BACK TO THE PAINS OF REALITY


Finally, the dust is settling down albeit very slowly. Some couldn't even see the sun shine! Why?Because human is more often than not are blinded by greed. Well, it is acceptable that probably 70% of those involved were devoid of any knowledge on how money supposedly could grow on trees. But the leaders could never pledge ignorance as an excuse.


And yet, alas the supposedly good times did come to an end. With the Securities Commision and Bank Negara putting their feet down, nothing could escape their net. And so that was the death of money games, from Swiss Cash, P.I. Club, EA Index, ABB Fund, FQ Fund, Gin Li, Sweden Fund, Arabic.com and countless more. At one point a new 'program' emerged almost every other day!


And people rushed onto the bandwagons of Internet Investments. Some to the tune of 100s of thousand ringgits. Some lost their life savings. And worse still, some lost their borrowed money.


And the con artists? One guy bought himself a round-eyed Merz for cash along with a brand new pretty young wife. He purpotedly was said to have amassed in excess of a cool RM400,000 in just less than 3 months! The inner circles had it, that some early bids were related to have made RM600,000 to RM800,00 a month for quite a while prior to the collapse.


It is sad to note that so many people lost their hard earned money over night. During the frenzy, it was just almost impossible to advise anyone even those closest to you of the truth of the matter.


But again, the lessons so blatantly forced onto me was, MONEY IS THICKER THAN BLOOD; IN BUSINESS OR POLITICS, ALIKE. So stop being so sentimental.


But than again, has everybody ceased to become fools? NOPE! There are still so many BLOODY FOOLS willingly to be taken for aride another time on a differently painted bandwagons around.


May Allah bless all of them. Money has never grown on trees and shall never will.



So long folks,

MA.

Mentakab. (Where a good plate of fried Mee Zainal is still less than RM3.00 a plate, and fresh patins a 10 minute drive to Temerloh}. Is life bad?
