kuala lumpur • A court has ordered Malaysia’s national airline to pay a Brahmin Hindu 20,000 ringgit (£2,900) to compensate him for mental anguish suffered as a result of being served a chicken meal during a flight, local media reported yesterday.

Arvind Sharma, a cargo agent for Dell computers in India, experienced depression, shock, stress and humiliation after the chicken meal on the Malaysian Airline System flight from Bangalore to Kuala Lumpur four years ago, magistrate M Rajalingam said.

“Being born in a Brahmin family, having been brought up in the Brahmin way of life and being a vegetarian accords him a social status and is addressed with the honorific ‘Pundit’ in India,” Rajalingam was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.

“The torture committed upon him in this instance has been fortified by the evidence that he is a strict Brahmin who has never consumed meat in his life.” Arvind threw up after tasting the chicken, the report said, having originally ordered a vegetarian meal.

OMG...! This is worse than the Parisian Hotel crisis earlier this week. What is the world coming to?

Is the guy blind or just plain stupid. I don't think it would be too hard to tell a vegitarian meal from a chicken meal. I love the phrase "The torture committed upon him", maybe he should sue the airline for attempted murder... :sarcasm:

They'd have to charge ME with murder if I could get my hands on him...

I don't know. What if the guy had a food allergy and went into anaphylactic shock or a diabetic who asked for the sugar free meal and was served the wrong one.? I think this case is grossly exaggerated and shouldn't have gone anywhere near a courtroom, but what can you do.

It's utterly having to do with Hindu society and has nothing to do with health. They smudged his uniform and he had a hissy fit. The guy is living in a dream to sue over a triviality. It shows lack of character that he cannot overcome a minor slight.
