A guy shared a story on how his University mate took a loan from all his villagers in his country to come to Singapore to study, but ended up spending all the loaned amount at the casinos.
Here is the story
I have heard many stories about people taking loans in their home country to come here and study.
Most of the loan stories I hear usually ends up well when the individual graduates, gets a well paying job here and sends a good amount of money back home each month.
However, the loan story from my university mate is the total opposite.
He came here via a loan taken from his village people who pooled their resources together to send him here as his father is quite a big shot in the village and they trusted him.
The father will then send him the loan amount for his living expenses over here as well as school fees.
After receiving the loan, he will pay off his school fees and then use the remaining amount meant for his living expenses to gamble at the casinos.
He says that he is doing so because he wants to repay these villagers of his who loaned him the money back fast.
If he loses, he will just eat maggi for the whole month till he gets his next instalment of his loan from his parents which he then will go back to the casinos to fight again.
This gambling habit of his has caused his results to be very sub par and he is even thinking of dropping out so that he can use the full loan amount to fight at the casinos everyday and bluff his parents that he is still studying.
