The next time I accidentally set my ez-link card alight and it burns to kingdom-come, I shall bring that small pile of ashes (or what's remaining of my ez-link card) out to the bus/MRT/LRT, tell the bus driver/station master to let me travel, since "they do not lose anything from it".
Talk about being a stupid fool, Mr. Kan. If you accidentally destroyed the vouchers, and all you bring to the cashier at the check-out counter is a heap of colored paper which looks like the remains of your 4 x $10 vouchers, and they still let you redeem the vouchers, then I can do the below:
I can go print out online specimens of the vouchers, wet it and crush it and mangle it up, and bring to the cashier and demand for it to be redeemed. There is no way to trace it, no way to track it, no way to monitor the abuse of voucher redemption process.
In fact, if they still let you redeem the vouchers, every motherfucker out there on the streets would do the same as me too!
Talk about being sour grapes.

No shit man. Then again, the exchange will only occur after the "extent of the damage has been assessed".
Looks good on paper, still doesn't mean a 100% guaranteed exchange. :)
