Quote:
A Pakistani hotel employee has won acclaim after handing in over $50,000 (£33,000) in cash that had been left behind by a guest.

Essa Khan, 51, discovered the money in $100 notes left in the room of a Japanese worker at the Serena Hotel in Gilgit.

Mr Khan, who earns about 21,000 rupees ($235; £153) a month, says he never considered keeping the money.

He has been invited to receive an award from a state governor for his honesty.

"My duty with the hotel and my family upbringing teaches me nothing else," he said.

"Times are hard for everyone, but that doesn't mean we should start stealing and taking things which do not belong to us."

I don't know if I could hand that much money in. Especially if I thought I could get away with it.

Likewise, ESPECIALLY since that poor bastard earns less in a month than most of us do in a week.. or even less. God.. hearing about how much he earns really boils my blood because it's simply fucking scandalous! You can bet that dude works his ass off, just like any other worker, and he might as well get paid in chocolate buttons Sad

Wow, that is so admirable it borders on insanity. Can't we detect these people with an MRI or something, and let them rule us instead of the psychopaths we elect into office?

Probably but sometimes when doing business in certain countries, executives get large amounts of cash from their companies to 'facilitate' negotiations with their local contacts.
