The POWER of MONEY

Yesterday I was waiting at the bus-stop outside my camp to take a bus to CCK MRT station when suddenly I saw one guy walking towards the bus-stop from the camp too...

Initially I thought I saw the wrong person only after a few seconds it took for me to adjust to the fact that someone has just fallen from grace. This guy used to be driving Merc or BMW Cars to camp very regualarly. But after having revoked his license for 1.5 years due to drunk driving, he has no other choice but to take public transport like many of us do. To him, he always feel that he has done NOTHING wrong even though it's quite clear cut he he has done wrong n needs to be punished. Using the excuse that he needs to FURTHER his studies to get his MASTER degree after NS is like a shield to help him reduced a supposedly "7 days SOL" to just a "7 days EXTRAs".

What does this show? The power of MONEY simply allows u to bend the rules and allow u to play thru the loopholes of all the rules and regulations. It's quite sad when u see that justice is not done against such ppl, but apparantly, there's nothing u can do. All u can do is to heave a sigh that who ask u to be forced to serve in this poor management organization whereby those ppl "up there" are just a bunch of idiots who are just so sick of doing the "right things" even though they know they should do, but in order to "save trouble + cover backside", they rather resort to ignorance and allow bad practices to flourish in the place. For these group of people "up there" are going to work for perhaps 20 years or more, would they risk their career for such trival stuff? But most importantly, I feel that it is because these small group of people have grown sick and tired of their jobscop that they can't be bothered to improve on the system. All they have in their mind is to serve for the sake of MONEY so that they can support their family, their spouse and children and parents etc.

In order to support the above-mentioned statement, I did ask around this "group of ppl" that's gonna work for like till they retire, and I asked them did they choose to work because of the interest or money, and it seems like almost 100% of them say that of cuz it's because of money due to circumstances to support their family/earn a living that's y they choose to pick this "iron rice bowl".

And what happenes as a result? These "large group of ppl" inclusive of me that's like just going to work in this organization for just 2 years suffer under the hands of these "minority group that works permenantly till they retire". What to do? I'm not a rich kid. If I am, I can choose to migrate and stuff like that, but too bad I am not. So what's the morale of the story again?

Money does make the world spins!
