Paying off debt and being the sole breadwinner to 3 kids as a Grab driver-partner

In 2017, Jason, the sole breadwinner of his family with three young kids, fell under heavy debt from a failed business venture.
Determined to provide for his family and be a good father to his children, he picked himself up.
Jason turned things around for himself and his kids after he joined Grab as a driver-partner and committed to upskill himself through a GrabAcademy opportunity, all without neglecting spending quality time with his kids.

Real men sacrifice their time and money for their family respect â
But smart men don't start a family with kids they will struggle to take good care of
@@noelloh561 I have to strongly agree on this. But sadly many many people are not prepared or worst think that they are prepared.
Hats off to Jason
He does not give up. He is a responsible guy
sadly you'll never hear that "real woman should bla bla bla.." nowadays
Real men think of consequences and donât have so many kids in the first place
What an incredible man and father. Your children is blessed to have a dad who is a wonderful role model. All the best in your future endeavours!
Hatâs off to this father. Hopefully the mother is around to support the family as well
@Straight factsđ± you know the mother?
Feels like he is a good dad. Everyone fails now, and his kids would learn from him picking himself up.
Respect bro. You the man.
Hats off to the "real" man. A real man don't give up his family even during the most difficult times. They stand up and just be a man!
Everything will be alright.Your kids will be proud of you.Take care and stay safe.
Respect to you Jason!
Everyone has their ups and downs in life, itâs what you decide to do with it.
Your kids will be proud!
He is a good father with a great sense of family responsibility.
Very respectable. Wishing him all the best!
Just wondering, Where is the mum? Whatever it is, stay strong bro..
Kids must be really blessed to have such an amazing father. đ
Wish I had a dad like Jason. He knows what needs to be done and handles the reality like a man.
This just makes me appreciate my parents even more
Thatâs what I call responsibility, doesnât matter what job or origin of your root .

Good work bro! Hats off to you! At the end of the day, family comes first. Great that you have paid off the debts early.
Be strong đȘ don't give up. You are still young at mind and body.
A hard working father raising his three kids and pay off the debts. Kudos to you and have my respect. Greeting from sarawak. Malaysia.
The boy's reaction when his father spoke of homework. đ€Ł
:):):) a great man and you can see he is doing a fine job in bringing up his children I hope all goes well for all of them in their future lives...good job dad! :)
Single dad is quite popular than a single mother.
What a great dad
i am inspired by Jason and his sacrifice and perseverance.
Respectable!
you are their superhero. Very inspiring. Agreed, once they are teenager, likely they will spend lesser time with us. Their childhoods are important. I must make sure I am in their childhood memories.
Gambateh. Great things to your family

