And so I read that the Vietnamese tourist in the Jover Chew saga has been given $550 by a businessman, bought a phone already, and is refusing any more help. Mr Pham Van Thoai has my respect. Anyone in his situation would accept the money which has been raised. He reportedly earns $200 a month so the money from crowdfunding amounts to over 5 years’ worth of salary for him. And he’s saying no, he has already gotten back the amount he was cheated of, and he’s not taking any more.
Would you turn down 5 years’ worth of salary if it was offered to you, with no strings attached?!
I’m at a loss for words. Hats off to him. Despite what anyone may think about a grown man who breaks down in tears and begs for his money back, Mr Pham Van Thoai has proven that he is not a greedy person; he wants to get back only what is fairly due to him.
I cannot say the same for Jover Chew.
You’d laugh at a man who grovels at your feet to ask for his money back. Guess what? He’s more of a man than you are.
A man who goes into hiding at the slightest sign of danger and leaves the womenfolk at home to fend for themselves is not a man at all. He needs to grow some backbone, for he is the real wimp.
Since netizens cannot get hold of Jover, the spotlight now turns to his wife and her shop.
Well done, Jover. Unless you intend to stay away from your family forever, now might be a good time to come out and face the music.
