During lunch my mom told me a story about one of her aunts. She married a Muslim man and never came back to visit her mother (my mom’s grandmother) since the day she got married. One fine day my mom received a call from her asking for a personal loan, telling my mom that she got a sick son that needs to be hospitalised and she need a lot of cash for it.

We are not rich either so my mom told her that since she is married to a Malay man, she does not need any loans because they have special privileges from the government being a Muslim. My mom told her that even our own secured loan that we took to renovate our house is not paid up yet.

Later my mom found out that she is living in a bungalow bought by her eldest son. I wonder why she wants to borrow from us. Maybe she thought we are rich just because we renovated our old wooden house to a brick house. Some people ah, cannot see we got a lil bit extra money, sure want to borrow one.
