Let me give tell u story of how our govt way of working in
getting their money back from you.
4 salesmen (govt), a village with monkeys (average and poor
singaporeans)
In village(HDB houses), there are some monkeys, nobody give a
damn,
One day a saleman came, told the village chief that he will buy any
monkey caught for $100, all the villages start to work and work
(singaporean workaholic), everyone catch monkey to earn that
$100.
Then a few weeks later, another saleman came into the village,
and said I will buy $200 for any monkey caught, the villagers are
now very tired and stressed due to hard work, however in hearing
$200 per monkey, all start to perk up and work again, ever
harder..
Then a few months later, another saleman appeared, and he said,
I will buy the monkey for $500 each. The locals start to work and
work…day and night driving, working, rushing to meet demand, on
calls, and so on.
Then another few months later, a prominent saleman arrived, he
told the villagers, look, I am not going to buy any monkey, but I
would like to sell monkeys to you, because, monkey are getting more
and more expensive, more so as it is getting lesser in yr village,
I sell you now, later when another saleman come, he will ask for
$1000 per monkey, and I am now selling you $750 take back all the
monkeys you sold plus many other monkeys in my warehouse.
The villagers heard already, so happy, everyone grab for the
monkeys for $750 each, paid and wait for the next saleman…..but the
next saleman never come.
I hope you see the moral of this story
