As an american u shouldnt say this to your fellow sporeans.....he may be weak and needs help which only the strong and brilliant can provide.
sporean isnt nazism where the weak is based on surviviale of the fittest.there is still an asian influence based on good,bad and kindness in this otherwise imperfect and flawed world which is far from fair.
i hope this helps.
Excuse me , if his MOTHER is able to find work and earn enough to feed herself and TS for 9 years... this man has no excuse to be rotting at home doing nothing but leeching off his old mother.
He has to take responsibility for his own livelihood.. get a higher cert or get some entry level working experience or BOTH.
Stop blaming the society for his own failures.
His mom needs to save up for her own old age needs. Who is going to take care of her and pay her health expenses when she can no longer work and old age illness sets in ?
Stop taking mommy's money.. and get his lard ass off the couch !

What is HotelPartTimeJob.com.sg?
HotelPartTimeJob.com.sg is a portal set-up by the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA) with the support of the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) for casual labour in the hotel industry. The portal, which is
administered by SHA, focuses on matching casual workers* to ad hoc and
short term assignments available in hotels. One of the objectives of the
portal is to provide opportunities to those who have the passion but
are not able to take up full-time and permanent part-time positions due
to current commitments. The portal also gives one the opportunity to
earn some money, while the hotel industry benefits by having a ready
pool of casual workers.
* Casual workers are defined as those hired to work on an as-and-when-required basis and are paid by the hour.
What is the difference between HotelPartTimeJob.com.sg and any other manpower agency portal?
1. This portal is Singapore’s first casual jobs website managed by an industry association – the Singapore
Hotel Association (SHA).
2. Only casual jobs from local hotels are offered through this portal.
3. HotelPartTimeJob.com.sg allows you to indicate the days and periods in which you are available for
work. This allows you to plan the work around your lifestyle and current commitments.
4. The portal only focuses on short-term and ad hoc job assignments, otherwise known as casual work.

No point to post in here, let people bombard on you an yet NO ACTION taken from yourself. Time fly and what ever pass cannot come back.
I believe you should find someone who able to motivate you and push you out of comfort zone. Otherwise you might have to change yourself and find positive people to advise you, it might help.

Feng Zengkun – Straits Times
Singapore. A new generation of Singapore hawkers will get training under a formal program that the government is keen to co-fund.
The Workforce Development Agency (WDA) has called for bids to set up a new hawker training center here, The Straits Times understands. If the proposals are feasible, it will shortlist candidates by July.
In a tender exercise that opened in March and closed earlier this month, WDA highlighted the need to “build a pipeline of skilled hawkers in anticipation of the 10 new hawker centers to be built within the next decade.”
Under the proposed scheme, WDA could subsidize the cost of setting up the school and course fees, and also help market the program to Singaporeans.
In return, the operator of the school is expected to set aside places for new and local entrants to the trade and help its graduates find and keep jobs within the food industry.
The WDA would not say how many bids were submitted but at least one social enterprise, Dignity Kitchen, has confirmed it has applied to be given the chance.
“Nobody is capturing the knowledge of hawkers now, and we should, because the hawker food here is something that is uniquely Singapore,” said Koh Seng Choon, executive director of Project Dignity, which helps disadvantaged people, as well as those with disabilities.
The scheme to provide a complete course — and certification — for hawkers is a first and will be a boost to a sector facing the twin onslaught of air-conditioned food courts dishing out food cooked in centralized kitchens and ageing hawkers who are closing shop.
The agency’s move is part of a larger effort to beef up the tourism and food and beverage workforce here, in anticipation of the opening of upcoming attractions like Gardens by the Bay and the International Cruise Terminal.
An expert panel set up by the government last year to look into the new food centers had also called for a culinary institute to help experienced hawkers here pass on their skills.
Food experts are not short on ideas for the best recipe for success.
Food consultant K. F. Seetoh said it should equip aspiring hawkers here with kitchen skills such as chopping techniques and the basics of say, getting the amount of sambal and vinegar right in bak chor mee.
But the school should also aim to create the cream of the next street food hawkers, he added — ‘the superstars’.
Project Dignity’s Mr Koh said his proposal also includes a demonstration kitchen to simulate a hawker stall. This would help students understand what is required for a grade A under the National Environment Agency’s guidelines for hawker stalls.
It would also set aside places for people with disabilities and other disadvantaged people, in keeping with the group’s vision.
Not everyone is convinced a school will work.
“Good street food is very subjective. How do you determine whose recipe the school should teach?” said Mr Perry Ong, chief executive of NTUC Foodfare, a social enterprise here which operates a chain of foodcourts.
Food industry experts added that the school may have an uphill task getting brand-name hawkers to divulge their secrets.
Seetoh said: “Some hawkers protect their recipes to their deaths, while some may not know how to teach. Other hawkers don’t even know what it is about their recipes that gives them the edge.”
Mr Ong added: “The younger generation may also not be willing to
become hawkers because it is a hard life, and not all hawkers are
successful.”

Please la stop scolding him. As if scolding him will help him..only making him feel more worthless....He is here to seek help.....
He isn't the only one in this position..don't be surprised but ALOT of other people are too, some worst off..there are still people who are 30 and getting degrees so they can start work....
As people have already mentioned, your best bet would be to start from scratch and be humble. Try private sector companies....
Leave your pride at the doorstep...
If future employees ask you what have you been doing for 9 years, just tell them the truth BUT end off with a resolution..that you are ready to start a new..
Don't be discourage if u send in multiple resumes and get rejected. It is obvious you're in a disadvantage but its a numbers game really....Nobody here can predict what type of employees employers are looking for...some employers could be looking for less qualified employees but with lower wages to make their balance book look good at the end of the year.......
Jump at any opportunity you can get ok?
Meanwhile what are u doing currently? Nothing? My advice is just get any random job at the mean time to help shape your attitude and getting used to work life..could be anything from sales person to 7 eleven to petrol kisok or even learning a skill as a hawker apprentice ...insurance agent.........or just so some social work la to earn good 'karma"

Dear joblesskia,
As you can observe,MOST singaporeans in spore obviously do not intend to help BUT MAKE THINGS WORSE.
WHEN THEY SEE U SOMEWHERE,,,they start calling u foul names and start tearing u apart and eating u like some demented zombie who craves human flesh.
From the above ,u will notice they do not intend to spare u even for the slightest mistake. Try to get a job with good kind people around if u were scared off from the sight of them for almost a decade.
GOOD LUCK.
