Not one, not two, but this 'mak cik cleaner' can speak three languages!
In a 45-second video that was reposted on the ibangi.my : Bandar Baru Bangi Online Community Facebook page, the woman can be seen wearing a pink cleaning service uniform and holding a mop while explaining how to use the past tense in Bahasa Melayu sentences to Japanese tourists.
She fluently switched between Japanese, English, and Bahasa Melayu when speaking to tourists.
"Sudah makan... sudah tidur. You just add the word 'sudah'. Very easy," the woman explained to the tourists while showing the action of sleeping to explain the word 'tidur'.
The woman and the tourists can also be seen sharing a few laughs in the video before she bows and thanks them for visiting Malaysia.
The video was believed to have been taken in Masjid Negara, Kuala Lumpur.
The woman's fluency in different languages had netizens wondering about her previous professions
Some Twitter users theorised that she used to be a lecturer at a public university, while others thought that she used to work as a tour guide.
Although none of the speculations have been confirmed, netizens feel that the video should be a reminder to be kind and respectful toward everyone regardless of their jobs
It is not easy to become a polyglot and, what's more, to be able to teach others foreign languages in a simple manner, making it easier for them to understand. This woman proved that she can!
Many netizens agreed that she is the reason why we should not judge a book by its cover.
An Instagram user commented on the video, "Don't disrespect other people's jobs. We never know their capabilities. The most important thing is to respect each other. This woman is amazing."
"Never look down (on anyone) and, alhamdulillah, this woman has proven it," commented another.
