The irony of it all…
Just the other day, while sending my parents home, I overheard my father narrating an interesting piece of news. Apparently, someone in peninsula-M was caught without his identification card while somewhere out there. He was then put in jail for some reasons while investigation was supposed to be taking place. That took 6 months.
I then recounted to a certain Mr TTD who was sentenced to 3 months jail for what I consider general misappropriation of public funds and trust, in the process benefiting himself tangibly. Yes yes, he was earning peanuts, so I guess he was entitled to it.
Anyway, the funny thought that came to mind was this: it is more severe to be caught without your IC in peninsula-M, than to do something like what Mr TTD did in the LRD. So yes, life in the LRD is indeed better than many places out there, if and only if you’ve the necessary linkages to line your own pockets. Otherwise, just be prepared to slog your life away, or be a Quitter. Simple.
