Irony
You know, currently, Singapore is under the 'shark zone'. And these sharks are neither friends with fish nor human. At least the one in "Finding Nemo" treats fish as friends. But these Sharks... neither man nor fish. :)

Anyways, the law is tightening against those involved in sharking activities. For those who still thinks that I'm talking about people killing sharks (the animals) you're probably wrong. Because I'm talking about the loan sharks(the beasts). And recently, they claim that 8 out 20 people who are victims of loan sharking activities are gamblers. Gamblers are at risk. And what is Singapore doing to combat this? - the IR.
AWESOME.

Then how. Vicious cycle.
More people in debt. More people go loaning (easy way out). Then continue to be in debt. Then attacks by the sharks. Then stress. Then most probably suicide. Then sharks jailed. But the cycle doesn't stop there. It begins all over again.

Ok, IR might bring all sorts of revenue to Singapore's economy. But what about internally?
However, we can't go blaming Singapore's government too. They're considering the better good.

People just need to use money wisely.
You want to gamble, go ahead, but don't get addicted. Withdraw when you think you might resort to worse things if you carry on.
You want to get the services if the loan sharks or any moneylenders, pay them back ASAP. LIKE ASAP. SUPER ASAP.
But saying is better than actually doing it.

So personally, I will use money wisely. Save up since the first pay check.
Only use when I need it. And for the wants, I must make sure I have extra.
Okay. So what are your thoughts?

BTW, I read this again and I really think I'm confused.. HAHAHAHAHA

P.S. I'm back?

I tend to walk into glass that are so shiny they don't look like they were there. And yes, I wear boots to bed.
