Chitchat Temple Gives Out $20 Angbaos To Hordes of Pioneer Sinkies! Like That Sure Go Heaven Liao!

[JohnTan]

According to Chinese papers Lian He Zao Bao, hundreds of elderly poor queued in the rain for over 16 hours to get a S$20 hongbao from a temple in Balestier Road. An 81 year old elderly woman told reporters that she started queuing at 3pm on Sunday (Dec 31), and the rain started at 5am on New Year Day (Jan 1). The temple only started the hongbao distribution at 7am, along with a cup of milo and some bread for the “visitors”.

The 81-year-old elderly woman who queued from 3pm a day before said:

“I live alone and really need the money, so I came earlier.”

According to the media report, the queue with an estimated 1,000 elderly was more than 500m long at 7am despite the rain.

It is unknown why the temple made the elderly poor queue for the hongbao every year when they could have just distributed them to the numerous ghetto areas with rental housing around Singapore. The temple has earned praises from the government and state media for their “charitable” act.

Singapore elderly is one of the poorest in the GDP-rich society due to the failure of the CPF retirement system. Under Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, CPF withdrawal age has risen from 55 to 65, and CPF withdrawal was restricted with Minimum Sum doubled from S$80,000 to S$166,000. The PM who controls the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Ministry of Finance, diverts the CPF money into multi-billion foreign investments for the country’s two sovereign wealth fund companies, GIC and Temasek Holdings, where he and his wife Ho Ching are Chairman and CEO respectively.

Admin, can help me change 'temples' to 'temple' in the title? It is only one temple involved, not several.

I thought there are NO POOR in Singapore?...they make a 81 year old woman Q from 3 pm the previous day to get a $20 ang pow...that is, " really don't know, what to say"? What happened to the do good, do together??

I think I know where this temple is...

Any pictures of people driving Mercedes to collect the ang bao? Reminds me of the time when NTUC implemented the exchange of textbooks and sinkies actually quarrel over the books.

This is fucked up.
I remembered Shaw Organization many years ago when they gave out yearly $50 angpow for elderly. One particular year many had to queue due to huge turnout. After that they did away with the event and instead deposit the money into the elderly bank accounts. Do charity not for publicity.

Must give Shaw credit for his philanthropy. He not only gave angpows but also provided work.

While working at an MNC at Shaw centre I found out that there were many seniors who were invited to join the Shaw organisation. These people would otherwise be unemployed as they were considered too old & made redundant by other employers.

I am planning to do the same this year outside my office building. It would give my organization a lot of good publicity for doing charity. Would $10 in each angbao be enough? The size of the red packet would be large of course. It would look good for the photos.

I remembered some of these seniors / handicapped employees would work as lift attendants in their buildings....

When I was working at Shaw Centre I would see older guys tagging along with younger guys & sometimes the younger guys would get impatient with the seniors for being slower.

Those who are now older understand what it means to be slower because it is part of getting old

I think 5 dollar NTUC voucher is enough. And put your photo inside too to remind them who is their benefactor

The photo will be large in size in according to the standard that can be mounted in front of a vehicle, the $5 voucher will be taped in the middle...."the message is clear".

I wonder if macik will give out $20 "green pao" on a certain day of the year?...will there be a queue like this? It is really sad that a 81 year old queue for $20; she must be very strong, physically & mentally or is another dimwit?. Is she really that desperately hungry to get $20?

If that is the case...macik must "do good, do together" for her...after all, $20 out of $1,000,000 is "sup, sup, sway"!!

This is the reality of the world’s richest nation under pap.
The old folks probably took the day of from collecting cardboard....queuing up for hours is still easier work.
