You can't be self-reliant if you don't have a job

Mr Goh Wee Meng, 24, lives in a five-room flat in Tampines with his parents, brother, 23, and sister, 18.

He graduated from the Singapore Institute of Management in December last year with a marketing degree. He has been looking for a full-time job since August last year so that he would have ready employment after graduation, but he has not been successful so far.

His 50-year-old father, the family's sole breadwinner, is a crane operator with PSA and earns about $3,000 a month. The family's household bills amount to about $1,000 a month.


What's for reunion dinner this year?

Every year, we gather at my grandmother's house in Kallang and have a potluck-cum-steamboat dinner. This year, my family is contributing steamboat ingredients like mushrooms and vegetables. Others may bring curry.


What was for reunion dinner last year?

We had steamboat last year as well, with about 20 to 30 family members. There were pork liver, chicken, fishballs, prawns and vegetables. We're not cutting down this year as the cost of food is shared among all the relatives.


How was the Year of the Rat for you and your family?

Near the end of last year, my father took a cut in incentives so he took home about $300 less. I realised how bad the economy was when I sent out about 40 resumes in August and got no response. We still had cash flow and savings though, so we were not that crippled.


What is your biggest fear for the Year of the Ox?

That I won't be able to find a job. I'm looking for one, preferably in marketing.

I currently have savings from my part-time job, doing administrative work, and I'll get some Chinese New Year hongbao, but these will help me survive only till April.


How did the Budget help you?

We'll definitely save some money, which will go into the pool we keep for family savings in case anything happens.


Any wish list?

I wish that the Government would implement some policies which would help with finding jobs and improving the unemployment rate.

They keep telling us to be self-reliant, but we can't be self-reliant without employment

The real story here should have been about Mr. Goh Senior, the father of that typical brainwashed, whiny Singaporean Chinese Goh Wee Meng. Wee Meng like his fellow Chinese males has a BMI (Body Mass Index; as seen slouching in the picture) comfortably above the average. Daddy’s hard work and $$$ have been wasted giving this fucker a degree. He like his fellow Chink losers probably blames the 66% for voting the PAP.

The reporter should really have asked the whiny brat what type of jobs he applied for and what his expectations are? I bet junior did not consider, the military, police, civil defence or the thousands of jobs in the civil service created by the govt. How about following in his father’s footsteps and consider a blue collared job in this rough times?

I truly respect his father a 50 year old blue collared worker earning $3k (probably less now after pay cut) and sole bread winner. He raised 3 kids, has a 5 room flat in Tampines, provided food and paid for all of his kid’s education and junior’s degree. He's one of the rare breed of Chinese.

Any motherfucker out there wondered how Mr. Goh was able to do all these? Or still blaming the 66% if not the govt?

you they had interviewed his father, you will realized that why his father work like shit in as a crane operator so that he could send his son to the university, so that he won't have to work like shit as him.

but unfortunately, things doesn't turn out well for him, so what do you expect his father and him to vote for PAP in the next general election?

FAT HOPE!

FAT HOPE!

Regardless of what the govt tells you; bottomline is that they don't owe you a living. Its not unique to Singapore either. It works the same elsewhere.

What's ironic is that Singaporeans still believe that they can vote the PAP out. Dictators do not get voted out. No evidence in history either. Dictatorships always end in violent revolution. Singapore will be no different.

The fact that 75% (at least) are pinning their hopes on the ballot box tells me they want want change but not pay the price that comes with change. PAP OWNS the ballot boxes, hook, like and sinker.

Overthrow the PAP thru ballot boxes = FAT HOPE!
