Some kid wants to set up a business.... and the biggest concern on his mind was what kind of attire he ought to wear in 'his' office.
He claimed that he would eventually have hundreds of employees.... but then, when people asked him what the nature of his business was, he got ultra-defensive and launched personal attacks.
Good luck to the kiddo.
oh yes i remember that thread.

oh yah, the MLM "boss" ....
I get very suspicious of people who dresses too well ... especially if they are over-dressed for the occasion ... I think it's a cover up for inaptitude ... you know, style over substance ? ....
and sometimes I look at the young punks working at the branded boutiques, swaggering about in their uniform suits, I can't help but smile to myself ...
and of course, in Singapore's climate, I think it's blardy stupid for a chap to walk around in suits too often .... you see those fellows walking down the streets still in their jackets, or some fellows who just refuse to loosen their ties after work ... it makes you wonder ...

I don't have a suit..... don't see the need for one at the moment. I may invest in one soon, though, just in case if the need arises in the future.
Anyway, thanks for that suit the other day, dude.
My most expensive shirts would probably be my G2000 shirts.... even then, I bought them at a sale.
Even then, I hardly ever wear them except for weddings, interviews and conferences.... otherwise, I just wear my street clothes to school.
Heck, I don't even wear a lab coat..... it's not part of SOP in my lab since we don't really deal with a lot of toxic chemicals.

They were offered a general amnesty?

MPB wears his white overalls to work everyday when by right the engineers have to wear their other uniform.
He said those who wear that uniform usually eat snake one coz to really get your work done, it's stupid to wear the uniform since you will get grease and what not on them.

wah, is it corporate policy ? ....
personally, i find ties very restrictive lor, it's like wearing a dog leash ....
even when I have to dress in a suit, I try to get away without a tie ..... or I wear my mandarin collar jacket ...
basic is shirt and pants .. don't really need to wear tie..
-
not like wearingthe pants and shirt + tie really makes men look nicer......

Hmmm..... they weren't given an ultimatum like 'Give yourselves up in the next three months, and we'll deport you without punishment' or anything like that?
So I guess desperation drove those fellas into giving up?
