            <title>Petrol subsidy idea</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5564381</link>
            <description>Link saman system centralize the shit tie it down to start deducting from BUDI95 after 6 months no pay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If got RM300 saman accumulated. everytime that motherfucker pump petrol, the supposed BUDI95 subsidy get channeled to pay saman instead. Until all fully paid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need to include bandaraya parking saman together. When those motherfuckers who double triple park keep kena saman, then they lose their BUDI95. They wouldnt want to be lazy fuck park directly in front of the shop or whatever, maybe ppl would drive less if parking is fucking expensive and punishing. It&amp;#39;s time we tighten up the traffic enforcement because RIGHT FUCKING NOW it&amp;#39;s VERY rewarding if u behaving recklessly on the road, park recklessly and be total dick to ignore saman as long as no kacau roadtax. Fuck all these ppl. Remove their BUDI95</description>

            <title>this world filled with many rude sohai.</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5549611</link>
            <description>My job as contractor almost everyday meet many different strangers to solve their problem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One word of advice for u all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Be polite.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really important. Although u are paying good money for my expertise to solve your problem. Know that u are the one having problem u need my help. Talk nicely la. I am obligated to help, but please make it easier for me to help u. Start by being a decent human being. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also PLEASEEEEEEEE. try not to badmouth your previous contractor no matter how bad the job (very subjective). Especially not when i meet u for the first time u already start complaining how the previous one no do good job, this and that. Experienced contractor will take this as early sign of problematic client will automatically raise the quotation price 10% at least. I call this type of ppl &amp;quot;streetfighter&amp;quot; because they treat life like game keep fighting everywhere they go.  Very hard to please this kind of ppl that always think bad of others, to them the whole world cannot wait to grab money from their pocket while giving nothing in return. I usually quote very high price hoping they say no, somehow this type of ppl like it when being quoted expensive price. kek. If u are rude and cheap together, they start haggle i will tell them to find someone else. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thank my parent for giving me enough FU money as financial security. I do not have to sell my own self-esteem to please the wrong ppl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terima kasih mom and dad.</description>

            <title>Employee Anak masuk hospital.</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5542002</link>
            <description>Recently heard from friend one of her workers EL said anak masuk hospital. No give much info but seems serious. Straight 1 week MIA then when friend call her she asked if the missing work week still got gaji or not. Friend said use AL lor, if no more leave then become unpaid leave. Worker seems unhappy said will resign if potong gaji. Friend said okay.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turns out the worker performance not really that good, socially also not so good since no ppl keep in contact with her throughout this issue. Everyone was in the dark. The vibe is no ppl going to miss her. So my friend proceed to terminate the worker and find new worker. Easy to find actually cos minimum wage so the worker got replaced by the second week itself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now third week the worker suddenly said ready to work already want come back. But the position already gone kena replace. She seems shocked to hear it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friend now wondering if she too kejam. It&amp;#39;s SME, staffs not more than 10. Usually how to handle this kind of case? Anak masuk hospital is really abrupt and unpredictable. Since young child, one of the parent need to stay together 24/7 of course cannot work during that period. In such case can consider as MC for the caretaker?? still dont understand why the worker so terasa potong AL/gaji and resign because of that. Or she threaten only thinking the boss will back down.</description>

            <title>Takde lesen the new norm in Malaysia</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5537216</link>
            <description>Recently so damn a lot kantoi no lesen. Luxury car. Business no lesen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today i buying nasi lemak from roadside. Realized they got no lesen also. Cash only business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then i think back, majority of stuff we dealt with no lesen. That&amp;#39;s why rules and regulations got nothing to do with them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kena accident without lesen, polis and insurance company say &amp;quot;cannot do anything&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kena food poisoning from roadside stall. Same &amp;quot;cannot do anything&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kena scam. Bank also said &amp;quot;cannot do anything&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When exactly the time to do something ya? It&amp;#39;s also funny system where if u follow undang u end up kena buttfucked instead, need pay tax, need to do a lot of application, higher cost. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaysia is the true land of opportunity. So nice living here in Malaysia. Damn chill.</description>

