The Ice-cream Uncle | Singapore's Elderly Poor
Рет қаралды 3,306,515
7 жыл бұрынFor more than 10 years, 85-year-old Ng Teak Boon has made a living selling ice-cream -- but his life hasn’t been quite as sweet. Recently, his housemate has disappeared, and he’s run into problems paying his bills.

His passion is to serve others. He doesn't want to be a burden to society therefore he doesn't want to stay at home and laze around as it would cause him to 'fall sick'. I'm pretty sure no one likes to be lonely, hence we see many elderly folks still working in their 70s to 80s. They were the ones who helped build Singapore together, turning her from a mudflat to a metropolis. They don't deserve to be forgotten at all. Look at them, enjoying the final years of their lives by serving people. I wonder if our generation would be like them in future.

This is a touching story, i used to remember back in my highschool school me and my late sister rides a kalesa, it is a horse with a cart at his back and there's this old man in his 80s who moves it with the help of the horse. My sister and I would always stay in the parking and wait till this old man arrives to take us home, we pay him the usual amount then we increase it until nothing is left on our pocket because we saved something and gave it to him on a week before Christmas. He was so thankful and we said please take care grandpa. And the next year we didn't see him again. We don't know if he got sick or just stop riding horse anymore. It is an overwhelming feeling to help a stranger who is doing his best just to live each day at an old age.

I think the children are pretty much around 55-65 already. We also don't know their economic condition, but still, it is disheartening to see that situation. With Singapore's work ethic, to live paycheck to paycheck, I don't think the children have time even to think about their dad.

I just saw Uncle just now! He’s still outside Sim Lim Tower at Jalan Besar selling ice cream on a hot 35 degree celcius day. He only sold cornetto, solero, and a few other types of stick ice cream (not the traditional ice cream truck kind). Slightly expensive, I bought a cornetto for $2 but please do support him! Uncle looked tired in this hot weather. It’s so difficult to make a living nowadays ;( Send love to our hardworking elders around Singapore!

I knew about this uncle cause I live in Singapore. So one day I was coming back from my school with my friends and then I saw this uncle selling ice cream. I bout about 6 to 10 ice creams for my family and friends. I paid a little over the budget. I did it on purpose cause I felt bad. He told me to take it back, but I didn't and told him to keep it. He was very happy, so was I and then I went back home with the yummy ice cream! Be you Be bright Be magical -Claire *_EDIT_* PLS READ Hi guys, its been almost 2 yrs since this happened and i actually hesitated on writing this edit but im going for it anyways. First of all; For those who feel this story is kinda unreal, im sorry. Maybe coincidences happen amirite? Wat can we do, i was just tryna spread love and faith almost 2 yrs ago. Im sorry if you find this unreal.... Second of all; For those who feel this is real, i hope you feel inspired enough to do something faithful and hopeful.

Yes, elderly people who still working, make their self-esteem and pride. At least they still have purpose of living, this is why he want to sell till die. Working like this make him stay healthy and cheerful, so he can talk to others and his customer. If he stay home alone, life is boring and no one to talk and will cause him mental and physical sickness. You can see most of elderly people in Japan, they have still been working with joy and happiness and this give them longivity.

Lived in Singapore for 6 years and this is truly heartbreaking to see. Singapore’s Elders are left to fed for themselves. Seeing them work difficult jobs like this or working in hawker centers carrying heavy loads of dishes to clean, tables to wipe etc. It’s a tragedy cuz the younger generation doesn’t really care for them. The elders should be taken care of better by Singapore as a whole.

While most of us aspire to retire so early in life and just do nothing, this man wants to live to 106 and still work. Total inspiration.

The idea of early retirement is from the young generation which contrast those elderly people.

Still working at 87 years old! And he lived for TWO MONTHS without electricity!!! I’m never complaining about my problems again. This grandfather doesn’t even have a mattress or pillow to sleep on. I’m glad to know he is doing well now though.
