Question: Case 2: Doing good but not doing the right thing Ali and Nor are spouses and partners in a business called Segalanya Bendera. They made

Case 2: Doing "good" but not doing the "right" thing Ali and Nor are spouses and partners in a business called "Segalanya Bendera." They made and sold a variety of national flags in various shapes. About 40 percent of their total revenues came from a single wholesale retailer, GM Kuala Lumpur, the largest wholesale plaza in Malaysia. When Ali and Nor started their company, their son's classmate's father was a senior buyer at GM. The buyer, Yusuf, encouraged Ali and Nor to submit a bid to GM and he helped the couple establish the relationship that led to subsequent recurring sales at the retailer. Yusuf's wife, Sarah was the head of the school's PIBG and in charge of fundraising. Without Yusuf's asking, Ali and Nor started contributing significant sums of money to the PIBG. Yusuf never discouraged them from contributing. In a cost cutting move, Yusuf was laid off from GM and in his place, Bakar became the buyer who interacted with Ali and Nor. Bakar hinted to them that there were other vendors willing to supply flags at a lower price but that if they would contribute to their building of his (Bakar) community's softball park, they would continue to sell their product at GM. QUESTION 1 . Did Ali and Nor act ethically in contributing to the school's PIBG? (5marks) QUESTION 2 . If they agree to pay for the community park in exchange for business from Bakar, would Ali and Nor have acted ethically? (5marks) QUESTION 3 . Contributing to a PIBG and donating to build a community park are civic actions. Could Ali and Nor NOT be considered good actions because they indicate social responsibility? (10 marks)
