Local visionary Lai Wei Xiang has bravely shared the traumatic story of how he was forced to spend several minutes in a welding mask before inheriting his father’s steel empire.

While regular Sinkies waste their lives on GrabFood deliveries, Lai proved his merit by surviving the unimaginable horror of "having a job" at a company his family already owns.

“I didn’t just wake up as a Managing Director,” Lai explained while polishing his steel-toed boots with the tears of underpaid subcontractors.

“I actually had to learn what steel was, which took almost an entire afternoon of looking at it from my air-conditioned office window.”

The Straits Times has hailed this as a victory for social mobility, proving that any Singaporean can succeed if they simply choose to be born into the right tax bracket.

Lai’s advice for struggling youths is simple: buy some heavy boots, stand near a factory, and wait for your inheritance to manifest through the power of pure nepotism.
