In to day news, a woman was threaten by loan shark that if she did not settle the loan outstanding due to them, they would take possession of her household items to compensate for their losses. If the amount is not enough, they might "take care" of her children until she paid all.
What happened here is that the woman is not the person who took the loan, she is just a guarantor who because of her kindness and soft heartiness to help her friend who beg her for the guarantee to took the loan. Now she is deep trouble when her friend fled away.
If you think this is strange and the woman being stupid enough to guarantee for a loan shark loan. Then what about this, a couple of year ago, a contractor was able to use his last influence to secure a government contract worth tens of millions of dollars. But due to his bad credit and reputation, he was not able to find any bank to finance him, so he resort to high interest loan, need less to say, old habit die hard and the high interest loan company only interested in his money not helping him to run the project, so he go broke again.
Talk about stupidity, did he knew that there is venture capital company like Venture Alliance Partners who not only can finance the project, but also can help to manage the fund, cashflow and even provide consultancy support.
If the woman ignorant is stupid, then the contractor is just plan idiot!

On today Star, 28/5/2007, Front Page,
"RM22,500 fine for selling Milo at RM1.80"
The Star reported that a mamak restaurant owner was hit with a RM22,500 (US 6,00) compound fine for selling an Ice Milo for RM1.80 (US0.53) an extra RM0.30 more than the usual price.
That is a hell lot of heavy fine for wanting to earn an extra RM0.30 (less than Us$0.10) Not only did he got the ticket, the enforcement officer also confiscated his stock of drink and food worth RM750 (US$220) and tore down the shop's signboard. The restaurant owner had 14 days to settle the fine, according to the enforcement chief. The action was taken to deter other traders for simply increase their price.
Now that's really a big slap to traders who like to increase their good prices indiscriminately, but a RM22,500 fine for a mere RM0.30 increase for an Ice Milo that cost consumer RM1.80?
I really pity the poor restaurant owner now.

This is no Joking Matter.
May 19, 2007 , Singapore Changi International Airport
A 39 years old woman threatened the air stewardess when she boarded the plane; she told the stewardess that she carried dangerous items with her. The air crews alerted the airport security and detained the woman for further investigation.
Her action had delayed the flight for two and a half hours as the airport authority had to unload all the luggage for security checking in order to ensure the safety of the passenger. It was discovered that it was a hoax.
The airport authority has warned all passengers that never joke with words like “bomb” or “carrying dangerous items” as the penalty if such “joke” is a fine of up to S$100,000 or 5 years imprisonment.
On the seven months, there were two counts of such jokes and the person involved was brought to court. In March this year a 38 years old executive said that he had “bomb” in his sling bag and was charged by the court. It was discovered that the man was suffered from Attention dysfunction syndrome and that had affect his judgment and did not really known what he was saying. He was then sentenced to 200 hours of community labor under parole.
In November last year Australian was fined for S$10,000 for asking the air stewardess where she hide the “bomb”, when he transit Changi Airport. About two months ago, a woman told her daughter that the security check her boots because they wanted to make sure that she did not hide any “bomb”. Her conversation was overheard by the security and they were detained for investigation and unable to board the plane.
A silly teasing got him into trouble.
On the local news, 19/5/2007, Kuching International Airport, A young salesman was carrying expensive ball bearing parts for vehicle into the plane. He had cleared security checking, however, when he boarded the plane, an air stewardess asked him what was he carrying, he teased the air stewardess that the box he carried is “bomb” inside. His joke had panicked the air crews, even though he later explained that he was joking, the air crews informed the security and the 20+ years young man was detained and locked in the cell by the police.
His reckless tease had resulted in the flight delay and also caused his colleague to be interrogated by the police for further investigation, the young man was later release under bond.
The Airport authority and the police had warned all passengers Never Joke with such sensitive wordings and it may result in fine or imprisonment. Some jokes are simple not funny at all but there are still some hard core “joker” wanted to show their sense of humor and caused unnecessary problems for others. Think before your joke while you were in the plane.
Now this is a real Joke but it shows at this time of tense situation, any thing that resemble sensitive wording can get you into trouble.
A man was sitting on his seat and suddenly his noticed that this good friend was sitting a few row in front of him, and he raise his voice and called his friend, “Hi, Jack!” Result, he was detained by the airport authority for attempting to “Hi-Jack” the plane. So never called your friend if his name is Jack in the plane.

This Joke Hurts!
On the local news daily yesterday, a woman was detained by the police for investigation on Attempt to hijacking a plan. The woman told the police, " I was just joking when I said I can hijack the plane."
The woman was detained because the pilot alerted the ground police on an attempt to hijack the plane before the plane landed on the airport. The woman was said to asked to view the plane landing through the cockpit for her 1 and 3 years old daughter. Her request was denied and was asked to go back to her seat for the landing. She was heard to tell the air stewardess that although her 1 and 3 years old were too young, she is old enough to hijack the plane when she wanted to. The steward then informed the pilot who then alerted the police before landing.
The woman was detained by the police for investigation and that was what she said when she was caught " I was just joking when I siad I can hijack the plane."
Hmms Some Jokes really Hurt!

So you think you know your mother well!
I read the following "joke" from a local chinese daily and thought it worth a thought and sharing with my readers on this belated mother's day.
Three brothers all very successful in their business and profession; were chatting after a reunion dinner for their mother's day celebration. And the topic turn to who love their mother the most
The eldest brother said," I bought mom a big house with garden, she love gardening, she will love it."
The second brother said, "I bought mom a Mercedes together and hire a driver to drive her around, she like travelling and visiting friends, she will love it."
The youngest son said, " I knew mom like to read bible, and I spend $120,000 a year for the last 10 years to ask few pastors of a church to train a parrot to memorize the bible. Momm's eyes is weak now, she cannot read the bible, so the parrot will be of great help, she just need to mention the verses, the parrot can raed it out for her. Isn't that wonderful? I knew she will love it!"
Months passed, they all were busy building their business and then mom sent each of them a letter on the gift they gave her on mother's day.
To her esldest son, the letter wrote, "You give me a big house with many rooms and big garden, but I can only sleep in one room and have to clean all the other rooms, too troublesome for an old lady."
To her second son, the letter wrote, " You gave me a big car with a driver, but most of my friends are no longer her and I seldom go out now. Besides, your driver got a bad attitude."
To her youngest son, she wrote, " You really know mom and I love your gift the most. The chicken you gave me, taste very nice!" :-)
To All Mothers, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
