Singapore may be a so-called ‘First World’ country with world class infrastructure and glittering sky-scrapers, but poverty is rampant in the HDB heartlands especially in its elderly population where many still have to work as cleaners, cardboard collectors and street scavengers to support themselves.

Below is a shocking video of poverty in Toa Payoh, a typical HDB estate in the central part of Singapore, courtesy of the Singapore Democratic Party, a REAL opposition party which dares to hold the government accountable.

The real problem is not govt don't help. The real problem is not enough social workers. Would you volunteer?

What a Loving coupLe..seLdom do we get to see this anymore .

 

[makapaaa]

No $ to Take Bus? Can Take Cab, Right? *hee*hee*​

 

[Cruxx]

This might sound callous to those apolitical sinkies who can't appreciate the gravity of politics but may I ask, whom did this elderly couple vote for? If it's the men in white, all I can do is to congratulate them on getting what they voted for.

What a Loving coupLe..seLdom do we get to see this anymore .

Laksaboy would probably laugh at them for getting married to one another.

 

[Prometheus888]

You are expecting this govt to give half a crap?

sorry but you are seriously barking up the wrong tree... and even when they do, their barking dogs will make such a huge media wayang sensation, all the modesty of true and sincere charity will be undermined

To increase the CPF savings of Lim Swee Say?

 

[GoldenDragon]

They aren't the only couple in this situation. Many, many more. Just that it is conveniently swept under the carpet. There are also many more cases whereby no $$$$ to even consult polyclinic doctors.

 

[Fishypie]

Laksaboy would probably laugh at them for getting married to one another.

Wahaha, what wicked thoughts..

 

[Kinana]

To increase the CPF savings of Lim Swee Say?

To help the poor that you pity do much. Are you willing?

 

[Prometheus888]

To help the poor that you pity do much. Are you willing?

Why dont you tell us about your own feelings then?

You dont give half a flying hoot right?

entirely consistent with your masters indeed....

Richard wan aka Makaapa.. The guy who hires Indian Nationals?

 

[Cruxx]

To help the poor that you pity do much. Are you willing?

Why not? Only dumb sinkies would look at tax rates and assume that tax incidence would fall solely on them. Dumb sinkies are too proud and delusional to accept that they ARE the poor and that poverty alleviation policies are in their interests.

The world doesn't owe you anything either. If you were ever stabbed by a bangla, I'll be the first to remind you of your weakness.
