可憐

在這盛世和亂世交雜的時代,天下可憐人比比皆是。今天又讀了一則不幸事故。部分原文如下,不翻譯:
“Remember back in August when I talked about this PTPTN issue. At the time, I went to pay part of my defaulted payment. I mentioned that the officer informed me of a massive end-of-the-year operation to locate all borrowers.

She said the officer had told her then that all loan defaulters had until November to restructure their loan payment, failing which a deduction would be made according to a rate they set.

“Apparently, they were serious. Our WhatsApp group was buzzing over this matter. Schools are about to reopen. It’s a shame to deduct up to the point where I was left with RM19,” wrote Batrisyia.
短短三段文字,讓本偽君子假假同情一番,滿足自己的道德虛榮後,不得不想起那句老話:『可憐之人必有可恨之處』。

讓我們從字裡行間讀出其他情報。

根據事主的分享,事主應該已婚,而且有兒女正值個求學時期。假設事主大學畢業後立即懷孕生子,也能算出事主已大專畢業最少七年。因此尚未全數清還高教貸款,還算情有可原。

然而若因為薪金被扣除以付还所欠貸款後,就得為兒女開學費用而煩惱,就折射出事主在家庭規劃方面的不足。也許是沒想到這幾年生活開銷直線上升,也可能是根本不把償還PTPTN算入家庭開銷,也可能是沒怎麼計劃就生了。

而最耐人尋味的是那句『Apparently, they were serious』。事主也是公務員,卻沒把同為公務員的PTPTN當局所給通知當一回事。而且不單事主本人,其喧鬧的WhatsApp群組也是如此。

這似乎說明了,公務員們以其職場經歷來判斷當局勸告,得出的結論竟然是『they won't be serious about it』。也許他們過於安逸,失去對時局的敏感。嗅不出我國政府的經濟狀況已經相當嚴峻。除了那2.6億,其他和錢相關的事都已經是serious matter。

而錯誤判斷,導致不幸下場,這很合理。就如欠債還錢般合理。

還好世上尚有面書和WhatsApp,大家多了個呻吟的管道一起罵政府。其他人也別忘記保持正能量,對他們的遭遇表示同情。

更新:原來事主居然不是第一批中招的人,而且她其實上載了完整薪水單到面子書【詳文