Very inspirational and all the best wishes from sabah malaysia
After imposing the three-minute no show rule (and creating unhappiness) and now this "brought to you by Grab", wow... clap for you lah.
Dude, bring your kids to the library, or the beach. Bring them to a concert, or a park, or even a combo of the two : a free concert within a park, for e.g. those concerts at the Botanic Gardens. Bring them to these places where their childhood will be filled with enriching experiences. Please donât bring them to the Arcade, which does nothing for the mind, and is really a waste of time and money. These kids are smart. Notice that they were not exactly thrilled at being told by you that they were going to the Arcade.
True true bring somewhere that is closer to nature from there they are able to learn moreâŠ.
Give him some time. I am sure he think Arcade was his past time that he forgot about other activities.
Can't blame him. It definitely tiring being a single father plus being in debt.
Another thing to note is exposing his children,i wonder what will the outcome be knowing his children will be make fun of having a single parents or a father with debt.
Hope this father muster his courage to keep working hard while spending time understanding his own children needs.
Free movie nights at botanics too. There are alot more fun and free places to experience and explore. The huge playgrounds, gardenby the bay, freeeeee and pretty, Build their strength and immunity outdoor. Free and really good.
Actually what's wrong with Arcade?
Hi all thanks for the encouragement. My wife is around just that she doesn't wanna be on screen that's all. She has been thru the toughness and sweetness together with me in life. âșïž
So no need worry let's all do our best in life to give our next generation. Cheers.
When I was in my very early 20's, I tutored labs, and a lady almost 50 was one of the students. She wanted to study in that specific field, even though later in life but age is only a number.
Inspirational
Respect
respect~
Wow, he actually took accountability and working multiple jobs to pay off his debt and take care of his kids. If this was the US why do I have a feeling the person wouldve been crying victim and asking the government for a free check? I hope this guy makes it big and his family enjoys his sacrifice and learn his hard working foundation as his kids will have a better chance in the future.
Good job. Keep moving forward
This is what life is about and not chasing after materialism.
Thanks
Salute
đŻ respect for you man
Wow!
Human desires are the root cause of frustrations and bondages. The more human desires one has, the more stressed out he will experience. But wise, we want so many, but we only need so few. Happiness is knowing what is the most important things in life : Peace. But what is peace? Very few people really know. Most people have never experience real peace in their entire life.
The things that most people think will give them happiness; money, family, career and possessions. All the superficial things in life. Grow up, be wise. Life is deeper than this.
Donât take more than you can chew. We want so many, but we only need so few. Life is short, travel light,
You are not the only one.
Can't imagine what it's like to be in debt close to SGD100,000 today. He's got his priorities in life right though. Raising his kids in an allrounded healthy home environment as evidenced from his children's demeanor. That, cannot be faked out in the video.
The plus points going for him:
âą he's still relatively young.
âą got never-say-die attitude.
âą willing to Grab; no problem.
âą got additional side income.
âą got great understanding wife.
âą debts nearly cleared; very important.
âą got HDB asset.
âą got helpful SG Government financial assistance in children's education, utilities, GST vouchers, transport, etc. Every bit of financial assistance helps.
When you buy a hdb. Youll be 200++k in debt.
Monthly installments la, stupid.
In Singapore today, in his case better don't have 3 kids. Let's be realistic!
Jia you!
Grab so awesome awesome đđđ let him have a better Life's with his kids again. But wonder where is children mother's. ???
Inspired
Thereâre a lot of free entertainment/venue Singaporeans can enjoy/visit for free. Donât need to spend. Financial aid, free textbooks/education for the kids etc too
I think what a father goes through to provide for family.... society simply doesnt recognise..
Jia you, not easy to be a father with debt, i am glad you faced it and clear off your debt, and not desert your kids and do drugs.
wow i aspire to be like him
How much can he earn as a Grab-driver a month? There is no stability in his salary. No basis/OT Salary,no Annual,Childcare,Medical Leave, etc. Might as well be a cleaner. Can earn more
Where is the mother? Or has she abandoned her whole family because the dad is in debt now.
This is a real legend of a father. Singapore should do more to support harsh life families like this. Create more opportunities for the children to thrive
đđŒđđŒđđŒ
what is the business sia?
Hopefully their mother can help themn
Grab didn't help him, he helped himself.
bank didnt help him to clear his $100k business debt
he go do Grab to pay the bankđđhe helped himself to do Grab to pay
he can just work @ any company
Amazing dude.
hello i am harmony
Where is the mom?
Looking at the other angle -> at "prime career age" where new citizen doesn't need to serve the army or Reservist [I think it goes against the enlistment act] and taking away good paying jobs from equivalent locals? I'll say, its sad to see locals Singaporeans paying off "debts" and struggling through lives just to make ends meet. Hence, I think the "Swiss Standard of Living" is for others. What do you think?
Where is teir Mummy??
I wish my father was that way. But we are sons of men, so expect our unrighteousness at times. đ€·
Where's the mother?
The door quite dangerous must tell your's daughter don't put her head inside.
Not easy for the dad!! 3 young kids. Not sure how he manages??
Jason, how in the world is it possible to pay off all your debts without doing exotic dances!?!?!? I thought that was the only way to pay your debts off in Singapore?
Many people failed because still hang on to old SG feel, old method..old mindset..old certificate..today, u need to be witty, outsmart..gutsy to live in SG..not school not distinction certs ..so long people telling u been react differently work differently make $ differently u are safe! Those donât take bold steps and follow what your parent say or government say n rely on single paycheck are just slowly digging your own family graves,,dragging all down,,end up appearing in video like this..this video is a reality wake up call for all..not for u all to sympathise..donât like? Then migrate to neighbour countries and lehpak there..today all heartlanders mostly end up grab or panda or kangaroo or honey bee delivery riders..jobs donât require the Mind power but legs n hands power ..slowly back to old sg coolies day..perhaps one day is SG turn to export our women out as domestic helpers to survive
Hey transport minister time to wake up
Chad
Singapore nothing is cheap..everything money..Gov't (Pap) realy rich bcuz of what..collect moneyđ€
MLM?
I wont provide my kids even if it means abandoning them at the roadside
but it's a grab ad innit
What happened to mum
Where is your wife?
Dun worry garment will give u 100 dorar gst voucher. Then charge u millions for 12% GST
Where got debt... still got time and money to arcade lol
He drive grab. A few trips than bring kids to arcade
He is in debt, not in jail.
Why yall assume the mum around though? The video didnt say anything abt the mum
Mum is a homemaker, just camera shy...thatâs why heâs the sole bread winner. Thatâs why when heâs out with the two bigger ones mum is home minding the little one...
Not one of the comments says to grab to better the faređąs of the rides...cos all customers in the end think of themselves only and how cheap they can get their rides...based on per km..what do you think the driver should get.....taking 4 Bangladesh workers for 2 km and \driver gets 4rm..is this fair? Bullshit lah
Ask people for help
go become housing agent... done! all $100k within 6 months
Where is the wife?
What happened to the mum?
She's in the room watching k drama , shy to be on camera
