yes i will grow old... feeble and sick someday but my father's words to me were.... the world does not owe you a living... never beg.. work hard while you are young and save what you could....having to depend on family and country is the biggest stupidity .. depend on no one but yourself.... the government does not provide welfare to the extent that Europe and America do... do you knw what kind of debts these countries have as a percentage of their GDP... who'll pay for them....?
The world does not owe you a living, but your govt does - that's its job!
Receiving welfare is not begging.
Some fall through the crack despite having worked hard. It's hard to save because inflated hdb price took away most cpf.
the govt should provide welfare to Europe/US's extent. This has not and will not bankrupt any country. PAP is already collecting much more tax than Europe/USA, except that such tax are disguised as "hdb price" "cheap NS labour", "2nd highest electricity bill" "COE"
It takes a very selfish person to care only about himself and his family. A patriot cares for her fellow citizens. So the correct question to ask is:
What has he done to the poor, the aged, the disabled, the politicians who opposed him?
Ans: he did nothing for the 1st 3 grps, letting them suffer/die in a system with zero welfare, and for the last grp, he jailed one for 32 years and several for 20 years.
Why do u not hate such a person? Where is your sense of justice and patriotism?
And remember, such bullying and injustice will not just affect other people. It will reach you one day too e.g. you will grow old some day too! Watch the last part of this video which explains this concept:
perhaps i am selfish but i do really only care about my family and friends for I am not such a great person... when i do see poor folks I part with what I am able to dispense but frankly in singapore, such people are rare/.... have you lived in Cambodia or Vietnam before... thoses to me are real poverty
U should try to care for all your fellow citizens, and when you do, you will realise that this PAP govt has failed Singaporeans.
You pay your PM > leaders of USA + Canada + Spain + Japan + Italy + France + Germany + UK (G8) **COMBINED**. So why are u comparing us to Cambodia or Vietnam? You pay $100, you happy with a $2-worth of fishball noodle? Must compare apples to apples mah!
so what have u as an individual do to help this people, save from complaining that the government has not done enuff.... in my life i have seen how people became poor, thru bad financial management, gambling, laziness... surely you cannot blame the government for their plights...?
I have produced 100 videos to highlight the truth to more people, and propose solutions eg. in the 2nd slide of this video:
watch?v=nP_fas_XueU
What have YOU done, save for ineffective direct charity to a few people?
Have you seen people who become poor through no fault of their own eg becoming disabled, struck by cancer, and thru govt's bad policy eg indiscriminate import of cheaper foreign labour? Surely you can pinpoint the govt for their plight.
