The main message, I believe, is that Singaporean graduates think that with a degree, they are better than people who are uneducated, of a different colour. Cleverly uses the theme of cash as a motif to highlight other messages that director wants to convey, such as money-oriented mindsets and self-entitlement.

I think the moral of the story is she judges people with their appearance and their caste. She never mix and speak politely with people .she gets skeptic with their looks and caste. She is in a constant humuliation that she has to work in a outfashioned store. She has become so selfcentered that she is missing the human aspect of life.though it's not necessary to speak politely but if you do you can get the same from them. actually there are good people u just have to mix with them, speak , behave well with them and trust them.

[@maxbien2382]

NEVER JUDGE A PERSON BY ITS COVER, EVERYONE COMES FROM VERY DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE

[@Mazecraze3]

Honestly speaking... I still liked the acting of the Chinese girl. Although she had a negative role, let's appreciate the way she acted it out

[@HM13.]

Ban Moh Heng! My favourite minimart! I always patronise that minimart. Uncle and auntie is very kind to customers.

[@darreny.x608]

I feel that her doings were logical. To be frantic under such situations is a sign of responsibility. People tend to compare her certificate with the job she is assign to in this video, and claim that it is a disgrace as she have no idea how to identify whether the money is real. If one were to fall under such situation, they would be frantic, as the company is being faced at a risk of losing 1000 dollar for a mistake being made by you, yourself. Thus, it is understandable and I believe most would do the same. We are not talking about 10 bucks, we are talking about 1000 here, and if that does not seem big to you, then you probably didn’t try hard enough to understand the actress situation. Disappointment is a thing, so as self doubt. Also, some people argued that that is the reason why she did not get accepted in the bank, however, I disagree as such an example itself is not suffice to state that conclusions. Banks have a different way of handling, and a bank does not run under just one person, there is more of a teamwork and much clearer clarification being done. Moreover, banks uses technology accompanied with huge manpower. I can go on with this argument, however, i feel that those who agree would agree, vice versa. Ive said enough, have a good day ahead.

[@yapgimkwee8842]

it shows a few things. nus graduate overvalued their degree and also when someone who is graduate and do lowly paid jobs, no face ☺ to face ex classmates who earn more money and are better in better jobs than ourselves and also suspicion of other people 's good intentions like all people are bad. look down on bangadash worker who break your things and can't pay. see people as fake Like the fake 1000 dollars and lastly poor customer service typical of Singaporean shops.

[@darreny.x608]

For those that does not get the main message of the video, i shall explain in my point of view. To me, the video is trying to convey that treatment towards others is crucial and a certificate does not deters everything. To allow oneself to compare with others is not the solution, there is a story behind why and how things is. For an example, there is a reason why with such certificate, she was unable to sustain her lifestyle and were being assigned to work in a convenient store. The story behind every man may not be as simplistic and straightforward as one think and it is too complex to the point where nobody could ever guess correctly what had happened to drive one to this point. I hadn’t even include the reasonings and background stories of any individual. In addition, to understand even a detailed story even if it is given, it is impossible as you can only relate, and never actually experience exactly how it is. Thus, i doubt that anybody could ever fully understand what one is going through, and the only way to help out, is to reach out and go another mile to either close an eye or to be strict; for there is no in between. There is a famous quote “For those I love, I will sacrifice” For this quote, it holds the same concept; to sacrifice to understand and learn from whoevers’ experience or to teach them that life sometimes does not provide empathy, and the best thing you can do is to stay strict and follow the rules and regulations when you fall under perplexity or doubts. The author of this story definitely have his own reasons why he made it. Perhaps, we can never know the true reason as even with details, we are all opinionated as a whole. This world is too opinionated to reach to a conjecture whereby a hundred percent of what one say can be agreeable that at best can they only be the most logical or concurring statement being made.

lesson learn: pride can make you crazy.

[@peasblossom1973]

She didn't "think she was better than anyone else" - one hopes that college will get you a good job where you can exercise your skills but, in today's environment, it's tough to get a job with even the highest of degrees because companies want to save money by hiring and promoting those who are more "uneducated" because they can be trained like puppets and command less money. People go university with high hopes, work EXTREMELY hard, and then end up working in a convenience store. Sad.
