Hi Simikai & Tan-My mum is very proud of how he obtaind his wealth and blamed those drug addicts and his business is just business like other businesses.He gives the old couple alot of monies and parked millions in their names also.This is real life. (another good example is he told them to bring me to his mansion which costs Rm40million and let him hit me till I agreed to sign an affidavit that those information which the Malaysia’s IRB has on his tax evasion were not true-why must I)

Hi Simikai & Tan-Yes. my story is very true and you can read more at http://www.discuss-singapore@yahoogroups.com which I have been writing since 2001.Not easy being a Singaporean which carries a perception that Singaporeans are afraid of our government which is not true, to me I am proud being a Singaporean,Singapore born and I am not afraid of government, I am God Fearing unlike my families in Malaysia as my mum put to me with his tens of millions he can buy anything even in Singapore.I did not hide a single cent and I am still struggling and I have no regrets.When I had those monies, I lived a simply life-a HDB 5rooom flat in Yishun, takes taxi and lrt when I am in Singapore (I don’t even have anything in Malaysia till today)

Andrew, your story and grouse with your parent and brother complicated and I find it hard to digest. You really lose $30 million Sing dollar in 1997? You must be super super rich fellow one upon a time.

Simikai-I don’t thin it is challenging for us to write in for job application,today’s employers are looking at bottomline ie how much you can contribute or make for the company (businesses in terms of money, you can bring).We as Singaporeans must not be afraid of any kind of hardship as our forefathers too had face much harder hardships and I have faced far more hardship than any Singaporeans and I continue my struggle ie lost S$30million plus during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and two years ago betrayed by my own parents who opted for my only brother in Penang who is the richest and powerful man (the Penang Police is under his payroll) and I told both my age parents in Singapore, we hang this type of person and my mum replied with his tens of millions, he can buy people in Singapore (he has millions of S$ investments in Singapore). Don’t give up hope and let us move forward and continue with our struggle and don’t be like Dr Chee and his gang who only knows how to take monies from foreign NGOs and running to foreign Government and most recent one is to the new USA President. We Singaporeans especially those local borns like us, fight our own battles and we don’t need handouts or looking for a change in government and Singapore becomes a Welfare State.

Tan, good to hear from you.My story is far worse as you read from my three postings and I continue my struggle so long as I am still alive and we earn honest money (I am unlike my only brother a Malaysian the richest and powerful man and my Malaysian parents who are in their early 70s no principle,no dignity and worse they told me that with his tens of millions, he can buy anything even in Singapore (he is highly educated with a first class honours from a top UK unversity and a Master from NUS) and I told them, in Singapore we hang these type of people.My mother insulted me being a Singaporean ie everything no balls and fear Government and I told her no, I don’t fear the Government and I am God Fearing.I just back on talking terms with my parents after a year of cut off-they betrayed me-sold me out to him for his money.This is life and as Singaporean especially we Singapore born, we must always Fear God.

With limited fund and hard to get loan from banks for small business like mine, it never really take off. It will be worse this coming years as many of my clients are cutting cost.

Hi Simikai, we are at the fifty and do share simility in fortune. Maybe I am better now as I have not yet in debt from failed business. Hope that it will not happen any sooner.

I think you do facing much tougher situation to raise your family with a dyslexia child. Hope you can manage it well.
I am not much better than you as I married late with 2 kids – 7 months and 2.5 years old. I am wondering can I raise them up well? That my greatest fear.
That why I must stay fit and healthy and able to work until they are big enought to take care of themselve and their mother.

Thank Andrew for the blessing and We Singaporean never say die and will stand proud (little dignity) with our 2 feets firmly on the ground with some help from the government reserve budget. It do help quite abit.

Perhaps, you can take a look at the Internet business and there are many opportunities to sell things on the net. Good Luck.

Further to my posting, what I meant I have gone through worse than you ie besides having lost all in 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, my only brother in Penang, the richest and powerful man (even the Penang Police is under his payroll and with millions in S$ investments in Singapore, did not help me and bribed the Penang Police to take me under ISA-Sedition after he failed to get me to make a false declaration to Inland Revenue of Malaysia who went after him for millions of tax evasions that those informations were false. I refused and I told the Penang Police to go ahead but they did not and even my own Parents who are very educated mind you-my dad a retired Associate Professor in Penang Unviersiti and now a Pastor and my mum a retired businesswoman took his side but I stood firm. He used his millions to settle his brothr in law gambling debts and helped him opening up many businesses for him and he still failed.

I am proud of being a Singaporean, Singapore born as we are honest and hardworking besides having principle and dignity and let us continue doing so and stand on our own two feet and continue to struggle and bring food on the table for our families.

We as Singaporeans must be proud and stand up again on our own two feet like our forefathers in the past. I have gone through worse than you having lost all in 1997 Asia Financial Crisis and still struggling and I continue to pray and ask God for wisdom and with wisdom, I am able to see things clearly ie opportunities.Let us be proud being a Singaporean and fight back and put behind any hope of handouts from the Government as I don’t believe in handouts and our Modern Singapore is an Open Economy and must never be a Welfare State. You are 52 and I am 48, only 4years apart. God Bless. Take care.
