Family can’t afford for her to go to Bali, says brother
In the video, the young woman was seen arguing with her brother as she insisted on going on a graduation trip to Bali.
However, her older brother disagreed, saying the family had no money and had already mortgaged their house to pay for her education, according to Malay-language newspaper Kosmo.
The siblings’ mother reportedly cleans other people’s homes for a living while the brother works freelance to support them.

Woman said she would lose face if she did not join Bali trip
However, the woman said she would lose face if she did not join the trip with her friends, adding:
No matter what, I still want to go!
She reportedly claimed that if the family sold the house, she would reimburse them as soon as she found a job.
Netizens outraged by woman’s demands
While the young woman’s identity is unclear, netizens across social platforms were outraged by her demands, calling her ungrateful and sympathising with her family members.
They pointed out that the woman does not know how fortunate she is, as some people have to work to send themselves to school.

They also said she needs to be less prideful and should not live beyond her means just to keep up with her friends’ lifestyles.

One user added that she could instead find a job to earn money to travel, adding that Bali would still be around in the meantime.

Some also said that, unlike what the young woman believed, it can be difficult to find a job and earn money to reimburse her family for the cost of selling their home.
