Tag Archives: Single Mother

I would like to share this incident that has happened to me recently. I am a single mom from Malaysia who has a tough time making ends meet working in a restaurant and a house cleaning job in Singapore to support my 2 young kids after my husband left me.

A jobless single mother with an autistic son is financially strapped again as she does not have enough money to go for job interviews. She said her PayU is almost zero and cannot last her for long.

A netizen has exposed a devious foreign scammer, who tried to trick her and other kind souls in Singapore into donating money for "single mothers". According to the netizen, she became suspicious after the person kept refusing to provide his or her name.

However, about two months later, in a parliamentary reply (4 April) – “From 2014 to 2016, about 100 single unwed parents under the age of 35 appealed to buy a flat with their children and without other family members. Over the same period, about 300 single unwed parents under the age of 35 appealed to rent a flat from HDB with their children. For both types of appeals, HDB approved about one-fifth of the cases.

I am a single mum of a dropout kid who has to work alongside me as HDB refuses to grant our 3 room flat at Greenview if we're unable to meet their changing demands. I'm already working 2 jobs with high blood pressure and only having 3 hours of sleep daily just to ensure I have a roof over my head.

Madam Shireen is a 34 years old mother of 4 kids, 2 boys are her own, while the other 2 girls are left to her care due to their own broken family left behind by their own parents. She also has a mother whom she’s the only caregiver full time, and thus she’s unable to find work that’s too far away.

A young single mother with a primary school age daughter has shared how the Housing & Development Board increased her rent from $61 to $230 upon learning that her new jobs gives her a pay raise of $300.

These so called 'licensed moneylender' are getting around looking for customers to scam and cheat. The fact that they were NOT even lisenced moneylender but they are 'illegal moneylender' (ahlong). They uses a copy-paste method of legal moneylender lisence registration number issued by MAS and also copy-paste legal moneylending compamy website URL all around Singapore pretending that they were lisenced moneylenders.

I am 34yrs old married and a mother of two kids a girl age 13 (born out of wedlock when I was not married yet) and a son age 4 whose father is my husband. I have never bought a house before and had never taken any concessionary HLE with HDB. However, I still can't buy a simple 3-rm flat for my kids to call HOME, talk about being a Singaporean in now a modern country!
