SocietyRetrenched at 54, former manager starts coffee stall in wet market

Former shipping manager Lim Wencong was retrenched two years ago at 56 and struggled to find work for more than six months. He used S$20,000 in savings to open a pour-over coffee stall at Bishan Wet Market, while his 22-year-old son put aside unfinished music and university ambitions to work full time and help ease the family’s burden.
