Is it true that fat people are not allow to study or work?

Question

Well, I just heard it from someone that in Singapore. people are thin. Is that true? They said that fat people are punish

Answer 1

Hi,

This is definitely not true.

If you come for studies, there is no problem, depending on which level of academic education you are pursuing. The institute (which you are applying in Singapore) will review your academic performance in your country and advise you accordingly.

For working in Singapore, is what you can contribute that counts. Of course, the better track record you have, higher the chance.

Singapore is a multi-racial country, we welcome all colours and "sizes". Be sure of your source of information, don't let the blind lead you.

Answer 2

I guess that it is not true. Glad that i am not fat lol

Answer 3

Whoever gave you this information has got a nut in his/her mind.

All children in Singapore MUST go to school, be it thin, fat, short, tall, etc. Just that if a particular child is over weight, the school have a program for them. This program is to help these over weight children exercise more often and eat less.

As for work, if you are a boss and wants to employ a front office personnel, and a fat lady came to your office for an interview, then came a thinner lady. Ask yourself .. who would you employ?

Have a good thought...

@_@

Answer 4

You actually believe such stuff?

Answer 5

may i ask who you heard it from? so we can kill him

Answer 6

Nope - people aren't always thin, especially since the invasion of the USA - there's a McDonalds, KFC, Burger King on almost every corner now.

Whoever told you that fat people aren't allowed to study or work is obviously lacking somewhat in the grey matter department.

Answer 7

You must have believed that person to post this question in the Singapore section.

Answer 8

..yes very true....they are chained to their feet made to do laborious werks and given only bread and plain water once a day

....so if u are fat dont come to Spore....or u will be caught and sent to these labor camps...

Answer 9

Haha..never heard such restrictions.

You can see many chubbies and fatties at primary, secondary schools, universities and even in army..

Singaporeans are very fond of eating..that lead to obessity..

Only for front desk positions and sports instructors..etc, fat girls may be less considered...

Answer 10

Well you are being fooled by others as there is no such thing as fat being punished in Singapore. The fat people are advised to go to slimming as for health reason and some thought of it as "being punished". This is only a personal perception by some of the people and well, what you said is 100% untrue. There are many Singaporean which are fat too !!!

Answer 11

THAT'S UTTER RUBBISH. WE have a system of MERITOCRACY here. We are awarded according to our abilities, and not the way we look. Who's that person who told you? What an idiot. Well, we encourage people not to be fat because its unhealthy. That's all .  

Answer 12

Answer 13

Well that person is a moron.  LOL