So, the moderator actually reached out to Lehigh to give them a heads up,&amp;#39; Northampton County Assistant D.A. Michael Weinert told ABC 6. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigators found that Anand had in fact impersonated a school principal and created falsified documents, including phony school transcripts, tax statements and a death certificate for his father, who is in fact alive and well, living in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#39;It was difficult to really verify these things. I think that was great work by Lehigh and their police force. They were able to really dig deep and find all this really was false,&amp;#39; Weinert added. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anand was arrested in April and charged with multiple offenses including forgery, tampering with records, theft by deception, and theft of services. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The post recounted how he created a fake admission application and financial aid paperwork to get into Lehigh, which has an acceptance rate of 37 percent and tuition of nearly &amp;#036;60K/year&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On June 12, he pleaded guilty to one count of forgery, classified as a second-degree felony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anand initially faced 10 to 20 years in prison, however, at the request of the university his penalty was reduced to expulsion from the school and deportation to India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of the agreement for his return to India, the university waived the request for restitution, estimated at approximately &amp;#036;85,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anand was subsequently handed over to the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lehigh University responded in a statement, saying it &amp;#39;appreciates the report to its ethics hotline and the diligent investigation by the Lehigh University Police Department that led to Aryan Anand&amp;#39;s arrest.&amp;#39; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13573139/How-single-Reddit-post-exposed-student-elite-college-fraud-lied-way-school.html' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13...way-school.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matcha punya reddit &amp;quot;confession&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('555e43ea1339f0a72a1bc12d494c6468')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;555e43ea1339f0a72a1bc12d494c6468&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;I have built my life and career on LIES and FRAUD - February 22, 2024&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;read only if u have time, it&amp;#39;s very long but worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it all started when our 10th board exams got cancelled. From that day till now, I haven&amp;#39;t seriously studied for even 2 hours. As usual, I took Science in 11th, dreaming of cracking JEE Editor&amp;#39;s note: (Joint Entrance Examination) and all, but soon realized it wasn&amp;#39;t a piece of cake. I barely passed 11th with 49%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, in 12th, I thought I would restart everything and took admission in a dummy school. I might have studied seriously for like 2-3 days, but then again, I started repeating the same things. There was a time in my life where I was just eating, sleeping, and watching movies. I used to watch horror movies all night long for months then sleep the whole day, and my parents thought was studying the whole night. But soon, I realized it&amp;#39;s time, and I need to do something to get into a good college. I again tried studying, but it was not like I didn&amp;#39;t want to study; I wanted to but was not able to understand anything in physics, chemistry even after trying very hard, I was able to understand maths a little, but that wasn&amp;#39;t enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so now the real part comes. I soon realized I wouldn&amp;#39;t be able to get even a 50 percentile in JEE, so then I started looking for colleges abroad and their admission process, fees, everything I was able to find online. Then I found out only in the US some top colleges provide full financial aid to even international students (financial aid is a type of scholarship but based on family&amp;#39;s income), but you need to be like very very good to get those kinds of things like you should have perfect academic scores, perfect extracurriculars, everything but I didn&amp;#39;t have any of those things. I checked these things in, like June, July of my 12th class, and the US universities&amp;#39; admissions applications starts from 1st Aug and have a deadline of 1st Jan for regular decisions and 1st Nov for early decisions. So, I planned a very very structured fraud plan. They need your 9-11 class result and a predicted result of 12th. I got my result for 9-11 class edited them like in a very perfect way anyone would not recognize as if it&amp;#39;s edited, then made a completely fake predicted result for my 12th class even bought a fake stamp and seal of my school&amp;#39;s principal to make it look perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, as all these transcripts needed to be sent by my school&amp;#39;s official email ID, but my school only had a a gmail.com email which, despite being official, looked fake. So, I made a fake email id of my school, not any regular email like schoolname@gmail.com, I bought a similar website domain of my school and got the email like if it&amp;#39;s of principal then principal@schoolname.com so it looked exactly official, then I started preparing my application, they need your academic achievements in high school, outside of academic achievements, I made a complete full fake profile of me, and I didn&amp;#39;t mention any of the activities like won any olympiad medal or anything I put on which cannot be verified but are still impressive, and even if they wanted to verify something, they would send an email to my school of which I had access to. Then I needed to write some essays like almost every college have a prompt why u want to come here what our college offeres which other colleges dont so i used chatgpt and i know people who has experience in aplying abroad will say chatgpt writes very bad essays but what i did was first looked on some successful and good past essays gave them to chatgpt and said to craft a similar impressove essay for the prompt so i got some decent essays to submit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so I did this and applied a bunch of early and regular applications. I applied to almost every single US college which promised to meet the need