a black card from either amex or visa is a status symbol. they don't offer it to anyone who has a good credit; they offer only to those who have cut a check recently for usd300k in a single purchase. the fee is around usd499 per year to have the privilege of holding the card - peanuts when compared to $$$ spent.
a sex scandal ?!!
not just any kind,
but those absolutely debauched ones that breaks the record of previous sexual taboos,
with actual pics & videos of them in various positions.
it seems like some sort of perverse exhibitionistic trend these days.

People who can't speak their mother tongue don't really think it's a status symbol, although some may pretend that it is.
It's to try and justify their own inadequacy, a little bit like sour grapes.
Are you going to say or not? This is getting tiresome leh. Plus the longer you hold out, the higher the expectations and the bigger the disappointment when you reveal this supposed strange status symbol.
The first man walks from his lexus towards the coffee shop. He adjusts his burberry polo shirt as he sits down, while looking at his rolex gold watch. He takes out his platinum card from his wallet, then realizes that he is at a coffee shop, puts it back and takes out $2 instead, to pay for his kopi.
His luxury stuff are all mainly paid by credit, he wonders whether he can service his debts. His small business hasn't been too good lately, recently, 2 new shops doing similar business have opened up nearby. The first shop, owned by a fillipino, is selling the same products at 75% of his prices. The second shop, owned by a prc national, is selling at his prices, but the owner has employed 2 prc women with big tits as his salesgirls. Men are flocking to this shop.
The man wonders what is happening.

I think you will indeed be disappointed, after all the interesting and exotic ideas thrown up in this thread.
But do read what I have to write. You might very well agree.
The second man is already seated in the coffee shop. He is there most of the day anyway.
His plain white t shirt is a little stained, his shorts rather worn out. He isn't even sure what time of day it is.
He still can't believe that he lost his IT job. He went for reservist training for 3 weeks, the company hired a part time guy to cover for him. When he came back, after 2 weeks, he was told that he was being made redundant. He was indignant because he felt that he had done the work well at not too high a salary, but he had no choice. Meekness was in his nature.
Later, he heard from his ex colleagues that the company had hired the part time guy to do his former job. The indian national didn't seem to know too much about the systems, but he was a glib talker and could almost convince the boss that the sun set in the east. The helpdesk was almost always on the line and sometimes on site.
The man worries about his life, but he doesn't know what happened.

Hahaha, be patient my friend.
There is a little commotion.
People are whispering that the honourable mp is on his "walkabout".
"Comes once a year", someone mutters.
Nobody else dares to say anything, most of them look nervously at one another. Among these are the 2 men.
The 2 men stand up, together with several other people in the coffee shop. The mp is not yet in sight.
The mp finally appears, closely followed and surrounded by his entourage.
The 2 men shake his hand in turn. Both have similar curious smiles on their faces as they shake his hand. They seem pleased. They sit down and drink their kopi.

Then, something strange happens.
Both men take out a newspaper from their respective plastic bags.
Each has a strange smile on his face as he unfolds his own newspaper, a strangely proud and triumphant smile.
They happen to look up and at each other. They look at what the other is reading.
It's not the afternoon tabloid which is a favourite of teenage boys and young male executives who like football.
It's not the chinese papers which is the common preferred reading these days, given the amount of prc nationals around and the number of people eager to check if their lucky numbers have brought them fortune.
It's not the malay or tamil newspapers, which the 2 men don't understand anyway.
It's not the papers about wealth and money, which the 2 men don't totally understand anyway, and have always considered it the reading of corporate bigwigs and big-time businessmen.
But it's the papers that they are really proud to be reading and to be able to read, unlike many people they know. It's the papers that provide them with all the information that they need to know.
With a glint in their eyes and an approving nod at each other, they start reading their paper, with a strange smile on their lips.
As they turn the pages, they nod sagely at some of the reports and commentaries. When they reach the forum page, they wonder if they should write in to say how pleased they were to meet their mp and what a good job he has done.
Although they don't exactly know the details of what he has done or not done.
Like we observed earlier, they don't really know what is happening.

So the strange status symbol is:
1) Someone who's written to the Forum Page
and/or
2) Someone who had a close encounter with a MP (and wrote to the press about it)
and/or
3) Someone who's been screwed by FTs
