The Invasion of the Greedy Ghouls
'Tis surely must be the season of the hungry ghosts!
I have attended three AGMs of public listed companies thus far and this time I really came into close encounter with a new breed of beasts-the greedy kind.
Who are these people?
Mostly senior citizens. They looked very kind and gentle at first sight. Sitting around and chatting convivially just like ordinary folks. But....when the food came in after the AGM was over,what do you know?
Like Transformers, they mutated into monsters and in a bout of pre-feeding frenzy, grabbed at whatever food that was laid on the tables. With steady and ready platters and well trained hands and fingers, they scooped away curry puffs and cookies, leaving almost nothing for the other less fortunate shareholders and proxies. Really shameless as the scooted away with the loot!
The aftermath? Half eaten puffs and cookies-testimony of greed and inconsideration for others.
Sadly, some of these folks who smuggled out the cookies from the Sime Darby Convention Centre were caught red handed and had to return them to the empty platters on the table.
Alas, what a woeful end for them at the SCOMI Marine and SCOMI Engineering AGMs!
