  • This feels so sad, I feel like I am seeing a reflection of myself when i am old.

  • I'm halfway through the Communist Manifesto right now, the thing is, with constant enflation in 3rd and 2nd world countries the amount of money the proletarian class gets as minimum wage will always decrease in value. The essence of minimum wage is that it ''barely'' keeps the working class alive.

  • omg.. he means that it offends the whole society that the govt is not doing anything to help the poor la.. omg.. taken out of context

  • Will we grow old and be forgotten by the society of our each and individual's contribution?............

  • Very very sad ..………

  • Its not that there are no baggars, you just can't be bothered to see them

  • @tyoungos: Yes I do feel that my people are used... used straight from youth, given an education to create a bunch of brain-washed youths, who learnt that "milking"(using your vocabulary) others at their expense for their selfish benefit is right.... that have no respect for elders, that throwing them to die at another country is a good idea since they are of "no" more use...... that being materialistic is all that matters, ..................

  • It makes me cry when I see these old people living on the street, working themselves almost dead for a few cents...

    :_(

    Since this video I gave every begger something, food, money, just something to give them a bit more hope...

  • my question is : why is the government, who can afford to invest so much money overseas, not doing anything to help these people?

  • i see this video, that burning anger inside me ... I find it hard to swallow ... How can PAP treat people like this! I feel disgrace as a Singaporean. Vote for Opposition for a better Singapore!

  • this video hit the spot!

  • I fully agree with you. It is offensive to pay lip service to help the poor while the Government squandered away our resources on massive losses incurred by a few decision maker, who are not accountable to the people. You deserve an OSCAR for producing this video.

  • this video tugs at my heart string so hard that i am exploding into tears ... i see these people all the time in the rich wealthy Orchard areas..... how long can this go on ....

    it pains me so much....because Money has never been enough from the day i begins to understand life.....

    The song is really good..... Praise God for such kind talents....

  • Base on video, singapore have lots of broken promise. because of it investment, made singaporean suffers until people need to pay high gst and the import of foreigners made singapore have no jobs, out of 10 jobs , 6 are foreigners took..

  • Spore eduation system is torted to be the best,yet after paying so much for it & producing scholars,we allows our SMRT to be runned by a Malaysian CEO who came from Duty Free Shop.The 55yr Malaysian woman is now laughing her way to the bank to collect her $1.8 million pay,in her new Ferrari. What happened to our Scholars

  • despite a large GDP and economic success, singaporeans still live with, relative to our cost of living, the spending power and subsequently the standard of living comparable to that of the people in Moscow, Kuala lumpur and the warsaw republic. these are what studies have revealed but of course the articles of these studies were never reported in local media. care to wake up from your apathy and start thinking, singaporeans?

  • This made me cry on how life is difficult for us, singaporeans.

  • Temasek and GIC is the investment arms of the government. The Singapore government operate like a corporation.

  • my observation of this video: the old, poor and destitute sit in the middle of crowded streets amongst young, able and supposedly more well to do people walking around, and not 1 of them offered a helping hand. it's as though people are devoid of compassion because they are used to, and numb to the plight of the poor. this is very sad.

  • Where's the music from?

  • Im disturbed by the elderly scene, it could be our parents in the future... Maybe the govt shld be concern, if the young gens are just so ignorant abt this...

  • Be brave- show what you truly feel by making it count- that is in the POLLS, do not just send it out to people- make it count.

  • See wat i mean. Taiwan fired 19 missiles today 18jan11, after China Stealth fighter test flight last week. Dont play with other countries politics, like tis BMBEBB guy. He thot he is superhero mediation guy which no one in tis world dare to do or stupid enough to try. And his son talked abt Yuan rises has no effect on US or Europe. But was deleted. i saw his speech and noted the web site, commented. Now, i cannot find it. Watever u do, pls dont get Singaporeans into trouble with other countries.

  • Big mouth, Big Ego, Blinded Brain. Tis guy visit China over 4 times in1999 till the President Hu kicked him out in Sept. Confirm w ST, Taiwan, China newspps. He went on to visit the now jailed corrupt former Pdt. ChenSP of Taiwan against Taiwanese protests in Sept 2000. Followg mth, Oct 2000 Taiwan CKS airport crashed SQ006> 84 deaths. Pilot became fallguy. Dont interfere w foreign politics. Its not like tiny shit island politics. Theres no need to kill innocent ppl.

  • GO SINGAPORE!!! MAJULAH SINGAPURA! :))))))))

  • Could I know what is the song name

  • @grpsxd It's "My Immortal" by Evanescence

  • If you are a Singaporean, and wonder where all your CPF goes to, watch this video.

