Thank you Ling for sharing her story and mental health journey with us. If you guys are struggling with your mental health and need some support, do reach out to Project Green Ribbon (links in description box above)! Feel free to also share your own experiences or thoughts in the comments while keeping this space kind and safe (:
Marriage is the commitment and shelter that every woman needs. Man will always want sex, but women cannot provide that without the assurance of a long term commitment (ie marriage) because she is as good as providing services no matter what he calls her (ie girlfriend etc). My advice to women is when you meet a guy you must quickly size him up and make a choice. Is this the guy that I can accept as a husband? If yes, is he going to marry me (within a year etc)? If yes, continue the relationship, if no, quit asap. Otherwise you will forever be hopping from one man to another. Also, always wear protection unless you have been given the marriage certificate.
given the fact that she gave up on school and didn't have any proper education ever since 9 years old onwards, it's amazing how well-spoken and intelligent she seems now. it's a total 180 from who she was 10 years ago and i admire her for it, it's a miracle that she could escape from such a painful life, it's a good lesson not to judge people who are in a bad situation because they can turn over a new leaf and become a much better person, just like how she turned out to be now. she's been through so much and is still learning the ropes to living a proper life and i wish her all the best :)
Exactly! As a human being we are not PERFECT and nobody can ever be perfect! So before we want to judge or pinpoint our fingers at other people just because they make a mistake we must look at ourselves FIRST!
I can’t imagine being in her position and having experienced so much over the years. This is truly inspirational and I hope that what she has experienced makes her a much better person today.
An eloquent, strong woman. Ling, in a world where most don't spare a thought for others, where we think we're having it the hardest, you acknowledge everyone's experiences and struggles. We have much to learn from you.
Wow. Besides the stories that Ling told us, what I really found compelling was the way she expressed herself! She's so elegant, so good with words, so clear! Really inspirational!
I wished Ling highlighted more on the importance of home being a safe space for young kids. Our children only commute between school and home. When home is a hellish place, it simply means that they have nowhere to go or seek refuge. This leads to suicide/depression/trauma etc. Parents also need to be educated on maintaining healthy balance of praise and criticism. End.
Thank you for not giving up ling anne, thank you for having the courage to talk about this, thank you for being hope to someone else. 💗 uve went thru so much, i hope u r in a much better place now🌱
failing to take care of our kids and failing to give them a happy, safe upbringing puts them in such vulnerable positions in life. ling was failed by so many people around her - what a heavy life she had to navigate. I wish her well and I wish her peace.
if ling sees this, i would like to say that you are so so so strong and I thank you for not giving up! bless up and continue to touch people with your story
She spoke so well despite going through all those traumatised experience , truly is an strong human bean , an inspirational speaker who can help those who need help , please put your faith in her for helping u to cope with whatever journey that u may need help on her website !! Truly inspiring stories !!
This just goes to show that hope is never lost ling’s story is the best example of there’s light at the end of every tunnel maybe ur tunnel is just way longer compared to others.
Hello Yan Heng oh! my gosh! your comment is really TOUCHING! 😇😇 yes Yan Heng u are so right. there is always a HOPE no matter what happens. as a human being we must never give up! if we make a mistake we must learn from our mistake and be a BETTER person.
Ling brings so much wisdom and strength to this cause. She is clearly living an intentional life and has raised herself well through her journey of introspection.
I love the decision that Ling and her husband had made to start up Project Green Ribbon and offering an avenue to people in need. It really brings me joy and also inspires me that someone who has been through so much, tries to do everything they can to ensure that others do not suffer as much as them. Much love to Ling and her family ❤
she is such a bright light. and so fragile and in need of love but at the same time so brave and strong. I'm glad she now has the stability she deserved.
Such a brave and inspirational woman 👏 Ling, you should be extremely proud of yourself for going through all those hardships. Thank you Zula for providing this platform for her to share her story
We need a more sensitive and eloquent host for an interviewee like Ling who has something heavy yet important to share. The host is having a monologue, not really conversing with the interviewee. You can tell at the start she doesnt care about what Ling has to say about mental health just yup yup yup all the way and just want to get to the “gossipy” part. Interviewer should not talk more than interviewee too and no your judgement at 17:30 is unprofessional, you should be trying to get your guest to be comfortable with opening up not filter what they want to say.
