Aiming to assist people who struggle with debt issues, Singapore People’s Party (SPP) Khan Osman Sulaiman took to his Facebook on Saturday (18 July), encouraging the public to come forward to join the Purple Ribbon Project which helps people manage their debt problems efficiently.

According to Mr Osman, the Purple Ribbon Project was launched early March with his partners and hopes to assist more people to be financially independent and better manage their debt issues.

“On top of politics and my renovation business, I have embarked on a cause which I believe in. To assist people to be debt free,” he wrote in his post.

Mr Osman also shared a video featuring a woman who shared how she became caught up in debt and was eventually assisted by the Purple Ribbon Project.

Speaking in the video, the woman named Madam Yosnita said she was trapped in debt due to the high cost of medical treatment after she was diagnosed with cancer. Due to the high medical bills, she said she had gone over her the limits of her credit cards and consequently, she ran up a total debt of $66,000.

Following a recommendation from her sister, Madam Yosnita said that she reached out the Purple Ribbon Project to help her in dealing with her debt issues.

Coming back to Mr Osman’s post, he also encouraged people who have debt problems to reach out him. He stressed that he is not helping people by loaning or lending them money, but instead, he is doing it through the available Government’s programme while “channelling the people to the right path”.

“To be clear, I don’t give out loans and I’m not a money lender. I use the available programmes by the government and channel these people towards the right path,” he said at the end of his post.

It is noted that the Purple Ribbon Project was initiated by Edudebt Pte. Ltd to engage the community and create awareness to debtors who are in deep trouble.

“This campaign is a concentrated project targeting people who are stuck in debt trap due to genuine spending for example sick parents, children disability and any other emergency reasons,” the Purple Ribbon Project website read.

我国第三季经济萎缩七巴仙

据贸工部今日(14日)公布第三季初步经济预估数据,我国三季经济萎缩七巴仙。 不过这比起第二季度的13.3巴仙萎缩有所改善,相信与阻断措施后重启,经济情况逐渐恢复有关。 经季节性调整第三经济环比扩张7.9巴仙,而上一季萎缩达13.2巴仙,环比表现反弹。 因疫情导致全球经济情况恶化,加上我国上半年经济表现疲弱,贸工部在8月份向下收窄全年经济预测,从原本预测萎缩4巴仙至7巴仙,下修至5巴仙至7巴仙。 制造业第三季同比增长两巴仙(第二季萎缩0.8巴仙)。经季节性调整后,制造业第三季环比增长3.9巴仙。 建筑业同比萎缩44.7巴仙;经季节性调整后,建筑业环比增长38.7巴仙。 服务业萎缩巴仙巴仙。不过,经季节性调整后,增长6.8巴仙。