    You may receive a statement every month, but they might not have the cash inside.

    It's just an empty statement.

  • LOL! That was like 1980

    Singapore.. Of course there were poor back then!..

    It was until 1990 when Singapore managed to almost reduced these to zero!

    how stupid...

    Majulah Singapura!!!

  • " James 5:1-8 " ...his retribution will come...

  • Why government not taking care of poor family since they are afford to pay high salary to the ministers?

  • thks for reveal the true , i alighten by this video

  • - evilgunner888 foreign people coming take over our job i wonder next time do Singaporean have any job to do?

  • The rich dont care the poor suffer more we will soon be dry . Now more foreign people are coming to take our job .

  • ENOUGH YOU BASTARD.......

  • this video is sooo touching... almost made me cry..

  • The goverment don,t care about us. We need to open up our eyes. Don't be afraid.

  • we all should walk the talk.we all complain that singapore is good for foreigners.Are we all waiting for foreigner to replace us before we can do anything about it?the pap has nothing to lose but we will lose our identity.Malay,chinese and indian will not become the majority of the population in the future

  • some of you fucktards have obviously been brainwashed by Lees. I agree with shahil... ah..sad life in singapore... fuck this!!

  • Basically Singapore is a good place for foreigners and not for singaporeans. Its like NS for singaporeans-Jobs for Foreigners. =)

  • @idunnosia OH WAT DO YOU KNOW YOU DIMWITTED PERSON

  • jbejibear- exactly uniquely singapore, no 1 will be stupid enough to go for a change in govt. i am a singaporean and i honestly think we just complaint, that's all we do nothing else

  • What you are seeing in Singapore is the beginning of the final stage of debt-based capitalism which is, by its very nature, a giant Ponzi game devised by parasitic Western Zionist banking elites from whom the educated Singaporean ruling class learned. The real danger of these capitalists lies not in their untethered intellect but in their cold ambition and selfish greed that sees nations and people as but living fodder to be milked, used and discarded as they and others profit.

  • I am very interested in your point of view.

    may i have some sources from the web on your view?

    pls advise thankss

  • Where are their 'filial' children??

    Poor old folks abandoned by ungrateful childfren. As I see it, it's not the govt we should be questioning as they are always doing their part BUT the children who chase after material possessions to keep up with the 'Jonesses' or the next door neighbours; borrow from the banks, loan sharks, paying by instalments etc to look good and impress others w fancy homes and cars, fine dining.. but neglecting their parents...and hounded by the lenders in the end.

  • come one... you sure?

  • This is indeed sad to see all of them like that. Hope all that losses can give to them and use it on more useful stuff. But we cannot blame him for all that is happening......there will always be poor rich and middle class people. LSY can help singapore come this far. We must be more grateful then start cursing him. Unfair to him.

  • They are high class people, always right one.....they think even their shit smells nice...

  • gd clip! well, is uniquely singapore, u choose this govt, so be it & if things so bad, then change ur life with your voting rights...then see lar...

  • Mmm... Is SingaPrimus a PAP also? I don't think every beggar will be that rich as you have said. True, there will be some rich "beggar" but the majority is defintely suffering.

  • kns your parents raise you up , when they old you should take care wad!

  • Money No Enough, how to take care??????

  • thank the person in this video, kind enough to donate.

    may god bless ur soul..

    makes me sad, and angry. where is the whole lot of money gone to ? invest ? FUCK YOUR FUCKING INVEST !

    u are OLD, going to meet ur maker soon.

    they also wish they have a job like u. juz sit and talk too much ! yet shits only come out from you mouth !

    Fuck your propaganda !

    ARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this video ..although the views on investments are a little skewed... All i can say is lets wait and see ... investment horizons are meant to be long term .. assessing investment choices over such short horizons is not a very fair judgement either. Besides if GIC are really going to publish annual reports and follow listed company procedures, they would have already exceeded governance standards of most global SWFs

    BUT YES .. the poor are not offensive! Very thought provoking video!

  • The point is never abt the figures of gains and losses our SWFs made; but the contrast between our supposed wealth and the actual wealth.

    Singapore Rich is never = to Singaporean Rich.

