Dear Gilbert,
I’m a 40+ year old Singaporean (born here).
I have left my employment of many years, a few months ago, without a job.
I just couldn’t continue working there because of my financial issue.
I was also not getting regular pay nor receiving my allowances/claims.
I held on but the final straw came when they wanted to stop the CPF contributions. That was the final nail on the coffin for me.
After leaving, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders. I felt so relieved.
Like I was in a calmer place.
I have been looking for a new job before I left but nothing happened.
I kept submitting application after application.
All in all, I think I may have submitted over 300 job applications within 2 months. Not a single reply from anyone.
The stress and pressure from all sides were affecting me badly.
At the same time, I was reading a lot from various local social media – Singaporeans losing their jobs and the FT situation.
I knew there were just too many FTs and many fellow Singaporean brothers and sisters were facing problems along the way.
