AP millionaire cum billionaire

At the end of the rainbow lies a chest of gold, is not a myth but a true fact in Malaysia Boleh Land. All one has to do is lick Mahathir, Daim, Rafidah and Pak Lah ears and bingo a couple of hundreds, the biggest lickers get thousands of APs handed over to them. Where in the world can you find such luxury benefit flow into your chest box year in year out without a tickle of guilt?

A personal friend of mine has been getting a couple of hundred APs since 1984 till today. He sells them and make around RM3 million per year. Now anyone with that kind of free money would have done something worthwhile in business and life. From kindergarten, restaurant, travel agency, telecommunication, real estate etc he has never make money. But because of his yearly allowance of RM3 million he did not have to worry about losses incur for the past 24 years. His 6 salesmen are paid a basic salary of RM3000 excluding commission and for the past four years have only sold 2 cars.

His eccentric behaviour reminds me of Howard Hughes with the exception of his clean cut hairdo. He lives alone though he has a wife and children. He thinks people are against and envy of his achievement. Long hours and days of isolation turn him into a sickly old man.

Easy come easy go. What a life?
