Some people are just born to be bastards! Today, I got a very disturbing news from my subordinates. It seems that one of our vendors has renegaded on the earlier agreement we have entered. The thing is, when we confronted them, they have a cheek to tell us that we didn't confirm our 'order' to them earlier. Now, we have to make all the necessary arrangement to untangle the mess. Previously, the vendor has been delaying their deliverables to us citing capacity constraints. Little that we know that they have been servicing other customers who paid higher price. FYI, we have entered an agreement with them to provide their deliverables at an agreed cost. Now that we are enjoying the benefits of locking our cost, they want to renegade from their obligation.
The company is run by some big Malay tycoon (a Tan Sri by the way) who purportedly have connections with the highest level of leadership in the country. That's why he got the contract in the first place. I don't mind if you want to use whatever cable that you have to secure a contract (after all, this is MALAYSIA!), but please ensure that you deliver your goods!
Right now, my mind is full of expletives for this guy!
Why do people become unscrupulous? It doesn't mean that you have the right to be a bastard just because you have a lot of money and have friends in high places. I long for the good old days where people uphold moral values and do work honestly. I guess with these kind of people in the becoming part of circle of friends of the country's leadership, we can expect the behaviour to be the new theme for the country's generation. No wonder things are getting into more and more messy. Bastard friends influencing bastard leaders and thus breeds bastard followers.
I am totally fed-up with the world!

Makes one wonder how these jokers sleep at night.. and sometimes too, how the bigger jokers who allow these jokers to use and abuse their relationships can sleep at night.. hmm but then, the particular bigger joker here sleeps all the time..
Honestly Luke, there are people who are indeed unscrupulous. They have no qualms screwing others over for their own benefit.. because they have the ear/protection of certain powerful figures, they consider themselves as untouchable.
At the same time, though, what are WE the trodded-upon do about it? Mostly, nothing to nudge them off that high horse of theirs.. for the same reason that we dont wanna ruffle these 'protected' feathers! Hate to say it, but tis the truth. We're all guilty of it sometimes..especially in the establishments we serve..
