I am a Singaporean. You have my respect, bro. It is really not easy doing what you do. Really hope you and your family have a bright future. Bless your boss too, for being such a great and understanding person! Good luck and take care to both of you!

Blessed to those compassionate employers who provided ease to the foreign workers. If you take care of your employees, they will be loyal and devoted to you. Happy employees equals to success.

Sleep is important Bro. My wife recently got stroke due to lack of sleep. There is only so much our body can take. Don't live to regret it. Health is wealth.

Keep it up my friend , if I can call you that. You are a good man, May God bless you and family abundantly with good health.

Thank u for sacrifice and service, james

Wow...this is really tough. My grandparents stay in Johor so I go and visit a few times a year. Just that few times of travelling and queuing, I’m already going crazy! It is extremely tiring to go to and fro with the jam and customs queue.

His English is above most expectations

keep up the good work and wishing you and your family the best...understand!.

May God bless all whom travels for work providing their loved ones 🖤

Great documentry......go all the way James.....

It's very kind of james to think selflessly. He is willing to go through all these risks so that his family wouldnt feel left out when he isnt around one day. If all people could love their family this much and the family stays supportive as well, it would be nice.

Amazing video!

The body can't go forever without sleep.

Respect bro🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 And respect to all Malaysians who sacrifice 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great respect 👍 sacrifice for your family and future 🙏

great boss....great guy....

Wow hope you will always stay healthy

Its v though. May God Bless You n your boss

Great story. Love the compassionate heart of the boss that created lodging, why not share with other bosses? It helps improve productivity with a small investment where the staff quarters can be reused by other staff - this helps improve the bottom line too. For other businesses that don't have the budget or luxury for staff quarters, why not go back to the old days, pull out a foldable lightweight lounge chair, or mop the floor and sleep on an air mattress or futon in the restaurant after you pulled down the shutter? Think of this as a free security guard for your business for a win-win across stakeholders. Why not encourage staff to quit smoking and use other healthy and free tools such as looking at the photo of loved ones, praying to your God, drinking water, and meditation via a phone app? Work so hard to buy a house then get health problems and cancer from smoking/alcohol, then sell the house leaving your family homeless and taking on debts, prostitution, crime and other unfortunate means to pay for your medical bills. It's neither financially savvy nor strategic. This seems harsh but realistically, life is harsh. Please see this as goodwill feedback and God Bless.

no choice bro, you decided working in SG. Everyone is doing their best to have a better lifestyle. All the best to you.

To my Malaysian friends working in Spore seriously stay Spore better, getting sick is no joke..some work dont pay u if u MC.. the food is cheaper than KL if u know how..ask those in Spore ..those at less 10 yrs... Find 3 friends to share rent. next to your work place..you spend $0 on transport! You do the math..u maybe spend only around 200+ more compare those stay JB..but u be more healthy and more time to do your own things

Everyone had to go to work. To avoid working forever, you must learn how to make your money works for you...There are always a good chance to invest cheaply in solid fundamental investments during bad time. Start learning and you will find the good one. Good time will come back again. I am sure you had seen good stocks, properties, gold had fallen from their peak. Don't be silly to ignore them. Grap some and you see the rebound comes back again...

Good employer bless with good n dedicate employee. Win win situations

You do the right things if you have family you must divert what income You have for your family those fun thing as a bachelor is over , you are 👍Father and a 👍 family man

This remind me when I was 18 working in Singapore. I use to walk across the causeway because is too jam. Especially this man working as a chef there's o life. I'm use to be a chef too, so I know how's it going exactly. You only get one day off a week. Working 6 days and long hours everyday.

And i think this is why HSR cannot be called off. Hope the project can reconciliate.

Omg that's what I always refer to Malaysians working in Singapore,they work here 1.5k sgd convert back to rggt is abt the average good paying salary

Good boss.. which ramen shop?

YES , SAVE MONEY FOR YOUR FAMILY, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. HAVE MONEY TALK BULLSHITS WALK. YES FINALLY YOUR BOSS DID THE HUMANLY POSSIBLE THING. 👍👍👍🇸🇬

Tough James, especially at your age. Start a KZfaq channel . Am sure many would be interested in your experiences.

takagi ramen🥺🥺🥺

While in Penang... people cause jammed drive like father’s road

30th March 2020

No offence but sleeping only 4 hours a day is a quick way to meet your maker SOON. My ex boss COLLASPED and DIED at the front of his store years back after a HEART ATTACK. I heard He only slept 3 hours daily. 🤦🏼

Life's gift...🤣😂

Why don't they make the border-crossing process so much more efficient? With modern technology this should be a no-brainer....

Right now with covid restrictions he can’t be travelling back to JB so what’s his situation?

Did his supervisor provide him with the lodging or did he talk to his supervisor about it? Early on he should have talked to his supervisor to find him a place to spend the night at his workplace so that he does not have to travel back and forth. Only go back on his off days. What happens if he met an accident with all that traveling.

Please tell me James is from Sabah or Sarawak based on his tattoo

😢

I cant understand, why not rent a bed in Singapore like every other workers here?

pog

I rather make business in Sarawak..hehe

Why doesn't this man just lay down in the back room of this restaurant and shower at his boss's place?

So what’s the wife doing?
