Hi Sir

Im not too sure if you remember me.

My name is Steven

I have emailed you regarding my job as a security guard and the challenges I
faced.

I am currently facing more problems than before and have thought of suicide
as a way out.

I would like to share my story with you but is it ok if you dont publish
it?

If it needs to be published I’m ok just hope you can edit it thanks.

I am looking for online counselling with you so that you can help me out.

Here is my story:-

I have worked in this security company for more than 3 years

I believe they have underpaid me by $400 every month.

Most security companies nowadays offer at least $1700 to $1900 but all I am
getting is only $1550 – which is way below the standard pay.

I feel very lost in life as I am only 23 now – how can one be optimistic when
he is working as a security guard at such a young age?

Many of my friends have already succeeded in their career at 23.

I am intrested in upgrading myself but I am having problems knowing what I
want.

I like this course called hotel management but thinking about it makes me
feel sad.

Firstly it costs $15k for the whole course. And secondly when I graduate it
dosen’t mean I can get a job in there due to the foreigner overload in this
industry or any other industry for that matter.

Gilbert could you advice me on how do I succeed in life?

I have asked many people on how do I go about doing it but many of my friends
and so called job counsellors only ask me go get a course and work hard at
it.

Their talk is easy. As for me now I heard that I can be a Supervisor and
after that Security OE but I am currently having problems.

Firstly, I dare not face up to hardship like for example when I am faced with
a new job that is tough I would give up easily then second thing is I always
face problems no matter where I go.

I wish you can help me in person.

I remember you asked me to meet you last time which I cant due to so much
stress at work that I did not even have an off day for a month.

I feel suicidal right now. Do you offer counselling over the phone?

Regds,

Steven

Hi Steven

Thanks for your mail and sorry to hear of your predicament.

Its true that making a living nowadays is tougher as say compared to twenty
years ago.

We now have to compete with cheaper foreign workers and there is nothing in
legislation to protect the home-grown local worker here.

I am glad that after receiving your first mail three months ago, you are
still in the same job as before and this shows that you are also tough and
hardy.

Life is tough and there is nothing to suggest that it will be easier.

However, the tough gets going and over time one gets better in managing tough
situations as we are always place in the mill.

I am ok to meet up with you in person if possible for a chat in the near
future.

Taking out one’s life isn’t the solution as firstly it does not resolve the
situation one bit and secondly it will leave behind a trail of misery for our
loved ones who will miss us alot.

Thanks and stay positive.

We are here for you.

This statement pretty much sums up the reason why sinkies are losing their jobs to FTs.

The pioneering Singaporeans didn't give up easily in the face of adversity. They faced it head on with grit and determination. Confronting hardship and overcoming the odds was the hallmark of a whole generation.

LKY was right all along. The country has become a nation of soft cocks. Without a large injection of fresh blood, the country is doomed.

And I thought you were going to comment/take issue with the above sentence in your capacity as a Singlish Exterminator.

If I started on the "Ingrish", I'd need another half an hour. Besides the letter has obviously been edited or the grammar would be even worse.

The gist of what he's saying is that :

1. He can't face hardship.
2. He doesn't know what he wants in life.
3. He's a mental case.

He claims to be underpaid by $400. If you ask me, he's being overpaid to the tune of $1550. What good would he be to ANY organisation given the fact that the smallest of problems would overwhelm his fragile disposition.

It's probably better off for the rest of us if he removes himself from the gene pool before he starts procreating with an even bigger loser.

 

[Leongsam]

This is the way he should go if he wants to make something of his life :

He needs a breakthru'. Come on Steven! Bring a couple of MIWs with you in your quest to end your life. Die a hero!

 

[shctaw]

I agree with you Steven. Now go and fulfill your wish.

Anyone someone must be low life in society. You have an important role to play.

He wants a relaxing job with high pay? The great Singapore Dream. Join the PAP.

Gaining entry into this elite group still requires hard work and determination either at wooing the right people or by scoring straight "A"s. It's not an easy club to join. Lots of effort needs to be put in beforehand.

The rot starts from the TOP, the PxP ministers have no spurs in the hide, what do you expect the citizens to follow? You are right on the younger generation being soft cocks, for they have not know hunger. There is no hunger in the belly & fire in their eyes...that goes for the PxP ministers too.

The country is sliding into oblivion...with people, who is not willing to be innovative, creative, ingenious & not willing to eat "humble pie" to "bite the bullet" & work themselves out of any situation...NO FIRE!

A loser asking another loser (Gilbert) what he's going to do in life.

Now, we're 'getting somewhere!' LOL

Trying what?

To be a clown?

There is something that can try and something that do not need to try.

Moreover, the unemployed bum is trying his tricks cos he thinks he has hit a Gold mine to easy wealth.

what a joke !

[ pioneering Singaporeans didn't give up easily in the face of adversity ]
we are in different time and different conditions. you comparison is bullshit.

[ Without a large injection of fresh blood, the country is doomed ]
you mean without a large injection of cheap labour ?

 

[BuiKia]

23 years old and he decides to be a security guard? There are so many things to do and learn. he deserves to be wasted.

 

[saratogas]

Why must he settle for such job... If he really love to guard something, he should sign on Police or Army... Salary higher and better career advancement. He is still young and physically fit...

1st 2 para i agree.

3rd para is typical pap bullshit. the system created by the pap created the people today. so now everyone's screwed up and we all nod our head while they import people to replace us? that's even more screwed up.
