Please share this post. I'm posting this because I'm at my wit's end.
My daughter was involved in a hit & run on the 3rd Jan 2024 by SNM1858B.
I'm posting now because despite having video footage, witness statement, the traffic police is not doing anything.
We have written to high ups in traffic police and some feedback manager is replying that our concern will be forwarded to the relevent investigator.
The fact that it has been a few months and the driver has not make any police report because he denied having hit my daughter
( This is conveyed to me is a casual manner the IO only on 23/1/24 )
IO also memtioned that he has been advised to make a report as its mandatory and indictate in the statement he did not hit anyone.
Our lawyer is unable to get any details/paid reports. from trafficc police and also due to IO not making him to make a report of incident despite having all the evidence.
This is to bring awareness to victims who have been hit but not deceased and paralysed.
My question is : Does a person has to be deceased/ paralysed before the police is going to bring justice?
Is this what the traffic law in Singapore is? Yet, being the victim, besides going thru psychiatrist sessions, nightmares, etc we have to go through a lot in order to still provide documentations to the lawyer for the relevant organisations( who will in turn take their time) to process.
The sacrifices (parents' time from work) and also the fear and images of the accident that will always be haunting her throughout their life.
To the driver of SNM1858B, please come out of your cowardice and man up to what you have done .
Watch the video since you are in denial of what you have done.

Forum: People above 60 have hard time competing with younger people for gig jobs​

APR 30, 2024

At 68, my sister finds difficulty in securing daily-rated jobs, such as a food server or dishwasher in hotels and restaurants, particularly through various gig job applications.
These jobs pay higher hourly rates than those at coffee shops and hawker centres.
Some job apps declare age limits. But even for those without, where she had been able to get jobs in these establishments before, she now finds her success rate has declined over time.
I suspect this may reflect a trend of age-based discrimination in hiring practices.
I understand there are also other people looking for gig jobs, such as students and foreign workers.
However, older workers aged 60 and above often don’t have a fair chance to compete in this pool of ready and willing gig workers solely because of their age.
As senior workers like my sister navigate diminishing job opportunities as they age, I wonder if human resource departments can be encouraged to adopt positive discrimination policies that reserve roles for seniors, fostering inclusivity and combating ageism in the workplace.

Let us reflect on the significance of May Day in honouring workers and advocating fair and equitable opportunities for all, including the seniors in our community.
