You want to know what is the REAL problem here? The real problem ( or at least in my view) is that all your frd's frds or frd frd relationship all revolves around money!

Rainmaker Neutral Newbie October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 since the friend once had financial problems, maybe the few thousands is still important to her? want to help a friend then help wholeheartedly without thinking of getting any payback, why help so much already then complain her friend dont share price?

Robo 2nd Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 yea... frankly i think the frd need not share the price. however, she could have share a little of the prize $$ as goodwill. but she didnt. but as u say she isnt financially very stable. so who knows the $5k is being put into good use for the needs of the family.

Help1 1st Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 seems to me that your colleague and his wife say aloud that they are not asking for anything but in actual fact they are pounding their chest, squeeze balls.... well...ren chin ren yi, the winner should treat your colleague's wife for some makan cos if not for her help, she will not win the car....but on a very pragmatic approach, there was no agreement and indeed loan was repaid so really there is no strings attached and clear cut....well just take it as doing a good deed and extra charlie point to go heaven loh....

Sg2303 2nd Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 I also feel the the friend is not obliged to share the prize since the friend paid up the money before the draw results were announced. Anything that the friend offers the colleague wife is out of goodwill. Perhaps, a treat for paying for her when she lost the purse. Anyway, your colleague's wife also earned points for the purchase, didn't she? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After posting this, very important question is, did your colleague's wife request for anything from her friend? Or did she just keep quiet? I always believe if you think you want something or deserve something to voice it out. If the answer to the question I have is that your colleague's wife did not request from her friend, I feel it is akin to people who do not request or demand for things and go into some dark corner of cyberspace to voice out frustrations or tell the whole world except the direct party instead of solving it by going direct the the other party and requesting some token for the help rendered.

Robo 2nd Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 (edited) i concur....there is no need to share the prize... of cos goodwill shud exist but then again if it doesn;t come...no point loosing sleep over it yea... there was once i help my dad's friend buy 4D when he and my dad was outstation. guess wad he tio $30K! i was very tempted to tell him i forgot to buy. but i came clean broke to him the good news and gave him the money. end of day he gave me $200 outta goodwill so should i be expecting 50/50? i guess not right. he paid me back for the 4D capital also. im merely a middleman.

Carer 2nd Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 just put urself in the winner's shoes. will u share the prize? it is rightfully hers since she was the one who bought the TV. i don't see why the prize should be shared equally. but i agree with most ppl here. The least she could do is to treat her out to a good meal. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
