The Ant and The Grasshopper

I believe many people have heard of this story during childhood. Well, there is a twist in the new version. Like it or not, it's gonna stay this way for a long, long time....

Old Version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter. A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.

Came winter, the ant was warm, comfortable and had no shortage of food. The grasshopper had no proper shelter, no stored food, and couldn't find anything to eat from the snow-covered ground. So it died and the story ended.

New Version

An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its nest and laying up supplies for the winter. A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly enjoying the summer.

Came winter, the shivering grasshopper called a press conference and demanded to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while he was cold and starving. TV1, TV2 & TV3 showed up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper alongside to a video clip of the ant in his comfortable home with a table full of food. The majority of the MPs were stunned by the sharp contrast. How could this poor grasshopper be allowed to suffer?

Kheiry staged a demonstration in front of the ant's nest. Nezry went on a hunger strike along with other grasshoppers demanding that they be relocated to warmer climate area during winter. The Government immediately passed a law forbidding all ants from working hard in the summer so as to bring about equality of poverty between ants and grasshoppers. Hishammudyn increased 'More Special Reservations' for grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services...

The ant was fined for failing to share 30% of his food with the grasshopper. The PM announced that this was part of the NEP. No ant should question it. Many years later...Some ant migrated to the US and set up multi-billion dollar companies there.

Hundreds of grasshoppers still died of starvation despite the 'More Special Reservations'. Losing significant number of hard working ants and free loading the grasshoppers, Bolehland remained a developing country, despite its abundant natural resources....all because the remaining ANTS were still doing their work.

Latest finding showed that almost all the grasshoppers in the political arena and civil service were hoarding corrupt wealth which they refused to share with fellow grasshoppers causing the poor grasshoppers to retaliate and demand for a REFORM!
