More precisely when I was a child. Son of school teacher called modest beginnings is wrong. Call a spade a spade should be called middle class comfortable upbringing!

Is it fashionable to call yourself from humble background when you are from middle income family? I would call myself from middle income family if I am him and not humble background.

It’s not fair to people with real humble background for such people that live easy comfortable middle income life to call themselves from humble background.

Oh so if his father let him learn piano - which of course their income can easily afford to - no longer humble background?
Thank goodness his parents didn’t upgrade to landed property and benefit from Singapore property boom - many with this kind of family background did - if not cannot call himself humble background liao.
