BTW after a locksmith helped you entered your flat, does it mean you will have to leeplace the lock?

Once I lost my key pouch outside and thought cham liao will need to call for locksmith. Luckily someone picked it and handed to security guard in x place.
I tried to Lee call all the possible places that I last went and finally found it in x place after asking the guard.

The elderly just wanted to cover his petrol.
This is not right.
People tan jiak one.
Being elderly is not a privilege.
Ah ma have to compensate his petrol + time spent.
But I think $80 probably on the high side.
Probably $50 $60 bah

In this case, by right it should be a ileegal trade.
Locksmith job should be exclusively dedicated to a gov ministry aka spf , and they can sub con to their vetted and approved vendors.
