SG still is the luckiest among all other countries in the region. I also feel I am not directly affected should not complain too much comparing with those directly affected. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Supersonic July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 i watched one of the episodes earlier, thanks for putting this on 1 page. We are quite fortunate here although many have also lost their jobs. i am surprised there have been no race riots in neighbouring countries yet. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 Recently my friends and I received quite a lot of "part time jobs...... Etc from many different non-local numbers... My wife too.... I said these likely a scams too given if the are really genuine jobs posting why do they need oversea numbers? Unless they have something to hide. Hope such "jobs posting" are really looking a helping people out of jobs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator July 24, 2021 Share July 24, 2021 Saw the whole Episode and it is a poignant reminder that this is real in the meantime, we here who are employed and still in a relatively unfazed place must be in gratitude to be in this position. I definitely am! 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear July 25, 2021 Share July 25, 2021 (edited) Watched the 1st eps and the reality on the ground is real. What I cannot stand the english of our Singaporean.... every sentence must use the word Actually. I'm actually very tired. I'm actually trying to book a hotel right now. Actually, actually actually. Like a punctuation mark. Goodness.... even though the thai dont speak good english, its more bearable. The HK-ers english is the best amongst these 3. My apologies for nit-picking on their english.

Actually I’m also actually irritated with the use of actually!haha besides actually, there is the overuse of “can” which I believe is just a translation of 可以.

Whilst unemployment is lower, there's no note whether people earn same, more or less.....or whether one guy needs to work two jobs I would believe the case highlighted in this program may be common, minus condo, car, new baby etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

During this 'gig' period, does MOM consider them to be gainfully employed? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
