Veena admitted to feeling homesick whenever she was away at work but said her mother’s encouragement never fails to strengthen her resolve to build a career that is synonymous with glamour and rarely pursued by members of her community. "Seeing Orang Asli joining an airline as cabin crew is an eye-opener for many people. But it shows indigenous people too can pursue the same dreams as other communities,” said Veena Angelina when contacted by Bernama recently.
Veena Angelina, who holds a Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia certificate, said what attracted her to the airline industry was the stylish appearance of flight attendants she often saw on television."The job of a flight attendant is not as easy as it seems," she said. Sarah Elissa Tang Aman, 24, originally from Kampung Sungai Miak, Bentong, Pahang, and raised in Damansara, Selangor, said that initially during the training period, she and the three other Orang Asli trainees often felt inferior for being the minority."We all cried together because we felt isolated and had a hard time adjusting, compared to others, during the training.
