Temasek Review
During a
robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank:
"Don't
move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone
in the bank laid down quietly.
This is
called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.
When a lady
lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be
civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is
called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!
When the bank
robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber
(who has only completed Year 6 in
primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."
The older
robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it
will take us a long time to count. Tonight,the TV news
will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is
called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper
qualifications!
After the
robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police
quickly. But the supervisor said to him:
"Wait!
Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70
million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.
This is
called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your
advantage!
The
supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."
This is
called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your
job.
The next day,
the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers
counted and counted and counted,but they
could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained:
"We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The
bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like
it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"
This is
called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"
The bank
manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now
covered by this robbery.
This is
called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!
So who are the real robbers here?

Like Mahathir said to Najib. You can have the country but leave me Petronas. So Najib becomes boss and have to listen to demands from UMNO members and complaints of people in the street. Mahathir just quietly enjoy himself with a bottomless account.
ReplyDeleteThis is called thinking like the Devil!
there's a moral to every story, we learn as we move ahead, hahahaaa....
ReplyDeleteOur tuans work so had to gain power. They make promises to established pirates in exchange for future plunder, incite hatred, organise violence, rig elections, etc. It is their right to suck our blood. This is a sensitive issue. End of argument.

ReplyDeleteTo be rich is glorious. To rob everyone and not just a few with the help of pet politicans is the delight of the most exalted.
ReplyDeleteThe Cyprus robbery was not a mistake. This approach to rescuing gamblers (holders of derivatives) was agreed on a couple of years ago. When the prospects of gambling don't look good, derivatives are transferred quitely from "investment banking divisions" to the commercial banking. There, they have priority over all other liabilities when the bank goes bust, including small insured savings. Moreover, derivates ae in the 100s of trillions of dollars, not billions. Even if insured savings are somehow safe (i.e. the relatively tiny insurance fund does not run out), the balances of pension funds, local goverments and genuine businessmen will be appropriated.
Sorry to spoil your day.
