Re: Do you want to work in faraway place for low pay? Thank for your site, but it lead to Bizlink Centre, my relative had unpleasant experience there.
Zenite, government will refer his case to Bizlink Centre and Bizlink will ask him to work in sheltered workshop for low pay , he will be persuaded to do OT often.
Phoenixity, working there and look for more jobs? Given low pay and long working hours and distance travelled.. Where got time to look for jobs? Pay is low (he cannot travel anywhere in Singapore to attend job interview , he will be tired when he reach home so late at night. If he take leave frequently to go for interview , when will supervisor think of him? If you stay in Choa Chu Kang St , you have to go to work in Paris Ris for mthly pay of $500, wake up at 5.30 am , go to busstop at 6 am and take feeder bus (often crowded at this time) to Choa Chu Kang MRT and MRT is also crowded), because of his condition, he cannot stand for long (there are no seats for him) and when MRT jerked , his movement very awkward.. When he finish work in 10 plus, he take MRT back to Choa Chu Kang and take feeder bus... (if he finish work at 11 plus, feeder bus wont be available.. ) So, is it worth it?
His mother prepared package meal for him every morning so that he will save more. By then he will become more dependant on his mother. I don't think it is right.
As for social worker, she should not be so concerned about meeting quota by putting people into the job they don't like.. and not calling them proud and fussy when they refused low-paying cleaning or dishwashing job at faraway place. Imagine if she had the son like him, can she offer him a cleaning or dishwashing job at faraway place ,of course she won't because it will be embarrassing if their elder relatives found out.
