office job by no means allows for it. Parent's attitude shows vast wealth inequality they seem completely blind to. Clearly maids make peanuts, apparently while working in a lean-to outside the home they work for, and without even being considered in the set of "people".
Again I'm not a social justice warrior, not trying to drum up outrage. Parent should have figured this out for themselves and edited their comment, I shouldn't be at -4 for requesting a light edit.
To make sure I was rooted in facts, after this edit I googled "malaysia wealth inequality" - which I didn't know anything about, the only thing I knew is what I read from parent post's attitude - and got a Wikipedia page that says "Malaysia has the highest income disparity between the rich and poor in Southeast Asia, greater than that of Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia."
I'm not "outraged" at the parent poster or anything like that, I'd just request a tiny amount of sensitivity.