  • Yeah agreed, which is why i said at the end it is a thought provoking video. I get it, I volunteer myself .. i totally know and understand what the scenario is. and its from experience where i agree with your last line, "Singapore Rich is never = to Singaporean Rich. " All i can say is, lets hope more pple donate to such worthy causes ..and i wished that more singaporeans, donated TIME rather than just MONEY to help these pple. but yes ..shared sentiments my friend :)

  • as for the beggars trust me when i say some just to past time, some really in need, some got help but it never seems enuf...most beg to satisfy their own need like cigarettes, liquor...i know i scolded one of them after catching them red handed..i am not a policemen. there are also those sadly who are abandoned by their rich kids..so who to blame..govt i don't think so....it is society . family values that has gone down the drains.old folks home we get people abandoned there all the time...

  • hi hello there people..........lets put it this way.....investments are risky either way you put it. It is a known fact we have a huge reserve and it comes from investment. so if it fails maybe you should lok at the core.....where did all ths global recession start.

  • @naufiee

    agree...low risk, low return...high risk, high return...i think government doesn't even care about asset allocation, all they know is how to profit more money by dumping everything in equity market and when the market crashes, everything goes wrong...the GIC chief likes to take risks, so what? the money is NOT the chief's money, it is the government's money which comes from the taxpayers.

  • @SSF87 lemme correct u, its not even a risk, its just dumping money to foreigners. i dont really see them investing in local companies other than those that they own

  • Ho Ching says she has "no regrets" over squandering Singaporeans' tax dollars after buying up worthless foreign paper. Clearly, she's the expert on Wall Street. Heil Ho-ching!

  • Great video.. It the real thing that we have been blind off by busy life style..

  • good video but very sad

  • Well Done

  • This is one of most interesting videos i have ever watched.

  • I like the way it is being presented. Hats off..

  • Meritocracy my ass. Thats why all the top politicain and power moguel come from the same familee.

  • Erm thats why work hard and u will have a chance? They put in the effort..and they get the job done...if u really love politics and want to do smt abt it... why not U WORK HARD AND IF URE SMART ENUFF u can get in too

  • hey kenzrushz, i bet u still live with your parent.

  • touching seh.

  • Say NO TO PAP CORPORATE FASCISM.

  • Where are the beggars in singapore? All up the lorry to police station lor.. thats why u cannot see them... Its against the law to beg... Anything that makes singapore looks bad is against the law... thats why they claim they did a superb job and worthy of such high salaries even 6 times of Obama! Well done ...

  • Majulah SINGAPURA!

    Majulah three millon strong!

  • three million strong or three million fool? we will going to loses our Mother SINGSPORE at the ends in tragedy? Votes for Singaporeans, votes for our country and surely not for the wealth's fascism just like PRC!

  • After watching, if you want to go on to Money No Enough 2, it's here:

    youtube com/watch?v=BdOHPmaD5mE

  • Best la this video show what really happen in Singapore

  • nice video.can i ask wad is this song?

  • Evanescence-My Immortal

  • Such an enlightening video. Its so sad to see the true doings of the government when one finally see the other side of Singapore. Beneath the 'peace and stability' lies a shadowy dictatorship of oligarchy.

  • SWEE SWEE!yes.

    NICE ONE.

  • I'm not going to support them forever!!!!!!!!

  • Nice Video....

    ABC is gone now BTW...

  • Dear: Prime Minister, we citizens of Singapore urge you to PLEASE MIND YOUR OWE BUSINESS. WE DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP. Everytime you mention HELP, we have to run for cover!! Help the Poor? Raise GST! Help the Traffic? Up ERP! Help passenger Service? Up MRT/Bus fare! Help us taxi? Raise taxi Fare! Help us get good Government? Raise Minister/Civil servant Salary. Everytime you want to Help, We all Pay for it!!! Thank your & Tolong Lah, please, we will HELP OURSELVES!

  • AND

    The singapore government is still one of the 'non-corrupted' governers still around!

    Well, I'm not complaining

    Hey no offence though..i'm just 14

    LOL

  • in other countries, politicians get 'under table money' to supplement their insufficient.; In Singapore, they get it 'on the table'. By switching the the method, it appears to be 'non corrupted'. Essentially. it's a day light robbery. even worser than corruption

  • Hmm.. good point though

    LOL

  • It's a known fact that Singapore pays her ministers some of the highest if not the highest - across the globe.

    And we're not even ranked top 3 in the world for nations with least corruption.

    and I really agree with liangjun24, who needs to have dirty under table money when they can get money openly on the table?

    Not saying that the ministers are idling away doing nothing, but they are definitely not doing enough and the exorbitant salary is definitely unfair to Singaporeans ...

  • AND

    The singapore government is still one of the 'non-corrupted' governers still around!

