Recent incidents have only proven the moral degradation of the human nature. The NKF chief scandal causes much upheaval to otherwise ignorant public about the money that was to be for the sick people. The gold plated tap which was least expensive in the eyes of the Chief was the salary of a man for the month. How could balance of the world be tipped to such an extent that the rich poor divide just grows and grows! Ridiculous! Isnt us all suppose to be upon equal standings. Such prolification of ideas seems only reasonable in the eyes of the Law, but even in it does the evil of inequality persists. When has the equality of man that change? Why did we come to this stage whereby people are judge based on the wealth they accumulated either through their own or their forefathers? When did all these inequalitable entities come to such an extent that extravagance on the part of one is bears the livelihoods of many others?

Hello Ah Pui...
Can't help but disagree with your view. You seemed to be saying that "inequality" is when there are people who are richer than others, and who can afford gold taps while others can't. So are you saying there's "equality" when everyone have the same amount of money?
I think "wealth" shouldn't be a benchmark for "equality", just as talent, brain, beauty, height, jobs and etc. We shouldn't be crying "inequality" just because a guy with IQ 180 scores full mark in a test while we score only 80.
I would say "equality" lies in treating all human beings with the same kind of respect...and this has no inkings to whether one can afford a gold tap or no right?
