He said, "The truth is I'm afraid to let her know that I have a
mother who works as a beer aunty. When I was young, the people
around me would say nasty remarks about my mother and make me feel
inferior."
Adding that this was why he studied hard to end up in NUS, he
said that he felt that her money was 'dirty'.
"These money came from low-class, old and despo drunkards who
touched her hands.
"Ironically, it is these money that funded my university
education.
"One of the shame and humiliation which cannot be erased from my
life."
The student also said he has been lying that his mother is a
busy businesswoman instead and is afraid that his girlfriend, who
is from 'upper class society', might leave him upon learning the
truth.
He ended his post by saying, "What have I done in my previous
life to deserve a shameful mother!"
The confession has drawn flak, with the top comment in the
thread being, "Your mum shouldn't have sold beer. she should have
sold you when you were born."