of every admitted student, which means they would give you a scholarship for the costs you can&amp;#39;t pay, like a typical US college costs about 60-70 lakhs per year including tuition, housing, everything, and let&amp;#39;s if someone could only afford about 30 lakhs per year, so they would give a scholarship or financial aid for that remaining amount; it works like that, and I applied saying I cannot contribute anything to my college education, like not even a single penny but they need like your parents’ income proof and all that before they finalize your decisions, but say your father or mother earns 20 lakhs per year (~&amp;#036;24,000 USD), which is pretty good in India, but it is nothing in America because how can someone who earns 20 lakhs a year and spend 60 lakhs a year on college, so for most of the top colleges, if your parents’ income is not more than like say 3-4 cr, you will get full financial aid because even if someone earns 1 cr a year cannot spend 60-70 lakhs alone on college, and most of the US colleges are need-blind for US citizens which means their ability to pay doesn&amp;#39;t affect their admissions decisions, but for non-US citizens except maybe 4-5 lvy League colleges, all the other colleges are need-aware which means the student&amp;#39;s ability to pay now affects their admission decisions. It doesn&amp;#39;t affect greatly if it&amp;#39;s a top school but still do to an extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I applied and got a bunch of rejections, waitlisted, deferred, and even some acceptances in the early round, but the acceptances weren&amp;#39;t fulfilling my full need, like some were giving full scholarship for tuition, but I still had to pay around 15-20 lakhs a year for housing, food, and everything. Okay, so I got these decisions around mid and end of December, and till now, I hadn&amp;#39;t studied even a bit of 12th grade, even for boards, JEE alone. And the boards were scheduled to start from mid-feb ig, and all the regular decision applications I applied were supposed to be released in mid to end of March. I started studying just to pass, but during boards, I realized how messed up I was except for physical education and english. I thought I would not pass in any of the subjects. In my physics exam, I wrote answers like, I remember there was a question, how are x-ray rays produced, I wrote x-ray rays are produced by x-ray machines. In maths, all I wrote was given in the questions to find or to prove, basically rewrote the questions. I wrote for like 10-15 marks out of 80 in almost all subjects except English and physical education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so now back to the story, the decisions came, and as expected, I got rejected from every Ivy League, maybe they found out I am fake or something. I don&amp;#39;t know what, but one college, I wouldn&amp;#39;t name for obvious reasons, it&amp;#39;s a top 25 in the US and a reputed college. I don&amp;#39;t know how they accepted but gave me a very very good financial aid package which covered almost everything except my meal plan cost. It was like 5k USD a year, which is about 4-5 lakhs a year. I knew we could afford this, but I thought if still my dad would pay for my college, I would still have to listen to everything he tells me like basically be answerable to everything i do till he is paying for my college, I know this is wrong, but at that time, I just wanted freedom at any cost, and if I could go to college without even spending a penny of my parents’ money, only then I could get that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I planned another very wrong and fraud thing. I created a completely fake death certificate of my father (I know you all are like what), but I did and sent that to my college, saying my dad got cancer and is dead, so my mother would receive his pension (my dad has a govt job) and that would be almost half of his actual income, so I won&amp;#39;t be able to pay for these 5k also, and they took that very seriously, and instantly increased my aid package to over full cost of attendance, which means tuition. housing. meals and even one round trip ticket to India every year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there was a last thing remaining, which was sending them my 12th final result that I graduated my high school and with a good grade and I was worried that I might not even pass 12th. This was the only barrier now. I got my result, I scored 58%, and that too was more than enough for me. As soon as I got the result, I first edited the result page to 91% to show it to my parents, and for which they were really happy, and I was feeling guilty, and then got the copy from digi locker, edited that, made that 91%, and sent it to the college from school&amp;#39;s official email which I created. They quickly accepted it and made my admission official, and everything was in place now. Now, when I told this to everyone, everyone was surprised, like how can I get into a college in the US with full scholarship. My dad and mom&amp;#39;s friends started coming to my house to congratulate me and then seek advice for their kids, how can they too get that, all those things, and only I knew how I did this. And when at first I told this to my dad, his first reaction was like, &amp;quot;Tujhe toh plus-minus bhi nahi aata, ye kaise ho gaya?’ literally, he said this. Editor&amp;#39;s note - Google translation: &amp;quot;You don&amp;#39;t even know plus-minus, how did this happen?