I have quite often heard people wanting to organize “Homestay”, in their respective Administrative District, in their Kampong, in their neighbourhood and probably in their houses. It sounds so simple, so easy but do many realise the trappings in such a project. Bear in mind that these people who come to stay are actually paying guests, in other words they are strangers, they are most probably tourists, they have expectations, they have no feeling towards you and they expect the best that you can offer to them and they expect home comfort; home means what they get in their abode, in their home, in places where they actually permanently or semi-permanently stay or live. Thus those wanting to provide such facilities must actually understand their guests background, their habits, and their living conditions and their language, if not fully at least respect them to a degree that the guests would like to respect those of the hosts.
I am writing this because I have information that many Lipat Kajang-ites may try to venture into “Homestay”.
One good example of “Homestay” in operation is in Kampong Desa Murni, in Kerdau, the neighbouring kampong. If one were to surf their internet site one would see that they have almost a very formal organisation. They have what I term as the Principal Organiser and cooperating with him are the kampong folks. Look at the list of names and addresses in the kampong, one can see that it takes a lot of work to get the kampong folks to have their names listed. The Principal Organiser must have spend sometime to get the cooperation of his co-kampong folks.
Lipat Kajang-ites will have to undergo a process of learning, will need to mount on the learning curve before they can even be though fit to start the “Homestay” scheme. The success or failure of the “Homestay” scheme in a kampong looks like very much dependent on the whole kampong putting together the ‘host’ act and pieces as a whole to the satisfaction of the “Homestay” guests.
