Woman & GM hubby with 3 kids both retrenched need to service >$5k loans..jialat

[nightsafari]

About two weeks ago, Madam Kristin Goh, 38, served her last day as a guest services executive.

Understandably so. Her company offers corporate housing, and business had dried up entirely as the outbreak hit Singapore in late January.

"Companies started cancelling or postponing business trips when countries began to put in place travel bans. By early March, the financials were really bad," said Madam Goh.

By late March, the grim news hit home. Her company, which was part of a larger group, was shut down and she, along with about 20 colleagues, was retrenched. Gone is her monthly salary of $4,200.

The months ahead will be tough as she and her husband, a former general manager who is also unemployed as he has been unable to find a suitable job, figure out how to pay for the family's expenses and loan instalments amounting to more than $5,000 monthly. They have three children aged between one and 18.

In the past weeks, she has sent out at least 60 job applications, including those for temporary work related to Covid-19 operations like temperature screeners and safe distancing ambassadors. But she has not heard back from anyone yet.

The majority dead are the old n infirmed n trailer park trash who r better dead anyway. The families will thank the politicians for easing their burdens

thats not how humanity works pal...what you are advocating is the law of the jungle..let the fittest survive or natural selection ,some say...but nature itself counters such destruction of its species naturally ...for eg,a fish spawns thousands of eggs knowing only a selected few survive....but we human incubate for 9 months and care for at least another 21 years ,legally speaking.... not only as caring and loving lot but betting children as a future investment that would bear yields....which tantamounts to not being cost effective if we follow your advise

I am advocating common sense n dealing with the virus as it is just a flu. The lockdown is causing more problems than the virus itself

you are over simplifying matters in hand..in a war situation, it make sense to sacrifice a tiny lot for the benefit of the majority ..but in a democracy the same decision will upset the the government in power ..
hence the political price to be paid is rather heavy...because people vote on emotion basis..just like you may give all you have just to save your granny from dying just for the sake of love

Do people know how much rental return for hdbs? More than 20% from what my friend told me for her three room flat. My expensive private property never even get half of that during good years so again hdb leeches are the ones that benefited ok.

And hdb rental returns should still be very high double digits since costs are so low. No wonder no complaints

Why should I? You are black hearted to wish bad things on sinkies that did not harm you. Not like me I only wish bad things on people and families that did harm to me.

Hoping for more sinkie bus to be FLs is wishing a bad thing? If they choose to be FLs, it's their choice right? Nobody forced them. It's not as if they were forced to be sex slaves.
