59yo disabled man after many skills upgrading hard to find jobs, 1 offer $500/mth

[TerrexLee]

SINGAPORE: Former construction company owner Chen Chee Min suffered a stroke in October 2010 which left him paralysed on his left side.

He has been looking for a job again since then. To bolster his chances, Mr Chen took up one course after another – from digital marketing to building information modelling - under training providers brought in by SG Enable. The job offers that did come his way were either unrealistic - one firm offered to pay S$500 a month for him to design websites six days a week - or they were suddenly rescinded. He would be told: “You don’t have the right skills.”

He must upgrade some more! A Bangla FT can design websites for $200 per month, work seven days a week.

Stroke is scary, if die still ok. End up bedridden, or handicap really is worse than die

Better to be dead than to be disabled. Life has a cost n these ppl by not dying have to pay for it. It's either death or poor quality of life n standard of living. Die or live to suffer

He's disabled. I wouldn't dare hire him to be a security guard, let alone handle a computer in my company.
