rich and unemployed...

i was reading a sunday time article dated 5th july, titled 'House owner fined $6000 for cutting down 3 trees'. this was yet another funny straits time article.

Mr Foo was fined 6000 dollars for cutting down 3 tree, then he sought help from his MP who wrote a letter of appeal on his behalf. he was unemployed and finding a job.

when reading till here, i thought mr foo deserves our sympathy for being fined for cutting down protected trees and the MP did a right thing by appealing on his behalf.  but when reading till the end...

the article said ' Mr foo is looking forward to moving into his $2.5 million dollars Holland home.'

haha.. usually we thought unemployed and job seekers shld be struggling with financial woes but this chap is a rich unemployed. the MP shouldn't have appealed on his behalf and let him get punished!! he is worth at least 2.5 million and wanna bargain for a 0.006 million fine ?

ridiculous rich singaporeans..
