On Mar 15, 2012, I visited Khin Khin who operates the
Khin Khin Employment Agency in Singapore. A fair
lady in black with silky see-through on upper part was
in sitting on a chair behind me in her room. "Can you
remember her?" Khin Khin pointed her to me.
"Well, I do," I said. "She was the one working for an
interior design company and wanted to quit within a few
days of starting work because she had a hard time from
the boss and her country-woman who did not want to teach
her how to use the Auto-cad software."
Khin Khin always emphasized to employers the
attractiveness of a prospective candidate looking for a
job in Singapore. As if the physical appearance of a
female job candidate counts and she considered this girl
"pretty".
I had met this Myanmar girl in her office some weeks
ago. She wanted to quit and I had advised her not to.
"It is not easy getting an employer in Singapore," I
said to her. Just wait. Your country-woman is going back
for a holiday soon. Wait."
After that I did not see her till today.
As
a picture is worth a thousand words, I have uploaded a
picture of another lady whose facial features and
fairness in complexion resembled this lady. A
rectangular-shaped face, big eyes, porcelain complexion,
beauty enhanced by a knowledge of how to use make up
effectively to highlight the features. A black number of
good quality dress material. Well groomed.
Khin Khin continued: "Her boss forced her to write a
resignation letter. She cried in buckets of tears after
that. Her mother took her to a fortune teller in Yangon.
The fortune teller said that she would get a job in
Singapore soon. She attended an interview. The new
employer keyed in her details to MOM and she got the
reply the next day. She got an S Pass within 24 hours."
I was much surprised as MOM does reject and delay
applications for S Pass for many employers whose
applications Khin Khin had submitted. Maybe these were
"not strong" employers, according to Khin Khin.
I was more surprised that the fortune teller could
predict so accurately.
"Well, she went to see Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) in a
temple in Bugis," Khin Khin said. "She promised to make
an offer of $200 if she gets a job in Singapore."
"So was it the prediction of the fortune teller or the
power of Kuan Yin?" I asked.
"Or both?"
Khin Khin is a Buddhist and does not believe in Kuan
Yin's power. But she said: "It must be Kuan Yin."
The fair lady did not comment as I did not talk to her
and she was in a hurry to go for another appointment. It
was good news as it was practically impossible for her
to work in the first employer's place without the depth
of knowledge of Auto-cad and thereby needing the help of
the incumbent. I could see that the incumbent would not
teach her as that would mean being replaced by a lovely
lady. Why should she? The working place is a ferocious
jungle where good looks do count. So this young girl had
no chance at all.
The boss forced her to resign possibly because the
incumbent had threatened to quit. And it is not easy to
find Singaporeans who can work in AutoCAD as employment
is quite full in Singapore. Most young Singaporeans can
find a job if they will work.
The next day, I phoned Khin Khin about other matters.
She said: "The little girl asked me to accompany her to
Bugis as she would be offering $200 to Kuan Yin. I went
to pick up a stick from the container. Devotees throng
this temple to ask the Kuan Yin for better business and
health and would pick up a stick from the temple's
container after praying.
The temple person said that it was "bad". What is "bad"?
"I don't know," I dared not say as I don't know the
significance.
Khin Khin said: "I was asking for good reincarnation for
my father." Her father of 82 years of age passed away
last month.
"Since you don't believe in Kuan Yin," I said. "You
don't have to worry about "badness" forecasted in the
stick. Khin Khin had got a piece of paper from the
temple and burnt it (to ward off the bad spirits?).
In any case, the story of this lovely girl getting an S
Pass to work for another employer within the predictions
of the fortune teller is true. If that fortune teller is
so accurate, I should be flying to Yangon to consult
him. But I rather not do that in case he predicted a bad
future for me.
This is the 2nd incident I heard about an accurate
prediction from a Yangon fortune-teller. The first
involved a person having great difficulty in collecting
a business debt in Singapore. He consulted the fortune
teller who predicted that he would get his money back.
When he came back to Singapore, the debtor agreed to pay
him, by instalments.
In conclusion, is there any scientific explanations or
do some Yangon fortune tellers have powers of predicting
and changing the future?
