WOTC - Education system

 Wisdom of the Crowd: 84% of the respondents said that our education system was not able to produce school leavers who are able to get good jobs even in Singapore.

Thank You for speaking up not only for the elderly but also for their children who have to be troubled with all the red tapes. I am one of those children.
This only proved that we now have a government that is unfamiliar with the ground and only there to make unfriendly and troublesome rules. Voting them out needs serious considerations. Whilst my parents are lucky to have me, what about those who are childless???




Forum: Dad had a hard time submitting particulars to the police

Recently my dad, who is 74 years old, received a notice for a traffic offence and was told to submit his particulars through the Traffic Police website. Not knowing how to use the Internet, he asked me to assist him.

The first thing I noticed is that there is no way to provide the information other than via Singpass login. However, as he did not know those details, I had to request a mailed copy of his Singpass password.

After receiving the password, I tried to log in again but was notified on the website that a one-time password had to be sent to a mobile number. As my own mobile number was used for my Singpass login, I could not use it for him.


My dad does not own a mobile phone and now I have to get a phone for him just for this purpose.

It has been a frustrating process just trying to submit simple information to the police.

The system does not seem to consider the needs of the older generation of users who may not be literate or tech-savvy. There should still be an option for providing this information via a more traditional method, like filling up and mailing back a form.


The older generation should not be made to feel lost and out of touch over such matters.

Hard -Copy menu is dying. Latest trend is scanning QR code on smartphone for the order. My mother does not own a handphone. My father does not have an app. The only thing the hospitals still remain the same is their payment mode can be by cheque, netts other options except cash. There are options catering to all types.

A few times I eat at Killiney Road along the row of shophouses. Last time uh, inspector come just check at coupons display on dashboard. Now I see them keying in every car number to check if their car parking is being paid. I cannot sure if it is easier of faster. These people will sit near their car and eating at same time. When they see the inspectors, they get on to their mobile telling said they in the process of paying.
