It is the life style this uncle choose to live with, he has been working tirelessly his entire life, I pray he will stay healthy and energetic, be happy and satisfactory with what he loves doing.
Waking up at 3am is his body's clock Do not call this elderly uncle crazy!! Serving $3.00 traditional fishball noodles is hard to come by these days!! Show some respect and appreciation for his tireless efforts!
he has found what we call "ikigai". and that means everything to someone like him. let him live in it. because if you guys force him to stop, he will get depressed. trust me
To Uncle, this is his legacy, his dedication, his achievements and memories of families he fed with food he had prepared. These days, I see young people eating at some fancy Korean restaurant but the army stew looks like maggi noodles cooked with processed sausages, processed cheese with a broth tasting like instant noodle soup packet furthermore you have to cook it yourself. How many more old hawkers will retire early due to this pandemic and with them, our local food - hawker food will be lost and gone, leaving only foreign franchises remaining. Learn to appreciate our local food identity and support our local SMEs like uncle's stall during this difficult time!
the food is the lifeblood of the community catering to the poor, he knows that if he retires, people will go hungry. He chose to continue for the people but his sons don't see that value the stall has to those people. Money is good, I agree but I guess we have to give charity and think of other people too.
Very brave and if it keeps him happy, he shouldn't give up. Hope he gets some help. Retiring is not always for the best. Many kids believe that it is time for parents to rest but sometimes work keeps them sane.
He helped his dad at Selegie Road selling a bowl of fishball soup at 20cents, dry noodles at 30 cents in 1960s. Only fishball and fish cake in the noodles regardless soup or dry. Also have 2 helpers beside his father and him
Lost spirit in Singapore or Asia in General. Tough life, work hard and still happy-- this is the spirit that our ancestor and senior have... Nowadays, pp work hard a bit then tired and ache here and there, start complaining, take MC and quit easily
He's just like my grandfather. My grandpa is 81 years old this 2021 and refuse to retire. He's an ENT doctor and just finished renewing his medical licenses in the middle of this pandemic. AND! he still managed to fix stuff around the house including triming trees and making furnitures. He's just ... active 🤷🏻♀️
The only reason I think he should retire is because its not profitable anymore. I really admire his dedication to work even up to old age. No excuse is acceptable to the man. Thank you for showing this minidoc.
@@adiosbaby612 yeah, usually people that old and active, the moment they retire their health drop significantly, because they lose the reason for waking up everyday
When he used to work like that...once you forced him to retired usually his time will be over soon too. I knew this from experienced. I hope his son let the old man do whatever he likes in his late life although it was not profitable. At least you can see him for another 10years.
Government should stop subsidised NEA stalls from being sublet regardless of the excuses that the 'landlords' are using. They usually claim their sub-tenants are their workers. This raises rental of all stalls as less stalls are available for public bidding while 'landlords' earn free monthly income from subsidised rental stalls. CNA should do an exclusive to find out how many of these hawker stalls are sublet. Can check their licence name whether match the person manning the stall and you should know the story.
@@leehyunsong7001 Yet people are renting out their stalls at above market rate to earn at least $1-2k a month. See why hawker stalls at some popular places bid till $4-6k a month? Because too many people sublet causing too few stalls to be up for bidding.
Comments saying he should retire because it’s not profitable, it’s not working because of the pandemic, he’s injured, he’s ill… If he retires, he gives up his life. I’m sure he would rather die at the stove rather than retiring and dying at home. He has had the stall with his father, one connection to his past. He used the stall to provide a living with his family. It’s his legacy. It’s his life. I respect him. Even though I wish he would retire, I can understand why he wouldn’t. Would I retire? For sure, but I come from a different generation where I can use online platforms to make money, to provide, to give my life meaning. He can’t even use a smartphone. So unless he gets support from his kids to use the food delivery services, or ways to make his product sellable without going to the stall, it won’t work out for the next year. Mad respect for him.
When I see SOME of the youths (NOT ALL ) who don’t want work and quite happy to live on benefits most of their lives ,and then you see men like this gentleman 90 years old and still working ,he puts them to SHAME !!!
Uncle in my neighborhood die because his son forced him to retire, because he never rest just always work and work, his son doesn't want see her father keep working cause old age but not long after his son force him to retire he die so sad
I don't think he needs to retire, he can continue to sell $3 noodles. He just need to add maybe some additional noodles or other dishes at higher quality for higher prices. People who wants to support him can buy either one and he continues his business. I respect his work ethic and hopes everything works out.
Fishball noodle is my most favorite daily lunch when I was a PR and worked in Suntec City for many years ago. I still miss fishball mee, I cant get as good as in Singapore where I live now 😔
@@Strik3Fr33dom2 , I am very sure not all are. However, if you go around and check how many cleaners and security guards in Singapore are retirees, you may not be very agreeable or happy with the situation here in Singapore. Why create job classes for a start (deliberately or otherwise) : foreign workers' jobs. Singaporeans' jobs, old people's jobs, young people's jobs, female jobs, male jobs, jobs based on race, etc ..... And the PAP keep bragging that Singapore is an inclusive society! But it's okay ... We are a doomed nation and a doomed people already !!! Brought down by the moronic 61.2% !!!
I have eaten the noodles made by his father. At times he roam the street with the tock tock sound made by knocking a bamboo stick onto a piece of bamboo announcing that noodles is available. Then you ordered through him and later about 15 minutes the order has arrived. When you finished the noodles, you just leave the bowl on the sidewalk which will be collected by him. The noodles made by his father is much tastier than his.
3 to 4 sing is extremely cheap. In Malaysia this type of noodles is about Rm 5.50 to Rm 7. If I am living in Singapore I would pay him 5 sing for his efforts.
Some people prefer to be slaves to the capitalist and corporate world, like robots without a thinking mind. Doing a business, or continuing a family tradition is more honorable.
Please do not retire, 74 is the new young age, I see him bringing the fish ball mee to a new height in this era. He looks physically fit to carry on till 90, not an issue.
Old Chinese who own businesses don't retire. For them, their businesses, especially if they built it from scratch, are their children. You don't retire from parenthood.
If he is kind n generous - he should just open up n pick 5 disciples for free training. Like what the old kungfu masters started their schools. Each disciple just contribute. For modern term - it’s called apprenticeships
how to appreciate uncle? how to at least try maximize energy induced from his good food? contribute data share your thoughts what needs to be done start from here
Income tax people will pay you a visit. You will have to pay up those years of under declare income. You said one day 5 to 600 dollars. About 3K a week, 12k a month, 144K a year. Remember the curry puff seller years back, who boasted his sales, Iras really invited them to drink "coffee".
Chill. Did you have to be this crude and vulgar? This is just a mini documentary to show a snippet of a hawker's livelihood, how does that offend you so much?

