Before he started a second career as a hawker, Bobby was working as a quality assurance manager. “I was retrenched when my company closed down. I thought I could withdraw my CPF at 55 [to live on], but I was only 50. So I had to borrow money to survive,” he recounted.

He tried to look for another job. “I went for so many interviews, over 100, but it was hard for a person my age to find a job. Some companies would tell me their job position was taken up, but a while later, the same post came up again! So I guess maybe they didn’t want someone my age,” he said.

Out of employment avenues, Bobby decided to upskill himself by selling insurance policies and taking cooking classes at social enterprise Dignity Kitchen. “I became a hawker after I gave up trying to look for a job. No choice, I need money to survive,” he pointed out.

[KILLjoy]

singapore not meant singaporeans

the ruling party will try all ways to make it a nation of theirs

since when they ever spare a thought or so for singaporeans?

they reserve much more for the aliens than citizens; look a minimum sum for SP EP, any for locals?

citizens are handy when coming to election, just wait and see for yourself

whenever aliens throw their holier than thou attitude onto citizens; citizens will be told to reflect and integrate

this little red menses dot is toxic and disgusting place to be

just pent up and vent it all whenever available

.
In Singapore, a large majority white collar seniors mid life crisis ended running hawker stalls.

Highly thoughtful, Singapore Govt provide a trampoline for seniors to bounce ups and downs.

And then, seek to launch his company IPO and be listed on SGX
