A shocking image has surfaced which shows the moment a servant was forced to sit on a separate table while the family who employs her enjoyed a meal in a restaurant.

The photograph clearly shows the family tucking into a feast while the maid sits close by and can only watch with nothing to eat or drink. This family clearly have the self-awareness of Donald Trump.

A local man, Michael Fanny, posted the photo he took in Jakarta on social media.

He wrote in Indonesian: "Your pembantu (servant) is part of your life. A reflection of your humanity. Imagine you are in their position, no phone to hold, not invited to eat, eyes just looking around.

"We must respect and love our maids, our drivers, our gardeners ... Life is not about profits and loss, it is not about ourselves.

"By sharing a little of what we have then we are sharing the love of God. #respectotherpeople #respectourmaid #respectourdriver #loveotherpeople #Godislove."

The post has since been shared nearly 60,000 times. It's a shocking scene, although it is common in Indonesia for wealthy families living in the city to employ domestic workers from rural areas.

But never mind that. The family might want to take note of the fact the image went viral after many around the world sympathised with the maid.
