'I wanted a more hands-on job': 21-year-old skips university to take over dad's fishmonger business in Marsiling market

Teo Ting Zhou, 21, helps to manage his father's business at Marsiling Market from Tuesday to Sunday, 5am to 12.30pm.As a child, Teo Ting Zhou had very little interest in his parents' fishmongering business, finding it "smelly and tiring".

"I saw that there was potential for the business to grow, and I also wanted a more hands-on job. Plus, as my parents were getting older, I wanted to help them out," he said. Aware of the sacrifices - working over weekends and holidays - and hard work required to run the stall, his father was initially hesitant about his son making it a career choice.

"He allowed me to grow as a fishmonger… What I like most about the job is wearing casual clothes for work."
