Why I Chose To Be A Hawker After University 

Teh-O-Kosong Peng 😁

Kopi o kosong! But at Coffee Break, it’s gonna be teh peng!

Teh C kosong, Milo Kosong 😊

What's worse is there passion the certain people have for this industry while having to traverse the multi faceted corruptions involved, speaking from experience.

To be fair... she's a business owner, not someone just working in the service industry. Would anyone question a shop or restaurant owner for not aiming higher?

Can I understand why she made undergraduate if she needs to be hawker she would have saved money and invested the undergraduate course money and double it that is my opinion

Lies again? Handsome America White King

Didn’t she get the business from her daddy? How’s that successful?

Absolutely. And damn, being able to control both of her employees and her customer in a same time and under ton of pressure, THAT is a rare mad skills

Exactly, Shes the Master of her own destiny.

Owning a business will always be a power move

+Looks like she took over the family business? Not everybody gets a business handed to them when they graduate from college. Would have been very different story if she had to take out loans for everything to start her business and didn't have her dad advising her.

@@tan.tan1234 even as a freelancer sir?

They also have a second branch at Hong lim food centre!

But she needs a man to help her.

@@misterbig9025 maybe quit being a sexist first

@@misterbig9025 lmao what is this thinking, it's already 2022

What is Singapore without our beloved hawkers?!

True ! 😊👌

Literally

Definition of Profession : a paid occupation, especially one that involves prolonged training and a formal qualification. Thus, Hawker is NOT a profession.

@@fuldachan8877 i am looking at investment analyst. Needs a masters. Is that a profession?

Nothing about this is about Asian society except that the person being featured is Asian. Do you think every westerner out there is an entrepreneur? Pretty sure 99% of them still work for corporations. It's okay to cheer for this woman but you don't have to make everything about race.

They actually come up w their own coffee powder blend! So def high quality control!

We agree!

Try work in the housekeeping dept in a hotel. Cleaning 20+ rooms in 8 hours is like a workout in the gym. Try see wat goes on behind the scene operations of hotels, restaurants (especially fast food) & cafes. Its not as glam. A lot of hardwork goes to make the customer happy.

@@rosidahariff2365 when I said working in hotel, it was for the whole departments. Housekeeping included. I used to worked in hotel as executive chef for 400 rooms operation, with at least 1200 guests everyday in an all inclusive. Breakfast, lunch dinner, and events in between. My shift runs from 8am-1 or 2 am, and I still feel hawker is work harder than I am. Support each other, and don't brought others down and said woe is yours.

Thats what the young generation fail to see. If done and executed properly you can actually live a comfortable life at your own terms not your boss's. I feel singaporeans are robotic in the sense that after graduating they need to get a well paid job. While in other parts of the world, ppl tend to do what they love and pursue their dreams. I have a friend who flunked all his subjects and quit school at secondary 3. Now he is a boss of 3 tyre shops in malaysia and have 30 people working under him. Life has been very good and enjoyable for him. I myself started my own business very late in life and never look back since after i left corporate world. Sometimes is about bravery. Dare to fail in order to succeed

What do you mean by restrictive? Singapore is ranked 1st in the world for economic freedom and ahead of North American and most Western countries for ease in starting a business. Women in Singapore is ranked as enjoying access to economic opportunities ahead of most European countries and are better represented in the workplace, in entrepreneurship, and C-suite level than in the US or Canada. Even self-employed women are entitled to govt-sponsored maternity leave. Can you say the same for America? Your view of Singapore society is outdated and condescending. Quite typical of a western chauvinist.

​@@aero.l Nice of you to assume I am white. Maybe some of us are poisoned by the freedom we enjoy in the States. In that case, ask yourself: why do some of us go outside of Singapore to study university? Ain't there oppurtunities to go to university, just like there are claimed economic oppurtunities? Freedom is not about conforming to a so-call workplace, going to C-suite. It's about doing what they want. It can be C-suite, but also from opening this stall (which is not seen as high level), to even being in adult entertainment if they choose to. In addition, a woman - or a man, for that matter, to have that coroporate economic oppurtunity (btw, corporate is a dirty word), they need to do well right in the beginning of primary school. Huh - the price of Freedom, amirite? An oppurtunity that is restrict to one field, requiring following a so-called social norm, is not freedom at all. I am not even starting on other personal freedom and social freedom. Feel free to call it chaos and anarchy if you want, but we call it true freedom. Heck, even throwing gum on to the road is a freedom.
