Once a upon a time, there was a magistrate in a certain province of China who loved his people so he will do whatever he can to protect them. One day, while he was having his lunch, he choked on the fish and was in pain for hours before he could get the bone out. Then he thought to himself, it is so dangerous to eat as you can get choked, I almost died because of that. Being the loving magistrate, he decreed that eating food is bad for you and banned everyone in the province from eating. And to prove his determination, he ordered the townsfolk to bring all their food and burn them so no one will risk choking in the future.

One day passed and some peasants came to the magistrate to appeal against his decision to ban eating. Without food, they cannot plow the field as they have no strength. But the magistrate was firm and rejected their requests, he told them they could do other work such as sewing to feed their family, and sewing does not require strength. So another few days passed, the magistrate was also very hungry and he realised his foolishness. He ordered the ban to be lifted and all the fruits to be harvested to share with the people in his province.

In another unrelated story, there was a company that runs the local mass transport train services in Singapore who loved their passengers. One day, the gahmen found some suspicious men filming the train stations and gathered some evidence that the train stations could be a target for terrorist attack. They learn that terrorist work by dropping bombs and/or poisonous gas in dustbins and postal boxes so the company decided to do away with their dustbins and postal boxes for the safety of their passengers (and hence improve their services and justify for a hike in fare). This had a deterrent effect on the terrorist...

Terrorist Boss: Ah man, go bomb City Place train station...
Terrorist Ah man: Boss how you want to bomb?
Terrorist Boss: Get my suitcase bomb and drop in the dustbin lar!
Terrorist Ah man: But Boss, no dustbin how to drop?
