Working as a cleaner, why need to feel ashamed?
Seriously, is there a need to feel ashamed with the job we do? Did we cheat? Did we rob? Did we steal? I know of SO MANY people who cheat people… rob people of opportunities… steal the work of others and pretend as their own. These people were not ashamed yeah. They are even proudly showing off the gains from all these unscrupulous ways.
A doctor could have cheated his / her patient with a more expensive treatment… Or a mechanic tricking customers to change parts which is not needed. For these cases, better be ashamed yeah. So, working as a cleaner and earning something from our effort has got nothing to be ashamed of.
Article in asiaone.com Shahrul, a 25-year-old Malaysian and father of one, makes a nearly-daily commute to Singapore just to do his job as a cleaner. He documented this journey while working in Bukom Island in a viral TikTok post that has since garnered 1.2 million views and over 42,000 likes.
He has been working in Singapore for nearly three years, reported the New Straits Times (NST).
His day begins at 5am and he starts making his way from Gelang Patah, Johor over into Singapore, staying patient amid the lengthy rush hour queues.
He wrote, “At first I was embarrassed because we know that line of work is always looked down upon, especially since I’m still young.”
However, it’s the best he could do at the time, and the pay of $2,400 was reasonable. He reportedly took up the job to save money for his wedding. Please do read here for the full article: Article in asiaone.com
Save and Invest for the future because salary as a cleaner will not double
Hopefully Shahrul is someone who saves and knows how to invest. His salary as a cleaner will not be doubling in the future because when his salary becomes too high versus the market, there are many others who are willing to take his base pay and take over. The reason is simple, the salary is easily more than 3 times since it’s in S$.
If he saves and invests, then the speed with which he could build up his wealth is 3 times faster too. All the best to everyone who just need an opportunity to start building a better future financially. All the best Shahrul!
