Assymetric Information
- You realise many in the area lack true understanding of environmental concerns, often believing no difference can be made on their own.
Script:
Developer Dick: Hi Emira, we are here to ask and advise politely that you vacate your current dwellings and move elsewhere to make way for our development project. We are willing to offer up to RM 500K to aid with finding a new place. This is a very generous sum and we hope you take up the offer.
Emira: Oh that's sudden. What is to be done here?
Dick: We want to demolish all the houses currently occupied by you and your neighbours, then get rid of the open green space. In doing these things we will have land to build a beautiful new condominium and new roads to feed into it.
Emira: Alright, let me think it through.
Script:
Emira: That money sounds so attractive I couldn't possibly turn it down. Thanks for the offer and I'll be out soon.
Dick: Knew you'd make the right choice. Thanks Emira and we will be in touch again soon.
Script: a public meeting between Emira and villagers
Emira: We cannot take up their offer! Do you realise what damage to our environment would mean? Trees down and the gases released from their trucks and vehicles will irreversibly damage this land.
Villagers: What can it mean? What can be the danger behind losing a few trees and the air becoming slightly stuffier? We all burn our trash out in the open anyway. Regardless, if we take the money and leave, we won't be around to see any of the bad.
Emira: We cannot think that way. Our environment is an irreplaceable treasure we must protect. Them cutting down trees would mean less shade and destruction of the habitats of our favourite animals. I will work with all of you to make ourselves more environmentally conscious.
Script: a public meeting between Emira and villagers
Villagers: Thanks Emira, we are now fully behind you and we want you to help us do our part for the environment. What should we do next?
Script: Another public area discussion, speech form for Emira
Emira: My fellow villagers, I'm so glad we all chose to stay where we are and continue to live out our lives here as we have for generations. Let's protect this land with everything we've got and we will start our path to a greener future by avoiding using plastic bags that pollute our rivers, kill our river creatures, and clog our drains. We will also put a stop to open burning which has caused our community much in the way of suffering and illness. Let's do this together!
Script: A one on one talk
Villager Firdaus: Emira, My grandma is sick with severe cough and she is asthmatic. The environmental situation has gotten so much worse and we're seriously suffering now. The noise from these developers is also unbearable and I cannot take it. I heard some villagers have lost their lives to the air quality. Is there something we can do?
Script: Shi Kai looks around and thinks to herself
I never thought people could be living in such dire straits. They can barely afford 3 meals a day and many struggle to provide for their children. I've also never seen so many homeless people in my life either. Is there anything that I should do?
Script: Shi Kai thinks to herself
It can't be that while I've lived my whole life in luxury, these people can hardly afford the basic essentials to carry on living. I will use the methods I have at hand to do my part in providing for them. Not just momentarily, but for the longer term.
Script: Shi Kai's uncle and neighbours get mugged on the streets
SK: Uncle, is everything alright?
Uncle: Of course not, I lost my watch and my neighbour Lim has lost much in the way of jewellery to a mugging yesterday.
SK: Oh dear, how did it happen?
Uncle: Some homeless guys just ran up to us and forced us to surrender whatever we had valuable.
SK: Why did you try and fight them? Now you're injured.
Uncle: You rich people won't understand what it means to have prized possessions that money can't buy.
Script: Homeless people in the shelter appraise SK and her team
The people: Thank you, thank you, we have now been able to see the light of day and may even be able to find work again all thanks to you. We will forever remember this and we cannot thank you enough.
SK: No worries, I'm grateful and humbled to serve and to enable future progress to some extent or another. This will forever be my greatest achievement no matter what I do in the future.
Script: SK returns home and is greeted by her parents
parents: My girl, we are so proud of you and we're sorry for what we put you through. Nothing can be more important than love and you showed us what a big heart you have and we don't. We promise to be different.
SK: It's alright mom and dad, let's live in peace from now on.
Script: SK watches a news report
News reporter: This week, a staggering number of homeless people in the area has committed suicide owing to being unable to feed themselves and their families. They gathered in almost a ritual fashion and ended themselves Meanwhile, 6 in the same area have succumbed to starvation, and 2 pedestrians were seriously injured followed violent attacks from desperate homeless people.
SK thinks to herself: Damn, how I could be comfortable watching this without doing anything more
Script: Gopal looks out into the main office space in his firm and thinks
Gopal: I'm nearing the end of my time here, look at my people, they're weary and burnt out. I think I'd rather not see them this way as I finish my time here. I want to be a head who left a tangible legacy behind.
Script: Gopal talks to his HR manager Alex
Gopal: I see that now much of the workers here are old, wary and largely of the same kind. I'm beginning to see them tire and see also that age is no guarantee of efficiency. What do you say to a new employment approach?
Alex: Yes, recently we failed to meet our KPIs although all workers are doing overtime everyday. I would recommend a new hiring process and an injection of new talent, boss.
Script: Gopal speaks to HR manager Alex
Alex: Boss, the new faces in our office are really making a storm, they're ambitious, yet humble and full of ideas and innovations.
Gopal: That's brilliant. People are always the strongest element in any corporation's arsenal, and we did the right move and invested in the right people.
Script: Gopal thinks to himself
Gopal: This progress is good, but there is always room to improve and to make this organisation and industry more inclusive and accepting. We should provide more opportunities for the people who do not have the chances that others have. After all, many talents sweepunder the radar.
Script: Gopal reads regulatory documents on ESG and speaks in a board meeting
Gopal: I think we are lacking in the categories of transparency and corporate integrity, we need to step that up and fulfil the ESG requirements in the very bare minimum, but I want to take ourselves to the next level.

Script: Gopal speaks to a worker
Gopal: Why do you and your team look so exhausted?
PM Daniel: We've been working till 2 am every night for the past 2 weeks and working 14 hour days everyday. Sorry boss, we're all pretty tired.
Gopal: Dan, do you think that this is affecting your working efficacy?
Daniel: I hate to say it, but I think it has, as we are now pretty sluggish and worn out in the office.
Script: Gopal watches on in the office as his workers struggle
The workers are arguing non-stop, there are big threats thrown around and everyone is much grumpier than they should be. Workers are being bullied, and progress is slowing right down to a halt.
