Get real, how long can that $600 pittance handed out by the G last? Besides, those who are eligible for the Self-Employed Person Income Relief Scheme (SIRS) will only begin to receive the first tranche of funds sometime end May - in the meanwhile some already have no jobs, no incomes.......what other viable alternative do they have other than borrow from legal loan sharks to avoid starving to death?
Licensed moneylenders ain't no fucking saints either. Be careful who you approach, or you might just end up in an extremely unenviable position like this lass did.
Received a SMS myself from a "DBS agent" Terence Lok claiming he offers personal /biz loans........
Since when did licensed moneylending become an essential service?
This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. I won't be surprised if similar scenarios are unfolding all across the island.

Desperate times, desperate measures. This Alpha8 enterprise will probably be shut down once the authorities get wind of things.
