Monetary

I went fixing Wira's water pump with dad when we had a nice conversation with the workshop owner Toh Chai. We saw an E280 corroding to rust right by the main roof. What happened was, the owner of E280 was in a little bit of a debt while getting into another crisis -- an accident. He sent it for repair but couldn't pick it up because he didn't have money to reimburse the money already put forward by the mechanics. Even if he could settle the car to go out, it would be pulled by the finance people anyway, who were suing him for failing to pay off the loan. So the car sits there, waiting for people to bail it out.

It's a lose-lose-lose situation to all:
1) Finance - because there's that debt, and money already spent without anybody cashing back.
2) E280 owner - because he's just lost a car and the financial ability.
3) Repair mechanics - because he had paid forward for the half of the repair and received no payment for service in return -- and the car is rusting in his workshop.

Dad says, "Only the car wins. 'Cause nobody touches it."

All because we're in the money-capital-economy that has been set up why you-know-who. Debt cashing in because of interest. Don't you think there's a good reason why the Almighty is forbidding Riba'
