20 September 2020 Hardship felt among people Covid-19 pandemic not only affects health of an infected individual. People are fearful of losing their jobs. 11,350 people were retrenched in the first half of this year. This kind of fear can cause mental stress. Whether a worker is a foreigner or a citizen, they felt similar kind of anguish of losing a job. Some have families and some have financial commitments. One never knows how it is like to be in this situation unless the person is the one retrenched. My heart goes to all people in this difficult environment during this horrendous time. During this time of hardship, spare a thought for everyone and not forgetting yourself. Be kind.
