Moms in need.

What project was launched to help single mums? Briefly explain what is this project about?

The project is called WeCare for U. And the U is formed the logo for NTUC, meaning that this project is created by National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). This project is to help every single mother, be it divorced or widowed to have a say and assists them in their work life and family life.

Imagine you come across a single mum who is unemployed, what are some advice you can give her? Who can she turn to?


She can turn to this project of course. She can also take up and learn new skills like computing for cooking etc, to keep herself more relevant to society and hence make it easier for her to find a job. They can also turn to relatives and friends for help and probably create job businesses together.

NTU DEATH FALL

What were some indications which showed that the victim was facing problems before he committed the rash act?

He was behaving very strangely. He would also use and play computer games non-stop for several hours even though there are exams or projects that he needs to study or work on.

Is it very stressful being a student in Singapore? Explain.

It is very stressful being a student in Singapore. We are living in a cosmopolitan city so, there will be ongoing competition not only within our own country but also with the world in order to stand out and be recognised. And in this world, a diploma or degree counts. People without degree(s) or diploma may find it hard to find a job or to get promoted in a company. It is a constant competition for good grades and high achievements.

What are some problems you face as a student which adds to your stress level?


Learning new topics will always be a constant struggle for me and everyone. The new information is alien and needs time to digest and memorise therefore it is hard when new topics are being taught in school. Scoring good results also adds to the stress level, as you constantly have to meet up with your parents, teachers and even your own expectations.
