The Attractiveness of Singapore

Singapore 🇸🇬 is well-known for its school system, but not only!

It seems that the city-state also has an interesting professional path!

Why? 

The corporate landscape in Singapore is melding with multinational corporations, resulting in an interesting business ecosystem 🏢.

This doesn’t only increase the magnetic appeal of Singapore, but the possibilities for career growth as well.

The reason why a global talent may choose to work in Singapore, is the opportunity for a new career path. Or they may simply choose to become a part of something bigger than themselves.

In any way, this shows that choosing the place where you work or open up your business can be important. Because one place may be economically more promising than the other.

But I’m not saying that you must move to Singapore!

You should choose a place, may it be a Muslim country or a halal-company, that will have a positive impact on your growth, insha Allah ☝️

Forced to Work after Retirement

In China 🇨🇳, the pension system struggles to meet the needs of senior citizens.

More than two-thirds of the China’s senior citizens intend to work after retirement age, according to a survey from 51job.com, a Chinese recruitment website.

Because of the lack of manpower in certain sectors, some may state that the return of retirees may be a good thing.

But is it a good and fair thing for the elders?

A study held by the government-backed Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2019 found that the country's main pension fund for urban workers is on course to run out of funds by 2035.

And this phenomenon isn’t only appearing in China.

Elders that have passed the age of retirement, are seen working out of necessity in other countries too!

What is the cause of this?

A lack of pension funds and a lack of manpower 💼

What do you think could be the solution ?

No more food pictures ?

Are you also seeing a lot of food pictures during Ramadan?

For Muslims that spend a lot of their time on the internet, seeing constantly photos of food can be challenging.

Especially if that day you are already hungry...😖

But don't worry, creative agency UltraSuperNew has the solution!

They launched a Chrome extension named Foodblocker.

During fasting hours, it will block all food-related pictures from your browser. The pictures are replaced with an image stating, ‘Food looks better after sunset’.

ultraSuperNow made this tool as a gesture for the Singaporean Muslim Community 🇸🇬

And if you want to use it, you can download it from here !

May Allah reward you for your fasting 🤲
