Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little.
Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
Con Man Strikes Again

Seldom have the habit of watching news as I would usually be happily facing my iBook, chatting up with friends or browsing through some websites. Today, for some reasons or another, I have decided to do a "good deed" to watch the news and lett my siblings surf the internet: I am the broadband hogger of the family *ha*.
News was on by the time I settled down in my parents' room (being the owners of the house, they naturally have the rights to place a TV set in their room). After about five to ten minutes, a news reported by the newscaster made my blood boiled. It goes something like this:
"An old lady in her late 80s was conned by a man who claimed to be an employee of the SP and is there to check on her lighting facilities. While she was doing some cleaning outside her flat, the man went to her drawer, removed some $8000 cash and jewellery that worth over a thousand dollars"
As this was being read out, an old lady, wrinkled and hair in snowy white appeared on the screen. Though I could not see her crying nor did not understand her dialect, I could felt the sorrow and bitterness in her speech and she is not the first old folk to be conned. Before her, there were another two old folks being conned by similar tactic.
Seriously, I really cannot understand what is wrong with some of the young people nowadays. It is not that they are physically disabled or mentally unsound (to be mentally unsound is totally impossible in this case as it is a swindler we are talking about now) when there are proper jobs around, why resort to swindling? And, why of all age groups, do they picked on the old and weak ones? Where have all the moral education gone to? Swept away and got lost in the Ocean of Greed? These old folks are the ones who help in the building of Singapore to what she is today. Most of them are uneducated due to though living environment they lived in when they were younger. They have to scrimp and save for decades before they can save up to a 4-figure sum; an amount that we can save up easily within 2-3 year time.
I really hope that the police will nab this bugger, make sure him cough out the amount he had swindled from these old folks and throw him to jail. Allowing him enjoy the taste of rotan will be a bonus in my point of view.
I have heard rumours on how cellmates sodomize a rapist when one was thrown to jail so that the rapist gets a chance to have a taste of his own medicine and the cellmates are able to release his sexual needs. I wonder if any swindler especially those who swindled old folks money will received similar treatments should he be caught and sent behind bars. Need not necessary be sodomizing him, a good trashing will do the job
