A man shared about his friend who is a private degree holder with local diploma but cannot even find an admin job even after 10 interviews.

Here is the story:

My friend is 36 years old. He cannot get white collar job already.

He got a polytechnic diploma in marketing. Later on he went to take a private degree in business, i think it is not really recognised as it is completed in 1 year part time.

He started working at 23 years old after he ord.

He could only get admin job and his salary never exceeded 2.5k a month.

He got retrenched at 36 years old. Went for more than 10 admin job interviews in 1 month but did not have any job offer.

So he give up and went to work as cashier in supermarket, salary less than 2k a month.

Is this normal in singapore?

Anyone here experience this too or heard of such stories?

I thought 36 years old is still ok, maybe only after 40 years old than cannot find white collar job

RYDE shared a post on Facebook sharing their honest driver who returned a laptop bag with over SGD$6,000 inside.

Here is what Ryde said:

Last Tuesday, our Driver-Partner Desmond found and returned a laptop bag with more than $6k cash in it.

During our chat with him yesterday, Desmond shared that it was the subsequent riders who told him about the bag. He looked through the items to find identification and found what he presumed to be the owner’s payslip.

Desmond contacted our support team via RydeHELP as well as the company listed on the payslip in his efforts to return the bag to its owner as soon as possible. In just under six hours, Desmond returned the bag to its owner – who thanked him for his actions and confirmed that nothing was missing and everything was in order.

Desmond has been driving with Ryde since 2017. When asked about his immediate thoughts when he discovered the huge amount of money, he shared that he had once lost money too and could imagine how anxious the rider would be.

Thank you Desmond, for keeping the Ryde community trustworthy and respectable. As a small gesture of our appreciation, we gave him a Care Package along with a token sum of money. More importantly, we would like to highlight the integrity and initiative of our Driver-Partners – all of you make every ride a better one.

Recently, there was an article written about a 28 year old man getting arrested for allegedly raping a 52 year old woman in Toa Payoh.

We all know that rape and sex crimes is wrong irregardless of which gender is the victim but there seems to be some insensitive netizens amongst us who think otherwise.

In the comments section of the article, three Facebook accounts, presumably from the male gender judging from the alias that they use, decided to give some disgusting comments glorifying the deed of the alleged rapist.

The comments include things like the victim should be proud as she is already an “aunty” and still got people want, that she has no more value and a “hole is still a hole”
