Repair or Replace

Repair or replace. That was the opportunity cost dilemma which I faced a few weeks ago. I was at a Castrol workshop to change the engine oil of my not proud Perodua Kancil when it was found that my brake fluid leaked like shit.

The mechanic asked me to replace the brake pumps which I did. But the other part of the story is I have used all the money I saved in case I have to go to the hospital again or if I'm warded at any government hospital.

Of course a COMMONER like me cannot afford to go to a private hospital. If I'm rich I wouldn't have let the stupid doctors at IJN to operate my late father. I would have brought my father to the best hospital in Canada to be operated by the world's best surgeons. Not to be operated by some low class Malaysian doctors. The stupid IJN doctors only gave my father 5 extra years and they were so damn proud of that 5 years.

Of course as a COMMONER the police is interested to know why I was speeding on the way to the HTAN on that Tuesday afternoon of December 30th 2008. But I wonder why I have to yell at the Emergency staff for a stretcher. Answer: Because my father was a nobody. Of course if Tun Dr Mahathir coughs, 10 doctors will surround him immediately.

If I'm rich, I would not have bought the inferior National Cars because in Malaysia people looked down at you if you drive a Proton or Perodua.
