KINIBIZ Tiger knows what it’s like to live in a hierarchy. The big cats on top, the small mousedeer and proletariat insects somewhere near the bottom. Even when the big cats are no longer at the top of their game, the rest of the jungle creatures cringe away from them in remembered fear.

Human society works in a similar fashion - although nowadays there seems to be the smell of rebellion in the air from the so-called peasants who don’t approve of how the big cats run things - and those on top are given opportunities to remain on top (or somewhere slightly above the regular person) once they leave their position of power.

Tiger is talking about former ministers and high-ranking ministry officials who go on to comfortably sit on the boards of universities and university colleges and colleges (so many names, but with no significant differences between them).

This kicks off an interesting cycle where they are invited to sit on these boards because of their former influence rather than their academic pursuits - and why would a school go forward with such an action if they do not expect anything in return.
