pre-stroke- my life as a contractor

the ampang hospital project must be when the end of my contracting life starts to fester. securing this multimillion ringgit contract was the easiest piece of business development, i.e. the job came looking for me, i did not have to suckup to anybody or take anyone out to the karaoke, to the golf club or overseas. it just came and landed on my lap, perhaps due to the early groundwork of dr norzan, jang, my erstwhile buddy from cardiff days, of whom i had been courting for a while, to cash in on his jkr network. after a while, horror of horrors, what do i know about building a hospital.that's when i took the most ill-fated of decision, to bring in my wife's cousin,iqbal, as a partner, on the basis that he had some knowledge of building construction, some mind you. things were initially going ok until we received our first payment from jkr. that's when the hidden hand behind abrar, our main contractor, descended unto k.l. and demanded a piece of the action. one party, led by ajmal, a british-based pakistani lawyer, whom i had previously had dinner in london with,wanted some of the proceeds, another party fronted by an arab usinessman demanded to know how we could be appointed the main sub-contractor by dr wan hasni of abrar.then the inside story surfaced, that abrar although nominally belonging to dr wan hasni, was actually riding on money from some sort of desert-sheikh which i understand runs to the tune of hundreds of millions, dr wan hasni, being of course one of DSAI's crony fronted this organisation, which i now believed is one of DSAI's creation. nevertheless, the Extortionist iqbal convinced me to split the proceeds from jkr amounting to almost 11 million Among us,i.e. myself, iqbal and dr norzan. how on earth did i easily succumb to this scheme, never for a moment did it occur to me to stop and ponder on the fact that the work we had performed up to that date never amounted to the 11 million figure,perhaps 1 million at most. i have never done this sort of thing before and thus the greed for money clouded my judgement, this money was not ours!!!! that i strongly believe was when the trials and tribulations that i am still currently undergoing begins. ya allah, i beg your forgiveness
shamefacedly , in a meeting with the board of abrar, the erstwhile exrortionist iqbal, showed his true colours, ya allah, he was abusive beyond belief. i have never before seen this monstrous side of his character and i was totally shocked into silence. some prefer to condone this type of behaviour in the name of corporate savvy, that'smahathirism for you.
