Ask these foreigners to give up their citizenship and migrate here.

Grass is always greener on the other side when you don't need to do the hard work of weeding, watering and fertilizing it.

You would be surprise many of them want to take up the citizenship here.

Not true lah. I got 'restructed' at 48 and restart my new career. It turns out to be a blessing in disguise. If I would have stayed, I can see there isn't anything to look forward. Have a positive mindset and adopt a 'if that guy could, why can't you' attitude.

It was very stressful when you need to put food on the table for 7 mouths. But, the struggle was all worth it looking back. Gald it is all over. The pig has to jump over the wall lah. 😆

Imagine a family of four 

All doing similar, then a household income of $20k....

Jiak bey liao already.

using time and effort for so little money is pathetic.  the sooner he realises, the better.

but alas, once you are trapped in that , such as he, there will be no realisation.   

the moment he stops pedaling, the money stops too.  good luck to him, hope he maintains his hardworking attitude but doesnt stay foolish for too long 

 

For $15 an hour?  you can be a waiter at a hotel and do better

I think if he cannot hold down regular jobs, this gig job is the best for him, better than sitting around at home or making everyone unhappy at work place. But 20 hrs a day is not realistic - 4hr of rest?

A bit like those coolies in SG early years ploughing the rickshaws to ferry people around, then now is ferry food or grocery etc. 

Also with such jobs don't have chance of career progression. 

I agree, as a wait staff probably has better career progression than doing delivery as he ages.

If he becomes waiter probably only work 9 hours and less labourious.

Technically speaking.  There is nothing wrong with using labour to exchange for income.

But quite Sad After 3 generations.  They might end up doing what my dad ( a farmer) is doing. 🙄
