When things go wrong

MY wife recently told me that her on-going site was being fined for mosquito encountered by local authority. In Singapore, there are things to do or not to do. Every wrong doing must end with fines. I am not sure if you could get reward when you do good thing. But I am sure you would get punishment if you do thing you are not supposed to. Failing to maintain her site free from mosquito, their company was fined $20,000 for first time. I don't know how much would it be if they commit next. No wonder Singapore is known as nanny state by some outsiders.

A week later, more harsh come to her company. I am shocked to learn that her site was caught in fire. Yes it has become headline news for few days. The construction permit was revoked by BCA. Luckily there was no casualty. They are doing a hotel renovation. The fire started in basement which has only one entrance. It make firemen's job more difficult to fight fire. There were some construction material on site that feed fire to maximize. Few persons were sent to hospital for outpatient ward while some take intensive care including 2 fire man who trip and fall during fire fighting. She is not happy to learn several problem within a month. I know the reason why my wife and her colleague are not happy with the incident. This is bonus paying month as well as salary review time. The recent cases might impact on the boss decision and it is most likely to affect their bonus and raise.

May all employee able to meet their expectation when it come to bonus.