Agree with Troy - this host is not professional and ready for this level of content. Interrupting Ling in the middle of her story to insert her unsolicited judgement was very rude.
Agreed. No mirroring, no empathy. Not a whole lot of respect for the story.. such a lack of emotional maturity for a conversation of this weight. if I were Ling, I'd have stopped talking. But she is a strong, thick skinned woman who's clearly determined to get her story out there.
Agreed...Ling's story is way out of Leah's league/worldview so her responses seem to lack empathy and are more like listening to a drama story instead of actively listening and facilitating the sharing. Not to blame but this is a typical display of inequality in Singapore - when some people just cannot fathom that stories like Ling's are real and happen up till now...
The host kept looking at the script and appeared so unprepared and unprofessional. Ling is already sharing her very difficult and tough lifestory and the host is just busy flipping the pages and asking her own questions without any empathy.
The host’s reaction to whatever Ling shared shows exactly why the rest of us needs to be educated on responding to such situations. She probably cannot relate and it clearly shows. Doesn’t help that she’s naturally loud and boisterous- makes her come across as unfeeling and inconsiderate to Ling‘s feelings.
Very edifying story and genuinely admirable for her guts to pull through so much along the way, many unfortunate incidents and episodes but glad that it is turning out well the way it is going.
Your story made me cry. I am glad that you are doing well now. Glad that you and your hubby is willing to contribute to the society even after going through so much.
She's wiser than many graduates. So many people have knowledge but no wisdom but she is so wise. I went through my fair share of difficulties growing up and it continues to affect my decisions till now. I truly understand what she meant.
You need to reconstruct these painful memories to share with us. There is a need to come to terms with your past. I can sense your sincerity in wanting to help others with your sharing.
Ling, you are very brave to share your troubled youth days… when a girl is young with no proper care and guidance, horrible things like that can happen. You sharing your story have created alot of awareness in society to let people understand that children suffers from adults’ bad decisions.
Ling is someone to be admired for her courage & resilience . Inspite of all her hardships , she remains so optimistic . On top of that , she is so articulate. Wishing u all the best Ling with your future endeavours!
Wow! Ling cuts an inspiring figure who had overcome the many odds in life and is making good of her experiences to make this worlld a better place for all those who are not so fortunate. Kudos and salute to what she is doing. May God bless all her effort and undertakings!
really love this sharing!! know how tough life can be and how we are often thrown into not 1 but multiple bad experiences. Sometimes it just feels like there isn’t any hope for better days but I’m so glad that Ling came out so strong and even out to help others out there! Am still finding my path in life and it’s always hardest to take the first step to get help but really feel encouraged by this, thank you 🤍 to anyone else out there struggling, jiayous and we’re in this together 💪🏻
I've watched Ling's video before so I know her story, but even watching this made me cry. Idk how Leah can tahan just sit beside her to try to host. Respeck. Crying now
Kudos to Ling! We will need more of these kind of social services going forward. All parents “damaged” their children, it’s just a matter of severity. An unloving home drives children away, to seek comfort in people who might or might not have your best interests at heart. Families who fail their children, these children will turn to friends, if friends fail them, social agencies and non profits will have to pick up the pieces. What if she had one person who had her back during those days? Her outcome would have be different. These traumatic experiences tragically causes CPTSD. A byproduct of callous relationships because our current world do not value responsible compassionate caregiving.
Not may people are courageous like you to share your story, no one could have felt what you gone through over these years of hardship. Those who are judgmental against you ought to be ashamed of themselves for not be with you during your hardship. Blood is thicker than water, I wish you all the best years ahead and hope that your relation with her will be smooth.
