How many doctors in India can afford Lamborghinis?

Perth police a few days ago impounded a speeding Lamborghini. The cars owner? One Dr Nugawela, who seems to have done quite well for himself despite racist Australians' anti-Asian-of-subcontinental-origins prejudices.

Am not sure what your point is, but the fact is a lot of doctors in India can afford Lamborghinis. It's just that many choose not to own one. If you didn't know, doctors in India work many more, and quite inhuman, hours than their counterparts in the West, and get paid on a PPP basis on par. And not to mention, many of them can hide their incomes very well in the Indian tax regime.

My point is that Australians are meant to be racists yet a doctor apparently of sub-continental origins has enough patients to be able to afford a very expensive car. By the way, I'm about as white as it is possible to be yet my current doctor is from Ghana and my previous doctor was ethnic Chinese.

Hi JF
I saw an interview with the doctor and thought it was most unfair that the car had been impounded under the hooning laws. The person driving the car was the mechanic charged with repairing/tuning the car. It would be better if the mechanic's car was impounded as that would hurt him, not the doctor.
