"I was on an Asian airline and the crew serving meals asked me in Mandarin what I wanted to eat. I told them I couldn't speak Mandarin, so they peeled off this sticker that said 'No Mandarin Spoken' (and stuck it) on my chest. I was so embarrassed," said actor Hossan Leong
This does sound a little strange.
However, I like the ending of that quote that you chose to omit:
"...sticker that said 'No Mandarin Spoken' (and stuck it) on my chest. I was so embarrassed," said actor Hossan Leong,
who is also an ambassador for the Speak Mandarin Campaign.
So let me get this straight - An ambassador for the Speak Mandarin Campaign does not speak Mandarin. Sounds like a charlatan to me!