Ling you really have a lot to be proud of after having survived such a tough life so young. I admire your courage to share and to help others. Not many people are as tough as you are. Continue to believe in life. You are very well spoken and come across as very intelligent. You are a survivor and I’m sure will bring up your kids to be as well. Cheers
after listening to Ling's story, she is literally the embodiment of a lotus flower. Just like the flower, it thrives beautifully in a challenging environment. Huge respect to Ling's tenacity
On topics like this, I suggest that Zula finds an older interviewer who could perhaps help to dissect the stories that are being shared on this platform. An older interviewer would have gone through more in life and help to ask some questions along abuse; family relationships etc which would add value to the overall conversation as well. End
a wonderfully produced video, to the team behind ZULA and Ling💜 when hearing Ling's story, I can't even begin to fathom how much she went through, and my heart really goes out to her💛 I'm so happy that she's in a better place now, and is using her experiences to help and support others💗 keep going with this content ZULA, I really really appreciate this video and its focus on mental health💜💜 thank you💚
So sad to hear her story, early poverty and no family support to fall back on at such a young age, met a bad man but he provided food & shelter at that point. Thanks for sharing the story, people with normal life really wouldn't understand . . . But really so happy for her to be married later on and back on track again, good relationship with daughter, way to go. . Best thing happened to me is also my wife and baby 😎💙😍🥰
Appreciate v v much your candid and certainly super courageous sharing of your life that nobody would ever want to have to go through! Indeed your stepping out publicly to share your life and even started this Green Ribbon initiative with your hubby is testament to both your deepest desire to reach out to those who need help! 🤏👏 I pray that God will comfort, heal and strengthen your body, hearts and minds and grant you the desires of your life🙏
Wow…I really happy a girl go through all this painful memories and experience and she enable to do well now. She is lucky and she is unlucky. This social should not have the next similar story happen again. God bless all people. Thank you for sharing your story, which will definitely inspired a lot of people to care about more people.
There's too much summarizing by the interviewer. let the interviewer speak for herself, ask questions to open that up. The audience is caught in the middle of the conversation.
wow i started thinking i’ll probably watch a little and continue it another day bc it’s 2am but i just couldn’t stop watching?? it’s so inspirational and i felt so much for your struggles :”( rlly thank u for sharing; it really gave me a different perspective bc i grew up very sheltered and i rlly learned to appreciate what i have more! your journey was so tough and it’s rlly admirable how you managed to overcome that and grow into this amazing person :”) jiayou and keep fighting!!
Great video but also really annoying. Couldn’t Ling just tell her story all the way through instead of having Leah start each chapter and have Ling repeat? It’s so much of Ling repeating and making this so confusing because Leah is telling her story? Why?
Thank you Ling for your courage and compassion. I also grew up feeling voiceless. I still feel alone and scared all the time and I'm not sure how to help others going through trauma as well. I wish I lives in Singapore so I can access the community mental health support services. Thank you for changing the world 🙏
I wonder if Ling was someone who used to blog on Livejournal. I used to wonder what happened to her from time to time. If it is her, I'm really so happy for her.
Agree and she is following that script of paper in her hand like it’s some school presentation, rushing questions that don’t add value and basically having no empathy or connection with interviewee
Thank you so much for sharing Ling ❤❤❤ mental health is something that should be normalized and be taken care of "taking care of our heart" ,,, and yes giving us a platform to learn how to communicate to those in need will be really beneficial ,, just like how when i went through a rough period of depression people around me didnt know how to react, even I myself didnt 😢 But really glad im getting stronger and knowing how to handle it better now💞💞
why are people so mean :( ive always thought that if only everyone made an effort to be more sensitive, trauma would be reduced somewhat in that aspect... so why are there so many mean people:(((( ugh im tired
I'm in admiration of her story and thanks to Zula for finding someone like her to share her story. But watching this I get so annoyed at how bad the treatment of the piece is, how unprofessional the interview was conducted. You literally have a piece of paper while on screen with your questions on it.. And you should be letting her tell the story herself, not summarising it for her! The laundry list of cringe goes on but really I just think it's such a waste
Well.. i feel it might not actually be easy to share, given that so many things happened in Ling's life.. (and the trauma/emotions from bringing up such memories).. plus she did say she is still managing and trying to cope till this day. So I reckon a piece of paper with notes and questioms helps to then keep the flow of her story on track yea..
Omg i thought i was the only one. Yeah she is having a monologue, not really conversing with the interviewee. She doesnt care about what she has to say about mental health just yup yup yup all the way.
i think that her monologue was more of giving Ling a start point for her and the events Leah brought up were the more important ones that had an event before which led to these important parts so it really depends on how you see it…maybe she is disconnected but it doesnt mean she isn’t truly listening, that might be a bit too rude to judge off. maybe instead you could phrase it better and give Leah an advice that she can improve on next time instead of negatively putting her down because i don’t think that being the host is a very easy task as well although this video is all about Ling and her past experiences.
She is same age as me. But i think she is way stronger than me. I really admire her for coming so far. Its really really not easy. So proud of you. Your story had given me motivation to stay strong.
