A Chinese folk-story…
A farmer who usually fed the monkeys four bananas in the morning, and three at night, had decided to change the sequence to four in the morning and three at night instead… but the monkeys started complaining. So the farmer decided to switch back to the original routine, and the monkeys are happy again.
There is a proverb following the story, which are used to describe the stupidity of the monkeys (and some people) who are flip-flopping on something but are not making any difference after all.
Ok, I just realised how bad a story teller I am.
Straight to the point… the government will pay the salary of its officers and staff in two installments a month from August (instead of once), but frankly… does it matter if the salary is still the same at the end of the day?
Update July 2 – it’s back to the original banana routines.
