What is inherently sad is they were too few individuals speaking out or actively trying to debunk this scheme earlier on - Malaysian society dictates that we each give the other tolerance, especially if this involves the well-being of the known strata of individual, group or community.

Unfortunately, in this case, it works against us. Too many people, induced by their close relative, friend, cousin or fellow members of a society was socially convinced that this was a secret, a superior method of working in the "system" but gaining far higher profit.

Hindsight, as always is 20/20 and crystal clear, and we can easily dictate or label who were the victims, the perpetrators and masters. It’s easy to sit back, do armchair comments on these individuals and label them as "stupid, weak, smart, greedy, financially savvy, intelligent, superior...." the list goes on.

I see too much finger pointing, too many “I am right and you are wrong”. Selected parties trying to climb and elbow each other to win the argument and prove themselves superior/right/absolute. Disgusting.

Do yourself a favor folks, if you see something wrong, or someone about to do something that might jeopardize their well-being - let the person know. Politely of course.

A sad time for Malaysia and Malaysians indeed.

On that note, I thank you and those who did try the stem of tide for that.

.....some novel or movie somewhere.....

"too many villains, too few heroes nowadays...."

Be careful and vigilant - the next few days / weeks will incite various sources to spin their way in/out of dictating:

WHO is at fault.
WHAT really happened.
HOW many people was involved.
WHAT is the outcome.
WHY it happened at all.
WHEN the outcome will be decided.

Truth will be swept aside.

Facts will be used to persuade the weak and the misinformed.

Facts will be shaped as opinions to push agendas.

All this for gold?

Hell yeah.... gold still incites love and murder...21st century style.
