There are two incidents taking traction in social media these days.
The first one is match-fixing allegation.
The second one is the Sampath Bank incident.
First thing first and let’s get to the match-fixing issue first.
An accusation was made by a prominent politician and some sort of an inquiry was held.
The finding of the inquiry was that no credible evidence to pursue the matter more, hence no further charges and or inquiries to be made.
Now the accuser is asking for another inquiry.
I think it will be a waste of time and waste of public money too because in this country no guilty will ultimately be punished, even one is found guilty by any inquiry if he or she has good political connections.
Now, most social media are awash with showing support to the players and lambasting the accuser.
Incidentally, one of the players and the accuser is from the same region of the country.
Let us see those who pledge support for the players are capable of walking their big social media talks when it comes to the upcoming general election in this country.
But I believe that all those big talks made on social media as only made for social media platforms and not really meant to walk them in the real world.
Let’s wait and see whether my prediction is right or wrong after the election is over.
And now let’s tackle the second matter involving a prominent bank in this country.
I think bank staffs made a grave error in that incident and the bank management has already apologized too.
Is an apology enough?
I think no.
This is solely due to a lack of training for their staff as well as to their outsourced staff.
The bank involved in this incident should have to relook at their communication and training methods to avoid such an incident again in the future.
There are some people who always try to fish in the muddy waters to get political and religious mileages.
As expected some posts have started appearing in social media sites from one segment of the society that they will stop associating with this bank immediately, after this incident.
Keeping someone’s money in a particular bank and or in a Piggy Bank is one’s own calling and no one will suggest any particular mode to any.
But if anyone listens to someone’s myopic advice and decide to go ahead and start keeping money in their very own Piggy Bank, then they will be the ultimate losers and not the bank nor the country.
The bank in question is the one who brought so much innovation and new facilities to the banking sector in this country.
It is the trendsetter and it is going to stay here for a long time to come but I am not so sure of those Piggy Banks that some are going to rely on keeping their extra cash.
On this matter, it will take a few more quarters to see whether my prediction is right or wrong.
Let’s revisit both issues after some time and see who is right and who is not so right.