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And some people also thought it might be a scam and all, but later realized it is all legit. Okay, so now back to the story, now I had to get a US visa, and that stuff is like not too hard but still even if they suspect anything wrong with you, like fake academic things or anything suspicious, they would instantly reject your visa application. There is a 2-3 mins short interview with a foreigner in the US embassy or consulate where they verify that you are a legit person and you have sufficient funds to survive in the US and that if you speak English properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So at the time of my interview, I saw a girl got rejected right in front of me, and I was next.I don&amp;#39;t know why they rejected her. She was speaking fine, answering everything which they asked properly, but still, and I got very nervous at my turn, they first asked why this university and all. I said something unique about the uni and then said they also gave me a full ride, which means full scholarship. As soon as she saw that on my 120 (it&amp;#39;s a doc for the visa), she said, &amp;quot;Oh, that&amp;#39;s good,’ smiled and said congrats, and said, &amp;quot;You must be very smart,’ only I knew how smart I was, and instantly typed something on the computer and said your visa is approved and didn&amp;#39;t even ask any further questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so for my boards, I was curious to know how I even passed, so I ordered the photocopies of my graded answer sheets from the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) website, and when I received my answer sheets, I was literally shocked. I got like 10-15 marks in all the subjects except English and PE, it was written on the front of the answer sheet like 13 for maths, 15 for physics, 11 for chem, but on the result portal, they passed me by giving 29-30 in every subject and extra 20 with practical, so I got like 45-50 in every subject, so if someone who is giving boards rn remeber this, cbse tries to pass you in every way possible. The only way you can fail is if you haven&amp;#39;t written anything on the answer sheet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I came here in the US in Aug 2023 without spending a penny. The college paid for my flight, and they had sent a bus to the airport to pick up all the intl students arriving on that day. So, I came here, the orientation and everything happened. I got to know a few students from India who were like on full tuition scholarship and also from some other countries, and they all are like geniuses. They have done research in some fields, some are intl Olympiad winners and all that, and I am a fraud. So, the classes started, and here we have 2 midterms and one final, and the midterm is like every month. So, first, I tried studying, i thought let just forget everything in the past and start a fresh good life here but then again, I don&amp;#39;t know, I was just not interested in studying anymore, my habit or what I don&amp;#39;t know what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exams came, and I needed to get a 3 out of 4 GPA (here we have a 4 GPA scale) every semester to continue my financial aid or scholarship to the next sem. I got very tensed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I again made a plan. In the exam hall, there are like at least 100 people at a time. What I did, I didn&amp;#39;t take my bag or anything in the exam hall, and it&amp;#39;s not like school like we have to leave bags outside. You can take anything also have the phone, but the phone or any electronic device cannot be seen on the desk. If they see, then it&amp;#39;s game over for you. They take these things like very very very seriously of academic integrity and honesty, even more than Indian colleges, so cheating here is easy, but if you get caught, it&amp;#39;s over. So, I thought as soon as I will get the exam paper, and here we don&amp;#39;t have answer sheets, we write on the exam paper itself like we used to do in lower classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I sat near the exit, and as soon as I got the paper and saw the invigilator was facing the other side, I left the room with the exam paper in my jacket wrote all the answers using internet, and at the end time, there used to be a crowd as people were going in and out and submitting the exams, so I came then mixed with the crowd and submitted it. I did all the exams like this and got near to perfect marks in all and got a 4/4 GPA last semester.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then we had winter break of about a month in Dec, came back to India for a month, came again here in Jan ending for 2nd sem, and again started doing the same things, going to parties, drinking, and all. 1st Midterm happened recently, I did the same thing and got perfect marks. Also, I am getting everything for free but still needed some money to buy some things or do anything, and here I cannot do a part-time job in mcdonalds or any local store as an international student, you can do it with the cash, but it&amp;#39;s risky. If you get caught, you will be deported. And even if my parents send me some money they can send like 10k max which is like nothing here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, then I again made a plan. You can do internships and earn money, there are no restrictions on that. I made a complete fake resume, edited my transcript to look like a 3rd-year marketing student. I didn&amp;#39;t do a CS or any engineering student because then for internships there are technical interviews and all, so I did the marketing one which have normal interviews not too hard and applied to over 100-150 companies, got interviews invite, and I prepared answers for every experience I listed on the resume, by hearted them, by hearted all the common interview answers, and got a marketing intern position at a small insurance firm based in New York. It&amp;#39;s remote work, all i have to do is send some emails and sometimes make some phone calls. It&amp;#39;s part-time. I do it like 2-3 hrs a day, and most of the time, I just clock in and watch movies or do anything unless there is something assigned to me, and I make around 1500S a month from it, like 1.2 lakhs in INR, and it&amp;#39;s more than enough for me here. I just spend it on getting drinks, getting some new electronics every month, and stuff like that. I know I should be investing and stuff, but I just don&amp;#39;t like to do anything in which there is my brain involved unless it&amp;#39;s fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I don&amp;#39;t know what I am doing is wrong or right. It&amp;#39;s basically wrong morally ik, but I haven&amp;#39;t had a single problem till now, but still, I am scared something very bad would happen in my life very soon if I keep on doing these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT: This is not a fantasy or any fake story and no one would ever be able to create such a detailed fake story. This is my life fr. believe it or not.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;</description>
