Being a Jury

My boss and the HR Director asked me if I want to become the panel of jury for a Domestic Inquiry and for the fun of it I agreed! =) Can "8" about people's stuff mar... hehe =)

So today I went for the Domestic Inquiry (DI) as one of the jury. Domestic Inquiry occurs when there is an employee misconduct within a company and they would like to investigate if the person is guilty or not before they decide the next action. Hence I was the jury for a DI of another company. However being a jury in DI you are allowed to ask questions unlike in a court.

Anyway, my DI was not as "interesting" or as "fun" as I hoped cause after the allegations were read, the person being charged admitted guilty to all the charges *cheh!* However, there is something "QK" (weird / suspicious) about this case. I'm only gonna tell part of the story (the QK part).

Characters of the story:
A, (the person being charged) is a sales exec.
B, (the witness and also the victim) a house buyer.

Ok, this is B's side of the story:
B wants to buy a house and went to a show unit and met A. B is interested to buy the house and A told B that B will need to pay a deposit in order to secure the house. However, B told A that B has got a problem in getting the loan because B needs to sell off the current house before B is eligible to apply for loan for the new house. A told B that it is not a problem and A will allow B some time to arrange for all those but B needs to pay a deposit of RM X for the house. So B in eagerness to buy the house gave A part of the RM X and promised to give the remaining as that was the only cash available at that time. B then left without even getting a receipt. The next day A went to look for B at a location outside the show unit and B gave the remaining amount to A and A gave B a purchase proforma for a house unit F31. B then left without having a receipt and the only thing B has is the purchase proforma. After that A did not call B and B did not call A. After about 4-5 months B said B called A and told A that B is in the process of selling the current house and A told B that it is ok. And A never call B and B never call A. After a few more months B feels weird that B never receives any letter from developer or any call from A. B tried to call A but could not get A. About close to a year after the time B paid the deposit. B went to the new house and saw that the progress of the construction of the new house is going well and casually ask the security guard there about the houses there and point to the new house that B has bought but the security guard told B that in his knowledge that house belongs to the owner of a different race as B. B becomes suspicious and went to the developer and found out that B is not the owner of the house and the unit F31 does not even exist. Hence B reported this incident.


A's side of the story is:
B came to the show unit and A persuaded B to buy the house. However, B told A that the house is too expensive but A keep on persuading B. B then gave A the deposit and then told A that B will need time to sell B's current house in order to get the loan. A then told B that once A submitted the deposit, B will have at most one month time to get the loan. Hence B told A not to submit the deposit yet to allow B to have more time. Within the month, A keep calling B to produce the documents and B gets irritated and told A to not call again! A then couldn't get hold of B and assumed B is not interested in buying the house anymore and A does not have a chance to return the deposit to B. About the error, A said that it is actually unit E31 and not F31 and A made a mistake in the form.

A pleaded guilty to taking the deposit and not declaring to the company. The story was the reason of him doing so.

To me, A is probably lying or making up the story cause I asked B if B has told A not to call anymore and B said no. B also said that B has never asked A not to submit the deposit. Plus also there are a few other charges on A doing some other frauds which A also pleaded guilty.

However I am really curious on B!! How can B thinks that B has bought the house by paying RMX (which is only about 0.5% the total amount of the house)????? Got people so DUHHH???? *hehe* If you pay down payment of 10% i still can understand lar!!!! ish!!!!! Also, within ONE WHOLE YEAR no calls no nothing!! If you have ever buy a house before you would know that you are only given a limited amount of time to get the loan and all in order to purchase the house after you pay a deposit. How can you think that you can pay 0.5% of the amount of the house and after one year without producing any documents to the sales person and developer and still get the house?? One year is a long time lar.... the sales person don't call me I also will call lar!!!!! ish!!!!!!! And pay money don’t ask for receipt!!!!!!! ishhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
