I am going to write a sad story which happened to my friend , JiaqXXg , recently.
His family treated him as an outcast. do you know why? not because of his handicap.
His family is moving to new condo unit which younger son had bought a unit so that his own family and his parents can live closer and see each other often.
but his father decided that Jiaqxxg moved to stay with uncle and aunt in 3 room HDB flat. because his father was angry with him for not wanting to study after his O Levels. Why Jiaxx refused to study after his O Levels? he had bad experience in former secondary school, Queensway Sec School.
Jiaqxxg is deaf and suffering from cerebral palsy. He cannot hear and cannot write nicely, his handwriting is slow. In his opinons, he should not study in Poly or A Level institute. Jiaqxxg studied in 1987 to 1990 . In 1991, he tore up JAE form after getting O level results. this made his father very angry and disowned him. His mother let him stay in same house as him. His father refused to have anything to do with him.
His father dotes on his younger brother more. He is normal. former ACJC student, NUS graduate, now director in MNC.
His father felt that since Jiaqxxg don’t want to study. no point staying in condo, and live as a parasite.
Jiaqxxg left Civil Service because he cannot type fast. and IT illiterate.
Operation Support Officer (Div 4) must be able to do many things. but he cannot do much. therefore his dept release him. Why he don’t want to study in 1991 in Poly or A level?
because he don’t want to inconvenience others.
He is weak in science/Maths and chinese. Therefore , he don’t want to make teacher feel annoyed.
why can’t his father understand his problems?