Ben, we are all strong in our own ways. No one is stringer then the other. Because our circumstances are all different too. No way to compare. But one thing for sure, we always make the best decision we deem at the point in time. Nobody chooses the worst decision. Have courage! Ling
Take care always, you all ladies. And for you guys, take care of your ladies. They are our jewels. I do what I talk, I take care of my wife well and my baby. In fact I document our growing family daily. The other day I uploaded baby gender reveal of our baby no. 2.
About the late timing I've been there too. I have a very bad curfew. My dad was so strict till I'm scared to go home because he will beat the hell out of me for being an hour late that's why I decided to run away. Not running away from home because I want to but I was so scared of my dad thinking what's gonna happen to me.

Indeed
Ling is so well spoken. U can tell that she brought herself up really well despite all those hardships.
When her parents said that she was not taught well by Mama, she persevered and proved them wrong.
I can’t imagine being in her position and having experienced so much over the years. This is truly inspirational and I hope that what she has experienced makes her a much better person today.
Thank you Lila for your kind encouragement. Ling
Anyway to make contact with Ling?…I need a massage hopefully with a happy ending

She was born to be a spokesperson and a leader figure. Watching this on the subway is hella heavy.

dont thinks its possible to cover so many things in so much depth unless the vid is like an hr long tho
We do have talks, and sharing for parents too. 🌻
Thank you for not giving up ling anne, thank you for having the courage to talk about this, thank you for being hope to someone else. 💗 uve went thru so much, i hope u r in a much better place now🌱
Thank you Aiko for your kind words. Ling
If this women writes a book on her life story, I 9/10 would buy it
Trying to work on that! And possibly a documentary for Singapore if we find the right help :) ling.
'9/10'... great motivation

Hello Yan Heng oh! my gosh! your comment is really TOUCHING! 😇😇 yes Yan Heng u are so right. there is always a HOPE no matter what happens. as a human being we must never give up! if we make a mistake we must learn from our mistake and be a BETTER person.
Ling brings so much wisdom and strength to this cause. She is clearly living an intentional life and has raised herself well through her journey of introspection.
Can’t imagine how calms the lady can be when talking about these things
Usually it's because we're detached from our emotions, and have most likely thought about these moments on the most logical sense
I love the decision that Ling and her husband had made to start up Project Green Ribbon and offering an avenue to people in need. It really brings me joy and also inspires me that someone who has been through so much, tries to do everything they can to ensure that others do not suffer as much as them. Much love to Ling and her family ❤
For a woman who did not have much education, she is very eloquent. Such a strong character, very inspiring.

wow i started thinking i’ll probably watch a little and continue it another day bc it’s 2am but i just couldn’t stop watching?? it’s so inspirational and i felt so much for your struggles :”( rlly thank u for sharing; it really gave me a different perspective bc i grew up very sheltered and i rlly learned to appreciate what i have more! your journey was so tough and it’s rlly admirable how you managed to overcome that and grow into this amazing person :”) jiayou and keep fighting!!
A True Superwoman..turns into a Heart of Gold..God Bless..in this journey of life..
Ling, you are amazing and truly an inspiration for many who are going through similar experiences. Thank you for sharing and for being so real :)
I cried when she talked about her baby
Great video but also really annoying. Couldn’t Ling just tell her story all the way through instead of having Leah start each chapter and have Ling repeat? It’s so much of Ling repeating and making this so confusing because Leah is telling her story? Why?
Thank you Ling for your courage and compassion. I also grew up feeling voiceless. I still feel alone and scared all the time and I'm not sure how to help others going through trauma as well. I wish I lives in Singapore so I can access the community mental health support services. Thank you for changing the world 🙏
she has been through a lot
so brave of you to share your life with others. all the best.
How despair your life is, if you can cross it, you'll bounce back x2 and even help other people a lot. Ling just did that. SALUTE and RESPECT!
I wonder if Ling was someone who used to blog on Livejournal. I used to wonder what happened to her from time to time. If it is her, I'm really so happy for her.
Just to ease your mind, instead of leaving you to wonder. It's not me 🌻
Unpopular Opinion : the interviewer is kinda breaking the flow!!
