“I’ve applied with the govt before. It always comes to nothing.” – Mother

“Where do you go to apply” – Christopher Lee

“The fourth floor of HDB inToa Payoh. I don’t understand much English. I only know it is the welfare department. Sometimes, they reject my applications. We go to them because we need help. Otherwise, why bother going to them or subject ourselves to humiliation? I wished I didn’t have to go there. They can be so rude. ” – Mother

“In what way?” – Actress..

They keep telling you to work. Its okay if I can find a job. But I may not find one that allows me to look after my children. We go to them only because we need help. They shouldn’t say ‘Look for a job. Don’t always expect help’ – Mother

“How did you reply” – Actress

“I kept quiet. Just weep. What else?” – Mother.
