In Singapore, the Singaporean worker is to compete with CECA FTs from India, and when it comes to wages, the Singapore worker is at a distinct disadvantage, bcos of his age and      expected salary.........

Earlier this year, a six-month study by local charity Beyond Social Services found that the median household income of families who sought the group’s help had plunged from 1,600 Singapore dollars ($1,187) before the COVID-19 pandemic to just 500 Singapore dollars ($371).

More worryingly, a second study, which detailed the effect of the pandemic on people renting government-owned flats between July and December 2020, found food insecurity was increasingly prolonged.

Residents told Beyond that they sometimes coped with the lack of food by filling themselves up with liquids or starches, buying cheap and filling items, and making choices based on financial considerations rather than nutritional value.

For instance, some families would eat only one meal a day or give their children coffee creamer in hot water because they could not afford formula milk. The report warned the issue could escalate into a serious public health matter, with links to increased mental stress and the development of chronic health conditions.

Really sad cases. G looking the other way? Or G going to ask, “where, who, name, date” to show proof?

Nowadays it is important for pmets to have a backup plan by age 50 and be mentally prepared to be retrenched. Either have enough passive income to retire or have some other skill for an alternative career or small business. Don't live under the shadow of having to fear about your job or not being able to find a job. All these retraining can only help to a very limited extent.

AGEISM. Only One & Only developed country- Singapore encourages ageism for the past maybe 6 or 10 years.

Singapore die die MUST have job discrimination so that unfettered Employment Pass can exist.
