The large world map designed impressively on the wall of

Changi International Airport caught my eyes I walked

towards it and scrutinized it as though searching for a lost

ring in the midst of the jungle My eyes finally rested on an

island at the tip of West Malaysia It was in this place that I

was born, brought up, educated and married She was

indeed my beloved country and home Besides, her

citizens have provided me an insight into human nature I

learnt the most valuable lesson about true friendship and

mere hypocrisy

I fell into a reflective mood Why should people become

materialistic and self-centered when they become

successful? Is this inevitable or is it deliberately designed

for man? I was holding the rank of Superintendent of

Police when it all happened It was after midnight when

that man came running into the police station He was

holding a briefcase He came in breathless and shouted

frantically, “My wife has been murdered!” Being in

command, I told some constables to rush to the site where

the murder was reported I was left alone in the station

with that man and one of my junior officers Working in the

night shift was a bore!

I tried to calm the almost hysterical man I asked the

officer to bring coffee for him When my officer went out,

that awful man suddenly got up He opened his briefcase

and there, to my utter astonishment was thousands of

dollars Unfortunately, at that very moment, my assistant

superintendent stepped in with some constables He

looked astonished and speechless when he saw both of

us with the opened briefcase on the table “Bribery! How

could you?” he shouted and picked up the phone, dialed

the number for police headquarters and reported what he

had seen Indeed, he had done wrong A respectable

police officer must never accuse another without sufficient

proof Well, maybe he was sure he had proof

I demanded the case to be brought to court Inevitably, I

won the case and in return I sued him for disgracing me

publicly He wasn’t satisfied He went around back-biting

me with the most unspeakable slander He was indeed

influential as I found myself slowly losing the favor of my

“friends”

Now, here I was, waiting for the plane which will take me

to Malaysia The announcement for the arrival of a plane

interrupted my nostalgia I looked intensely at the plane…

In Malaysia, I will buy a decent house near the town so

that my wife can buy the daily necessities easily and my

children may go to school I will buy a piece of land and

cultivate cash crops I will start on a subsistence basis and

will finally end up in commercial farming

As my business prospers, I will export the cash crops

Then, I will build houses and provide free accommodation

for my workers I will develop a processing plant and

employ more workers By then, I will have time to

volunteer for social work I always feel that rural dwellers

are full of gratitude towards their benefactors; this virtue,

however is slowly disappearing from the hearts of the

materialistic urban dwellers

“Passengers of flight 209, Boeing 747, please report at the

departure hall Thank you.” The announcement echoed in

our ears Before long, I found myself, flanked by my wife

and children running to the departure hall
