Agreed with you.

This is the problem with almost all the Batam's massage shops (as well as other service sector too). And in my own opinion, its a rather major one,hehehe...that is when business becomes very good or at times too good, standard drops...sometime quite tremendously.

Just my experience.

My solution would be, let their business drop a little so as to bring about a better standard of service? My question mark in the sentence is becos i do not know if it will work,hehehe...

Most boss and owner of those smaller/medium sized service sector business in Batam dont take in feedbacks/opinion from customers, that could just be one of the key issue on them unable to take keep good service consistently.

Just sharing.

Many of their customers come from other parts of Indonesia (in tour groups). Meaning their customer could be mainly Indonesians.

Next time if you are ever in Batam, try places like Namii (harbour bay), Tui Na (opp BCS) and maybe even Favorite Massage (diagonally right side of BCH main entrance or Harapan Baru hotel).

Quality of massage is on par, if not better than Sports massage. Yes, i dare say this loud here its BETTER becos it suits me most in those places consistently. And more important key thing is, its cleaner and feel more upscale as compare to Sports massage too.

Price wise, hehehe...i am a more stingy man when it comes to this kind of thing in Batam, and i would say, its almost the same in term of pricing and i feel i am getting more than what i can get from Sport Massage.

7 years in Batam, if i didnt remember wrong, i have only been to Sport Massage twice. Both times were all with friends. Perhaps its due to where i stayed in during my time in Batam, hence seldom go there (need to be fair when sharing my experience).

Sometime, its really hard to say who from which country brought what virus or bacteria to another country.

Some Indonesian blame Singaporean and Japanese of bringing in the virus, then Singaporean and the Japanese blame who? China? Then China blame who? The Bat? Bat blame who? Blame God? God blame who? The man/woman in China who ate the bat? But the man or woman who ate the bat probably already died.

So how? Blame here blame there, problem still cannot solve.

Singapore happens to have part of the solution, and Indonesian man came to seek it. Which also happens to be the only way to solve part of the problem.

Hehehe...so the lesson here is, dont laugh at people just yet and pass any judgement on a group of people from any country.

Kiasu isnt just a Singaporean's trend. May happen to any country in the world too.

The solution/s (on the DOs and DONTs) :

Practice good hygiene habits.

Plus my own add-on solution, by boosting immunity.

The rest will need to leave it in the hands of heaven/fate.
