The rich don't complain?

I saw this post in a facebook group I joined. A member commented about finding ways to solve the flood. And one member make this comment :-

"Just a humble opinion of mine...We can rant and wail about the government..But then things don't move because we create a din as to who is unfair and who is fair in society....Things move when we become an example and a beacon of hope for others to follow....Used to complain about the government...but ROI very low...We don't hear the rich complain ... See Moredo we? I am not saying that it should not be our concern...but then we should not wallow in the ineffectiveness of others. Instead use it as an opportunity to learn and progress.....and one day you will be in a position to not only point out what is wrong but also be the one calling the shots...."

At such situation, I do believed the rich will complain only if it hit their pocket. If their houses are in Bukit Timah, they will complain and moved out. They probably won't write to the press. They go with their connection all the way up to the government. What will they be thinking if they do not have houses in Bukit Timah and are not affected by the flood. They will think of whether they can make money out from it. They will think of a win win situation. They make money, they help the government, they help the people, they get good reputation. However, if they don't make money out from it, most likely, they will keep very quiet.

Again, just my view, putting myself in some rich people shoe which mean I am not one in the first place.
