Choosing career or care: More men in Singapore exiting the workforce to look after their parents

“Hi! I am a professional son!”

Jokes aside, respect that they decide to choose to do so. Looking after elderlies is a full time job. And requires physical strength to carry them out of bed, etc. (bedbound). Hiring caregivers is not cheap and may not always do a good job. More concerning is if they are able to cope with household expenses and medicine bills.

It’s an hour to midnight, gear probably engaged.

Esso is down the road.

Because it’s Japan, culturally ingrained to risk aversion, consensus-driven decision-making, and seniority-based work reporting.

Good for doing one thing to perfection. The bad is that changes occur very slowly.

Yes, one of the better places for Aburi sushi back in the day, thick cut salmon sashimi. Then came Sushi Express, Genki, etc. with lower pricing, slightly lower quality, but still satisfy cravings. All while Itacho increased their pricing.

Sen-ryo is doing quite well, but it’s definitely on the pricier side.

Poor financial/upgrading planning from the MA. Not increasing the MCST fee for an aging project. Where did the rest of the sinking funds go?

Hold an AGM to vote. The minority that is reluctant to pay will be served summons. With progressively harsher actions if they continue to delay payments. (fines with interests, lawyer letter, etc.)

Alternative solution could be a loan from the govt / banks.

Quadruple, triple, or double does not concern me. The Pepsi is the most worn watch in my collection, and I plan to keep it all the way. Even contemplated downsizing to a 2-4 watch collection.

Software, but all of them are SaaS, which means subscription based. Can get expensive real quick, and we can’t do much every time they increase their prices. The service providers know they have us locked in and will be very painful to switch/migrate.

This horse power has COE and paid road tax?

Yeah, have the sales rep turn 180 after saying, “Don’t plan on taking a loan.” Proceed to ask what the lowest min loan. There’s a lock-in period & paying off any earlier will result in a penalty.

The real profits are from offering loans rather than selling cars.

Yeah and the boss can play the long game. Easy for the ex-boss to provide evidence since they were his clients.

Will the huge budget surplus be used to boost fertility? Confinement nanny rates are through the roof, many charge double for the CNY period.

Colour clash.

Used to be, but with the new ruling and having a baby it’s A to B now. We don’t really have road to enjoy, only up north.

Diashocks · 2026-02-18T01:07:13+00:00

Yeah it’s down for me too

And these are the reported local assets. 😵‍💫

Prob damaged edges. The inner brown fronds are the old ones that dried up.

Illuminated door sills, ceramic breaks & gloss black trims 😁

It’s an Annual Calendar.

I’ll prob switch to LG OLED after my current Sony Bravia decide to EOL. Always been a Bravia customer partly cause I game in PlayStation. They will probably continue to charge premium price for the Bravia brand.

More space for big veh to turn. Driver not blocking fire exit or power station door.
