THE 2 minute conversation that robbed another kid's chance
Mr Z said, " Ms A, how many kids are allowed for the MNO camp?"
Ms A replied, " Oh we can only take in a maximum of -- kids."
Mr Z then said, " OH. Cause the datuk's son wants to go for the camp. Hmmm. Just reserve one space for his son."
Ms A then hesitantly replies," The closing date for the registration was last friday."
Mr Z goes on saying, " Nevermind, make sure there is one space for him. By the way how much is it?"
Ms A like the ever prepared employee,immediately responds," $40."
Mr Z keeps quiet for a split second then hastily replies," I think i'll pay for him."
See the kind of advantages you get if you are the datuks son? And i happen to know that there is a overwhelming response for the camp and that it is meant to be a first come first serve basis selection. But i guess that does not apply for the datuk's son, who by the way, is rather "prompt" in his registration.
