Incredible. Surprise even that they even dare publish such a story.
8 in 10 S'poreans will not ask or go to Garment for help.
I think they do not trust the 'help'. Maybe too tulan to talk with the glassluts porlumpars. Can't blame them.
Anyway it s a good sign. Garment see it as "S'poreans More Self-Reliant".
Others, see it as people don't trust Garment or too tulan with them.
What are your views?
Question that should be raised but never raised is "Is The Help Sincere? Or Is It Just A Spin For The World At Large?
