Utter generosity.
That other day, we were about to head home after lectures when we spotted this notice stuck on a wall near the carpark’s ground floor entrance.
It was the chinese writing that actually caught me. ‘Cos you’d never see a chinese character in any of those Swinburne notices around.
A closer look says the following in three languages.
Anyone who provides information leading to (the) successful capture of the electric cables thief shall be rewarded with an amount of RM 1,000. Please report the person to the SITE SECURITY.
No, I’m not helping the security or whatever to advertise this. But rather, we noticed they blacked out something in all three paragraphs. Now it can’t be a grammatical mistake that spans all three languages right?
No way, look closer:
LOL.
Seriously, it doesn’t take a CSI to guess whats under that layer of ink.
Blimey. They were originally planning to give out a MILLION bucks to anyone who turns in an apparent ‘electric cables theif’! Forget bux.to, forget Advertlets. I’m camping out at the carpark’s ground floor tonight! Anyone wanna join me? =D
It’s either that, or some dude typed that notice while day dreaming about his TOTO buy earlier that morning hitting the jackpot. Hence the extra zero’s. Lol. xD
People and money. Tsk, tsk.

LOL. THREE languages also make the same mistake.
And I thought I was the only one who was a total failure at add maths. XD XD XD
May? Add maths? Failure?
I never knew those three would belong in a same sentence.. =P
But yeah, like I said, that guy must be dreaming over winning the lottery to make that error. XD
it’s obvious that they printed RM1,000.00 and some schmuck changed the decimal point to a comma lah. There’s only two zeros which are blanked out. Duh!
hey there..
nice blog…nice clear pics and nice write up…keep up the good work
@uncleu, I would advise you to turn up your monitor brightness, lower the contrast and scrutinize that third pic in my post - you would see the faint outlines of *three* zero’s blanked by the ink.
Even if you can’t make out the zero’s, don’t you think that block of ink is way to long to fit in only *two* zero’s? =P
As for that comma, I guess it also has to be the work of the same guy who blanked the zero’s - he somehow thought the comma has to be blanked and proceeded to ‘blank’ it further with his marker. Of course, that has made that comma more obvious than ever. Some genius.
Get my point? =D
@Pink Cotton, why thanks! Glad you liked it. =)