    Well, I'm not complaining

    Hey no offence though..i'm just 14

    LOL

  • all these r old videos for goodness sake!!

  • These are the people who support the govt and they are left to pick cans?

  • wut song is this?

  • My Immortal by Evanescence

  • thanks!

  • the beggars...they look healthy, limbs and all, cant they go find a job? some of them are just plain lazy, they beg and they use the money to go buy beer then the next day they beg again. go get a decent job for goodness sake.

  • i thot most look old and elderly

  • i dont think that they are lazy, i think its bcox no one want to emloy them, if they are really lazy they wont be going around collecting cardboards and the faultslies on the government, the government DID NOT take care of them...

  • @fishballsoup90 they can't because they are too old, people here employ you based on your age as well. So for them, its physically impossible to be employed so they don't have a choice.

  • PAP's plan is to turn this place into a company and establish themselves as the true elites. Our own citizens will have to pay market rate for public housing just like all foreigners. Our electricity bills are inflated to allow Singapore Power to make billions of dollars, not to mention that Singapore,unlike many countries, do not subsidise utilities at all. Our CPF money is locked and cannot be withdrawn even when we are unemployed. We are buliding a heaven for the elites and the foreigners

  • The point now is not to argue here, but to express yourself in the open. Go to Hong Lim Park and do something about it. It's the only way to pressure the govt to do something.

  • this clip is trying to "pick bones in the egg". stupid.

  • hkm18, billions of OUR money are involved. Thousands of OUR fellow elderly Singaporeans are involved. Nobody in his right mind will find this issue "bone in the egg". And I think you are in your right mind. Thus, for you to dismiss such a big issue, I can only conclude: you are a pap ball-carrier cum running dog!

    Have some shame and worry - you will be old one day too. Don't think money is permanent. You could be abandoned by your master and end up on the street too. lol

  • then dun take your GST money. its probably from tamesek and the goverment anyway. give it to the poor then if u are so righteous.

  • fierydevil71,

    GST rebate is small fry. It cannot help the poor once and for all. Only pap ball-carriers can use it as an excuse. lol.

    The ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL way to help the poor is to implement some welfare for sg. THis means kicking out PAP, which is for zero welfare. This means winning elections, which in turn, means convincing people that *some* welfare is gd and will not bankrupt sg. This require free speech, fair election etc. I am glad some oppo. party is working towards that.

  • fierydevil71, GST rebate is NOT from temasek/govt. It is from YOUR and YOUR parents' hard-earned money! Each year, you/your parents pay so much money to the govt via inflated hdb price, withheld cpf savings at low interest etc. But 1. only a small amt is returned to you via gst rebtae, and 2. you get no welfare when u are old!

    Righteous pple see this injustice and want to overturn pap. Unrighteous pple carry balls and tell others to support pap and to just give away their gst rebate! lol

  • PLEASE stop voting with the flow, we are not mindless people, dont vote for PAP vote for SDA!

  • The 2 people in 2:15 are so kind, but others all just ignore ... so sad for those people..

  • i tought it was the trailer, it would work good for trailer. That guy has to look before he talks about the beggars in Singapore -.-

  • Walau!!!! Can cry ahrr!!!!

  • The part on the investment of SWFs may be proven wrong in time to come, but I think overall, this video shows that Singapore really has a long way to go in caring for the needy. This is mainly the govt's responsibility. If they cannot even let these people who contributed to society in their younger days live the rest of their lives without worries, then they(govt) are unfit to rule. However, we also have a role to play. We can dictate measures to the govt. We are the people.

  • this is a powerful video. the next step is to move the nation.

  • Do not always vote for pap .They may become arrogant and do less for the singaporeans. I waiting for the next election and see if they lose more seatinga perhaps 40/40 can change them from exploiting the weak.

  • Also, kindly keep the background music softer otherwise we can hardly hear the speakers' comments.

    Cheers. Sati

  • Simply excellent. Please continue to update this video or create a series. I think you miss the Phey Yew Kok incident - how could a high profile criminal simply flew out of Singapore. If you go back in history -- Selamat was not the first case of such blunders!

    Cheers. Sati

  • raising singaporean workers salary not a solution!? so is raising ministers' salary through taxes and etc. a solution?! haha wat crap

  • Lastly, assets does not equal wealth, because handphone can spoilt n people who own HDB flats may end up with their old age savings all gone also. So don't start look upon the little that we have and begin having eye sores. Ended.

  • And this is the true voice of an average singaporean, although we may support or not support the government. However, don't ever vote out of impluse, rather, people really need to vote wisely.

