BANGKOK: -- A former Chulalongkorn University professor gave THB15,000 in cash (USD450) out of his own pocket as a reward to Sumon Matidul, 50, the bus conductor who found and returned THB1.1 million cash (more than USD29,000) to a passenger, who showed his gratitude by rewarding her with just two bags of candy earlier this week.

 

While many people praised Sumon, Asst. Prof. Theeraporn Verathaworn, a former lecturer at at Chulalongkorn’s Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy Statistics, rewarded the conductor with his own money as an encouragement for her honesty yesterday.

That makes 20.000 reasons for the "candy doctor" to be ashamed! Nice gesture khun Theeraporn Verathaworn!

Theeraporn, good on you sir, not like that tight wad of a so-called doctor.

The miserable git should be ashamed, for giving candy.

You have 1 million baht with you and you take a bus. Is the doctor stingy or stupid???"?

Nah, just Chinese  

[canuckamuck]

Of course you need to make sure everybody sees you giving the money. Make a giant check and call the press. Look how much character I have, I'm huge!!!

You really think the good misery doctor will feel any shame?

Don't think so.

My thoughts exactly.   The cheques I issue, whether for normal expenses or for charity, are for differing values but are all the same physical size and I do not invite the press for a self-promoting ceremony.  Having said that, I guess the recipient of his generosity could not care less and she is grateful for the cash whatever his motives.

Looks like someone is going into politics.

Sorry, but I have a different outlook......... I think this publicity had a reason that you haven't considered....... 

For one..... It didn't just let the tight-wad and his couple bags of candy just pass by 'quietly'..... His stinginess is well publicized now.....

Also with the 'publicity' so many more people are seeing a 'good example'..... for a change..... and that is of great value..... IMHO

Wait a minute....... Thai's are kind and generous, although most are poor and can't show it.....

It is the "Thai-Chinese" who fit the description of this 'CHEEPO' doctor ( will also include some of the richer Hi-So Thais with no Chinese blood.

[Stargeezr]

In the future this cheapo doctor should be paid with bags of candy to shame face

the cheap b*stard.
