PROPOSAL TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE
In his post, Sng offered to perform community service in lieu of monetary compensation, citing financial difficulties.
He said he closed his business on Apr 1 due to inflation, rising rental costs and rising energy prices.
“Like many SME (small-medium enterprise) owners, I exhausted personal savings and loans just trying to stay afloat,” he wrote. “Since then, I’ve had no income, been managing debt, and doing what I can to remain useful to society.”
He proposed to “serve 100 hours of community service for each public servant named in the letters – a total of 300 hours”.
He listed what he said were examples of him participating in “volunteer and charity” work since 2019.
“My time, sweat, and labour are what I can offer. Let me serve the people you intended to benefit through your charitable donation using hands-on effort instead of dollars,” wrote Mr Sng.