Plain dumb,,so being dumb is happy pigeon, water life..but ok,,be a pigeon
I respect these elders so much, no words can describe.

Tirelessly hardworking!!

I am a hawker and I start work at 2 a.m. I know I'm not crazy and I love my job. When you love your job, time doent matter.

U right ..when u selling fishball? Talk talk talk..donkey talk
@@chinchowpowpook when you selling fishball? smlj kind of comment are you typing??
Stay healthy Uncle. And keep active and productive. But please don't forget to a break time and quality rest.
Very brave and if it keeps him happy, he shouldn't give up. Hope he gets some help. Retiring is not always for the best. Many kids believe that it is time for parents to rest but sometimes work keeps them sane.
Honest and hard-working man.
This is not crazy...this is the dogged attitude that made Spore what it is to today! Commitment and discipline.

A classic example of fishball slave,,only special is he is a slave and he is also a master.

Hard work, salute uncle! May God bless you always. Will feast on my fav Mee pok!
After this pandemic is over, i will go visit your country, Uncle! Please wait for me!
尊重他的職業精神，其態度的溫良恭儉讓我感動。有一回他不收我3元，並解釋要收擋了，料不足，堅持收2元，用勞力賺取微薄的生活費但一點都不貪婪。
你脑有问题
Typical of Chinese hawkers in South East Asia ,Taiwan and Hong Kong self resilience hard working 🙏🙏🙏my utmost respects

Agree. My father is still active at 77 years old. The activities plus good sleep discipline keep him healthy, physically and mentally

Looks so delicious, his sn should be able to help with delivery platforms.
He cant retire, because his body get used to it. Once he retire he will bug down because his muscle can no longer do the same movement as he do.
Government should help the hawker center
His stall is in private coffeeshop not in hawker centre so no rental waiver or reduction of rental fees in this pandemic period.
that's the hardworking spirit of the Chinese.. especially the elderly...
He loves his job. Loves his lifestyle.
Humble sweet uncle
$400/500 a day. Most people will miss that if it is gone.
Stay safe & healthy uncle ❤️
Uncle in my neighborhood die because his son forced him to retire, because he never rest just always work and work, his son doesn't want see her father keep working cause old age but not long after his son force him to retire he die so sad

His business is actually doing much better than most working class Singaporeans before covid pandemic and during pandemic.
w/o him, best mee in SG is legit good
guy you have to support this uncle ...best in JB some sat batangas
Hawkers are generally generous people. Unlike some leaders.
unlike your mcb knnbccb everything also like to politics fo mcbf oppigs
people like you knn must get f then happy
Government should provide rental waivers to hawkers, private coffee shops inclusive. Come on, you can’t make much selling a bowl for $3
I know of private coffee shops increasing rental during this covid period. Terrifying isnt it
Government does rental waivers for public hawkers but end of the day private is up to their own T&C .
What is smart? It means there must be some silly to know there’s smart..u smart or silly? Everything also kowbeikowbu gov
I like this menu. Looks delicious
The government shd be more flexible to this group of hawker who not under nea Management...thks 😁
Good UNCLE!!! sehat terus yah

In Singapore , you can retire but have to be cleaner or security guard , he rather contribute by serving good food .
So all the retirees are cleaners or security guard?

I think he should find someone else to continued his "legacy"
Dont think he can. That's why he doesnt want to retire, because if he does, his legacy is gone. And ideally he wants his children to do it.
