I met Wayan in the lobby of a hotel in Legian a few days ago,He had visibly aged since we last met last year,had the chance to sit down and chat with him about his personal situation and The Pubs story.
The owners son took over management and started funnelling profits out to other family projects,yes you guessed it ,no more wages being paid out.
Wayan,s wife gave up after 4 months,and Wayan himself gave up after SEVEN months without pay!!.After an astonishing 31 years of service.
So sad to see one of the nicest most genuine people you would meet in the entire world treated so poorly.The Pub which my friends and family have visited religously ever trip is never to be visited again.
Wayan himself can be found working the nightshift security detail(brought a tear to my eye) at the secret garden inn,which is down poppies lane.Im sure
better things will unfold in the future for this man and his family
Cheers Sean
