Edit

Now that the election is over and our government promising to listen and help Singaporeans more, it remind me of my personal experience which had never give me a good impression of the ST Pocket Money Fund by the Straits Times Group which is part of our government machinery.
I was unemployed for over 2 and half years with 3 children attending school surviving on my wife $900 salary. In 2009, my eldest daughter pleaded with me to apply for the ST fund. I told her that this fund is just another hungry funding mechanism to entice the citizen into donating endlessly. She is not contended with my explanation and hence I submit my application to the FSC at Towner.
I was asked to attend an interview with my daughter. The officer informed me that besides submitting the income document, they also need to come to my house to interview my wife and other children. She also mentioned I also had to show all bank statement and all other payment default before she can proceed with my application. All this trouble just for asking $50 for 6 months. On the spot, my daughter told me to drop the application and she return home disappointed.
In the next election, my 2 daughters will be eligible to vote. Base on their personal experience, do you think they will vote for the PAP who promise the moon?
In conclusion, please help to inform to all around you to stop donating to ST Pocket Money Fund. Instead encourage them to donate to other religious group or other charities who are much more sincere and forthcoming in helping the needy. Besides, let stop this huge fund before it end up like our NKF, Ren Ci and next?.

Bro, don't be so mean lah. Maybe he is really at his wits end.

:(

to be fair, this ST pocket $ fund seems like being prudent in doing the income and backgrd check. if approve too easily will be deem irresponsible.

that guy just becos didn't get the fund threatened not to vote for pap. this type of guy will simply switch allegiance to whoever offers him some $. disregarding the fact that he has lost his job for 2.5 years, his guy is simply an asshole. give him $ he will vote for u. his vote is really cheap. wtf. tiu.

Please don't be so quick to judge. There are many reasons why someone does not work. There could be reasons beyond our comprehension. For e.g. The lost of the use of his limbs, sickness, maybe even retrenched and cannot get another job, or even a combination of reasons.

Fucking Char lAtan, nowadays you still use snail mail to apply for jobs right? By the time your application reaches the office, the jobs will already have been snapped up by FTs. Sorry, I forgot that dogs like you don't need to apply for jobs. Hope you have been neutered so that you don't go around sowing your stupid seeds. :oIo:

 

[patrickv]

pap dog,

i suggest u dun post so many and log in for so many hours during office days. up to u whether u listen or not.

Internet is no longer a lux. He could've been surfing at cafenet. Just me thinking.

 

[TNP(Tua Neh Pau)]

I dun understand how can someone be jobless for 2.5 years? In the worst case, he could have just taken up anything and it would be at least 600 per month. Better than not doing anything.

He want free money but dun want people to ask and find out more?

 

[cheekenpie]

I have no F**king respect for useless people who want handouts but don't want to go through some paper work to get it.

So maybe they should ust have a hotline where you call, say you poor, giver your bukit timah address, and wait for the cheque?? PUI!

Kojakbt: Pl tell him to have some dignity!
