Pretending as a royal to skip the queue for concert. Hmm…

Do you hate queuing for food? Concert?

I hate queuing for food. Perhaps 10 minutes is okay but I will never queue for even half an hour no matter how famous the restaurant is. I will come another day or I will find another place. I have a friend who refused to even queue for food because he said, “I am not a prisoner…” I think his comments are a litttle extreme but nevertheless, I think people dislike queuing. However, I will never try to skip a queue if I am in a queue. Fairness is important to me and whoever came earlier should go in first and it should be first arrive, first to go in.

Article in nst.com.my. A 49-year old Singaporean man was fined S$5,000 after he and his daughter, 17, tried to deceive a concert organiser by claiming they were from the Selangor Royal family to avoid queuing up for the concert.

“On Jan 20, the offender called event organiser Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) after finding their number online. He told the organiser a princess from the Selangor Royal Family would be attending the concert on Jan 20 and Jan 21, and had purchased tickets.

“Explaining that he was the princess’ bodyguard, the man told the event organiser that he did not have tickets to the concert. He asked for access to ensure the safety of the princess. In response, the organiser asked the offender to turn up earlier on Jan 20 to facilitate his entry,” CNA reported.

The report said the event manager grew suspicious of the pair and ran some background checks to verify the matter when he discovered that the daughter was not a Selangor princess.

The next day when they came back for the second day of the concert, the organiser called the police on them. Article in nst.com.my.

Not queuing and trying to deceive is not so clever lah

I think if I try to pretend as someone rich, it’s likely to be tough. Somehow they have that kind of look, for those who pretend. For the ones who are really rich, well, they seem relaxed and to them it’s just another normal day as a rich person. So, for the ones who want to pretend, it’s usually easy to catch. I definitely would not dare to pretend to be a royal even if Malaysia’s does not have the lèse-majesté law like Thailand.

“In Thailand, lèse-majesté is a crime according to Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code. It is illegal to defame, insult, or threaten the monarch of Thailand (king, queen, heir-apparent, heir-presumptive, or regent).” Source: wikipedia.com

Anyway, if queuing is truly necessary, then I will queue lah. I have queued for GRAB taxi, queued to enter the airplane, queued to enter the public shower room and I can definitely queue. I think the father in the above case will be so relieved that he was only fined instead of having to spend some time in the jail. Remember guys, at the concert, just queue yeah.

Happy deciding and acting based what you think.
