Every morning, on my way to work, I would unfailingly chuckle to myself while walking past this Chinese Medical Hall. You see, the problem lies in the huge, red signboard bearing its name in gold. It says:"万家春药行", simply translated as "Ten Thousand Houses' Spring Medical Hall". Yet, the perverted mind chooses to read it as "万家 春药行", meaning "Ten Thousand Houses' Aphrodisiac Hall". Too bad this one is only for Chinese readers.

In UK, statistic has shown that a fraudster is more likely to be caught by his mistress than the external auditors engaged by shareholders. Why, you asked? Well, it's simply because the perpetrator, after a night of passion, would engage in some pillow talk to impress, only to unwittingly reveal the crime. So when the booze and sex party is over, the spiteful mistress would turn to the authorities and spill the beans. On the other hand, discovering a fraud would be the highlight of an auditor's career which is more often, never.
Fact or fiction? It's anybody's guess.
Perhaps in the Singapore context, it's not the mistress that is feared most, but the plumber. What, you don't believe me? Just ask TT Durai and his gold taps.
