How My Business Cope with Covid-19

Many self-employed people and entrepreneurs, myself included, are badly hit by the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis. Instead of sitting down complaining and waiting for money to drop from the sky, I took progressive proactive steps and managed to still have some income and business in this difficult period.  What about you?  Let's share our experiences so that we can leverage on each other.

 The 5 Things That I Do In My Business include:
  1. Promote eBooks, hard copy books and e-learning instead of asking people to come to my place to take up our training on WeChat, Sun Tzu Art of War, Mobile Number Profiling and Cash Flow Success
  2. Promote SkillsFuture courses, as these courses cost little and the government provides an income of $7.50 an hour for self-employed people that attend these classes.  The SkillsFuture classes that we promote include SkillsFuture for Digital Workplace, PDPA Compliance, and Leadership and People Management course. 
  3. Go into consultancy services that reduce uncertainties. Last year I partnered with a China-born Singaporean Fengshui Master that provides mobile number profiling and mobile number energy services.  In this uncertain time, the demand for such services actually increased.  This service can be done online easily.  
  4. Switch and Save Electric Bills Business.  I embarked on this in 2018 and now find increasing more people are looking for this to save 27% off their monthly electric bills and get cash rebates and benefits of at least $80.  This business earns me a small but steady income and I enjoy helping the lower-income people save money effortlessly. 
  5. Continue to convert some of my offline training programs into video courses and books, because the government said this Covid-19 could last for another year.  The upcoming video course is Sun Tzu Art of War for Sales, while my 2nd book "Practical WeChat Strategies" is now in progress.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
