A personal story of mine, and a cautionary tale for those who read it.

[Watandar]

This is it. Generation after generation gets ripped off. Every single generation learns that Pakistan is not a safe place for your money.

They rely on remittance from the latest set of chumps sent abroad (mainly poor labourers in the middle East and illegal immigrants in the west).

However they neglect us - those of us established abroad who still have ties in Pakistan who wish to invest to make money.

We see the potential - but everyone knows someone burnt. A very close friend of mine had a thriving Amazon business. He's in the UK. It bought him a house (5 bed semi detached, extended, paid in cash), paid for his wedding and he had change from it.

His supplier from Pakistan ripped him off - claimed several containers worth of produce was lost at Karachi port. Insurance didn't cover it.

He just accepted the loss, folded up the business and reinvested in 2 different businesses in the UK as well as a stocks portfolio.

He's wealthier than ever, who lost out - the crooked supplier and his Pakistan based supply chain.

And this will not change as long as the present system continues to survive thanks to remittances, IMF/world bank loans and services rendered to foreign countries.

Reading this thread makes me wonder how Pakistan has managed to still exist in the form it does today.

One word: we are jugard nation. We want to get rich quickly and with no effort. Bus koi tukka chal jaey hamara aur araam sa beth k khaen.

I know a guy who has been a supplier to PAF. They didn't release the contract money and demanded a bribe. I can't recall how cleverly he persuaded them to release it, and then he will give them. Anyway, he got his money, left Pak, and has settled here. He bought a 350k house here and is working in the aviation sector.

i guess it must depend because usually PAF will release a large % upfront, over half upon reciept of waybill, then remainder on acceptance

Seriously, no idea. I met him once at a family gathering. He also knew some of my batch mates who entered the aviation sector in 2011. He started as the electronics maintenance engineer and then finally setup his own business. I also believed him, as I have 2 nearly immediate accounts of how the internal audit team works (one of PAF and the other in CMH). It is unfortunate, but bribery is common there.

In summary, it is a loss for Pak. Just letting you know that China will need nearly 10k commercial planes in the next 20 years. The person who has a startup has gone back to the job (albeit a good one here)

thanks man, ive not had an FIR registered yet, i will wait and give him a chance to pay us back based on the dates he's claimed, once thats done, i will get him locked up, minus some of his teeth.

if he falls through on it, ill have him locked up regardless. Appreciate the offer and ill reach out to you depending what happens!

God bless you Bahi, FIA will carry investigation after FIR so don't let local thanna fob you off with their local topi drama.

Ofc being Pakistan is defendant wishes to do "Sullah" it is will within your rights to accept payment in full and drop case prior to any legal proceedings.

Happens all the time sadly.

Dear we went through alote of same stroies but my dad being silent type just took the pain and moved on but alote of time its just doesn’t go away people just keep on planning a heist

Anyway sorry for wht u went through
We overseas Pakistanis are most of the times subject to this hasad and hate

 

[Intervention-06]

Thank you my friend, the system may be slow, but we'll deal with this outside of the system, once the debt is repaid however ill have him locked up, but ill make sure its paid, one way or the other. The moron tried to keep hidden from us where he lives, but all it took was one little slip up and ive got it all now. CNIC, Address, number, he'll pay, one way or a

its just amazing how easily greed can overcome a persons morals and beliefs. I could never imagine myself doing such a thing. But hey, it’s a tale as old as time, and perhaps another nudge/reminder that the current system is utterly inadequate and we do infact need digitised land registries/documents!

Honestly I wake up every morning after dreaming about my lost Zameen - I can see the earth of Ladhe wala Warraich and - dream about a house where my Son is playing- after wake up and realise that I am back in the reality - back in one room apartment- with nothing left then Allah the Almighty- I start immediately listening Quran - without the words of Allah- I could not live this bitter life.
Inshallah justice will be served for every single person in this world if not in this life than the next!
