Daddy: Yes what do you want?
Salesman: Hi uncle, will like to change your window grills to these?
(Shows us brochures)
We are actually partnering with HDB for these changes.
Definitely approved by HDB..
(Why do you need to be approved by HDB if you are partners with them?)
Daddy: What windows?
Ours are checked and verified by the authorities, dont need to change.
Salesman: Oh no la uncle you see,
Recently got a lot of cases of old windows falling onto passer bys who are walking beneath the block..
So we will like to help you change all your windows..
This is in fact encouraged by HDB..
(First you are partners, then you became approved, now become encouraged)
The salesman began to take out a few newspaper clippings of reports of windows falling onto passer bys, BUT, still no certificate or whatsoever by HDB..
Daddy: No la we dont need them..
Salesman: Why not uncle? These are damn strong windows..
You see..
Daddy: We are moving house.
Salesman: ... ...
Okie in that case please let me know if you like these windows in your new house..