Not unpopular...I hope she could stop talking
@@evelynnc.6086 Exactly. Ling has such an inspiring life story but .. 🙈🙈
Agree and she is following that script of paper in her hand like it’s some school presentation, rushing questions that don’t add value and basically having no empathy or connection with interviewee
She is amazing and her hb is so supportive. All the best to u
Thank you so much for sharing Ling ❤❤❤ mental health is something that should be normalized and be taken care of "taking care of our heart" ,,, and yes giving us a platform to learn how to communicate to those in need will be really beneficial ,, just like how when i went through a rough period of depression people around me didnt know how to react, even I myself didnt 😢 But really glad im getting stronger and knowing how to handle it better now💞💞
Wow!u r a brave girl going through all the tough times...keep going...wish u well 🙏
why are people so mean :( ive always thought that if only everyone made an effort to be more sensitive, trauma would be reduced somewhat in that aspect... so why are there so many mean people:(((( ugh im tired
I applaused this woman whom having alot of courage and strength...
To everyone: “ Make your mental health a priority “
I'm in admiration of her story and thanks to Zula for finding someone like her to share her story.
But watching this I get so annoyed at how bad the treatment of the piece is, how unprofessional the interview was conducted. You literally have a piece of paper while on screen with your questions on it.. And you should be letting her tell the story herself, not summarising it for her! The laundry list of cringe goes on but really I just think it's such a waste
Well.. i feel it might not actually be easy to share, given that so many things happened in Ling's life.. (and the trauma/emotions from bringing up such memories).. plus she did say she is still managing and trying to cope till this day. So I reckon a piece of paper with notes and questioms helps to then keep the flow of her story on track yea..
I cried. Stay strong mommy
so much hurt caused...im really glad things are better now
I would say God saved her, with a child
Mad respect. Thank you for being so open and sharing your story.
Keep on Fighting. You'll Never Walk Alone.
The host feels very disconnected like she couldnt deal with the story or truly listen
Omg i thought i was the only one. Yeah she is having a monologue, not really conversing with the interviewee. She doesnt care about what she has to say about mental health just yup yup yup all the way.
I thought the same...
i think that her monologue was more of giving Ling a start point for her and the events Leah brought up were the more important ones that had an event before which led to these important parts so it really depends on how you see it…maybe she is disconnected but it doesnt mean she isn’t truly listening, that might be a bit too rude to judge off. maybe instead you could phrase it better and give Leah an advice that she can improve on next time instead of negatively putting her down because i don’t think that being the host is a very easy task as well although this video is all about Ling and her past experiences.
I like Ling's outlook on life. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤🙏
God bless you and your work ..omg I shook..I thought my guilt and my past was bad but I feel encourage that I still have a chance..thank you
Be strong and stay cool.. everyone has their hard times, get over and life will be easier…!
Very good sharing by this lady .Learn more about people with different experience and hope to share Gods goodness with them. Jesus loves everyone
Ling, I only have one word for you....Respect...!
She is same age as me. But i think she is way stronger than me. I really admire her for coming so far. Its really really not easy. So proud of you. Your story had given me motivation to stay strong.
Ben, we are all strong in our own ways. No one is stringer then the other. Because our circumstances are all different too. No way to compare. But one thing for sure, we always make the best decision we deem at the point in time. Nobody chooses the worst decision. Have courage! Ling
@@ProjectGreenRibbon wow. Didnt expect Ling to reply my comment! Thank you so much. Will rmb your words.
Take care always, you all ladies. And for you guys, take care of your ladies. They are our jewels. I do what I talk, I take care of my wife well and my baby. In fact I document our growing family daily. The other day I uploaded baby gender reveal of our baby no. 2.
She's strong women. Inspiring. Keep fighting and God bless
Even if you are not founder of Green ribbon i am still willing to listen to your story.
About the late timing I've been there too. I have a very bad curfew. My dad was so strict till I'm scared to go home because he will beat the hell out of me for being an hour late that's why I decided to run away. Not running away from home because I want to but I was so scared of my dad thinking what's gonna happen to me.
Is there a way to sign up for Project Green Ribbon?
are there any activities held by project green ribbon open to the public? i really wanna help out too
i take back every words i’ve said about my life being unfair
Very courageous to come forth ward to share in asian society... stay well & all the best
I am so inspired by u Ling I will keep u in my prayers ! u gave me strength to carry on
Don't ever give up, ling
Don't ever lose hope, in life we will always be searching. Ling
God bless her and her new path forward.
