Veteran actress Joanne Peh shared a cryptic post onto her Instagram, saying that there is a “reason why (contractors) starts with ‘con’, though I cannot understand why it has to be this way.”
She then asked: “Do I look like a carrot?”
Renovation woes
Peh and her husband Qi Yuwu, bought a new home in September last year and started renovation works on it.
They had initially hoped to complete the works and move in by the end of the year – alas it has been a year and the renovation has yet to be completed.
With her recent Instagram post, she alluded to her contractor allegedly being dishonest.
Not all contractors are bad
Her Instagram post drew the ire of netizens who slammed her for her caption, with a netizen commenting that not all contractors are con men.
The netizen said that they are making an honest and hard living and that they don’t expect others to understand the difficulties that they face in their line of work.
Peh then replied that she understand where the netizen is coming from, reiterating that she believes in the goodness of people and that there will be bad eggs in any industry.
Who are you to tell me what I should share?
Another netizen called her out for criticizing the entire trade, to which Peh then told the netizen off:
“Who are you to tell me what I should be sharing and what not? Or even saying that I need to specifically say what had happened. If I do, it will attract the wrong attention and people will end up taking sides, that’s not the intent – which I will reiterate.”
