#1: GOOD FINANCIAL DEED AS AN EMPLOYER
2015 was a good year for Crystal Jade employees. You see, their former boss gave bonuses of up to S$40,000 to current and former Crystal Jade employees in Singapore. I am referring to the Hong Konger and the Singapore permanent resident – Mr. Ip Yiu Tung.
Mr. Ip Yiu Tung is the former boss of Crystal Jade, a restaurant known for its delicious and juicy xiao long baos. He sold his stake and remained as the adviser and brand ambassador of the company. Upon earning a significant amount of money from his financial move, he decided to share his blessings. In an interview, he was quoted saying:

One of their employees, Mr. Jake, found S$50,000 wrapped up in a plastic bag at a corner of the client’s cabinet. The money was believed to be forgotten by their client. Mr. Jake made the best decision to return the money right away.
He gained much praise in the eyes of the Netizens, especially because his looks can be deceiving. Many were quick to point out that he was a trustworthy person despite appearing to be a muscular man covered with tattoos. This story goes to show that you must not judge a person’s character based on his or her looks alone!
#3: GOOD FINANCIAL DEED AS A STUDENT
How can you help someone financially if you have little to offer? Well, you may start by helping someone win the lottery! That was what Bryan Lee, a Nanyang Polytechnic student, did last year.
Let us begin the story. A couple supposedly won S$2,500 in 4D after dreaming of the lucky number. However, said couple lost the ticket. Storekeeper Neo Hock Wah said that his wife had used S$10 to buy a 4D ticket. Unfortunately, his wife dropped this ticket from her wallet while alighting from a bus.
Neo’s wife had taken a picture of the ticket. However, you cannot redeem the prize money with this method alone. To the Singapore Pools’ defense, anyone can digitally edit a “ticket” nowadays.
The couple decided to seek help from the Netizens. Fortunately for them, a student by the name of Bryan Lee picked up the ticket from the same bus the wife had taken.
Seeing that the ticket was in good condition, Bryan realized that someone might have lost it by accident. He contacted the worried couple via Wanbao.

In Bryan’s humble words, he said: “My priority was to find the owner. Just because I can collect the lottery money does not mean that was the right thing to do.”