  • In Singapore, for the average, if we buy, we can't save. If we want to save, we can't really spend. So we cannot measure the wealthness of a people in a country by the quantities of goods they have on hand or rather the luxuries which some perceived "@@" them as having. But of course we havent made to go hungry yet so we can still breath a little here n there.

  • Many people tot we are rich, actually we r living from mouth to mouth just nice. That is why people go Northwest CDC when there is a recession. Understand. And when we donate to those tsunamis, it is not because we r rich, but we fork out from what we can and also but simply because Singaporean are Just Soo Kind and Just Too Nice "@@"

  • that's why some people say being kind doesn't pay!

  • This is a petition: If we can lose some millions like these, why can't we give more incentives to the old peoples who live on streets nevermind if they have or don't have children. They are all old already, won't live long anymore anyway, so please help pay for them their waterbills lah aiyo.

  • oh boy, i wonder if kwan yew surfs youtube.

  • "Singaporeans Fume Over Ministers' Pay Hike"

    And Singaporeans will still vote for these ministers. Funny isn't it?

  • You people VOTED for PAP and now you people complained against those leaders YOU voted into parliament! We need a few more Low TK and Chiam S T. Check and balance or else "cheque and forever balance". So don't vote with your feet, Singapore. PAP is a good party lacking the check on them.

  • So is the opposition going to eradicate poverty? Can you really promise that there will no beggars and impoverished elderly?

  • there is no way there will be no beggars or poor,but at least minimize it to the lowest.

  • No harm letting them try, if you are really interested in seeing changes. 5 years later and you can make your choice again.

  • i will definitely vote for opposition party for sure .Calling all singaporeans if you have conscience ,vote the opposition to weaken PAP standing in election.

  • JUST to weaken the PAP standing?

    you think the nut job dr.chee could have done a better job? just look at him.

  • Nut job? Ask yourself if you had not been poisoned by the media and PAP.

  • AGREE! :D but have to wait for 2 more years.. :(

  • While I do agree with the messages and stuff here 100%,I feel is important that we know when not to say too much.

    Supposedly people have said there is a ISD watchdog, surfing youtube and forums,to look for people badmouthing Singapore's Gov.

    While I'm only 15, I know that the consequences if they arrest you is high.So we should not post anything negative about them.

    Wait get arrested by ISD

  • But still, this vid is VERY good.

    I almost cried while watching this.

    What has happened to these people?

    WHile temasek is Losing and earning money,

    these people fight for survival

  • if posting a free video on this free web is detainable by ISD, then there is not even basic human rights in this place.

  • This video portray the poor is truth and the temasek losing billion of money is truth too.If we still support the PAP government we are what the taiwanese describe singaporeans are stupid and that is truth too.Wake up Singaporeans .Don't be blinded .so sad if we still vote for the arrogant PAP

  • selective propaganda here. instead of showing the ultra minority of underacheivers, why not show the vast majority of people who had prosper beyond their dreams under the government's low taxes, pro business policy.

  • So newspaper today 18Aug08 govt said by giving citizens from nation's surplus would helped citizens greatly. Hearing from a PM who said "Mee siam mai hum", signifying he is not in a least bit connected with his citizens, not even in the dietary. But sorry, hawkers raising 30cts. How long will your "govt assistance" last???

    He ends his points with "it will benefit the citizens" yet we are not seeing it.

    My patience is running thin...

    The story of the Animal Farm? Guess who's the pigs...

  • so why must they report out in news?

    if you and other people who are interested in how temasek holdings are doing, you and others will definitely buy newspaper and go internet to search abt news on temasek holdings investment status. so what for media reports on such things when most singaporeans are not interested abt it.

  • why only show the bad foresight of temasek? for those who jus comments after e videos, ever thought of e success temasek did? if temasek did not earn a single cent, it would have die down long time ago, its because of alot of success that they are able to survive and earn more money though a few losses, in this world, no one can save everybody, u save one, another one will sit and wait for help like e first one. help are already given out as much as possible to those in nid.
  • 1.if temasek ever earn a single cent,it is not for the ppl of singapore at all but for them greedy self

    2.temasek loses billions but ministars still pay themself fat salaries,so is this justifiable

  • why show only bad foresight u ask?

    den lemme ask u did the press publish anything abt these bad things?

    NO they DINT they quietly shutup

    if they really earn money, do u think the media will shut up?they will exaggerate the whole thing like temesak earn 10trillion dollars but state things like it will be reinvested. never will they say things like it will be used to help singaporeans.

  • this is very sad, all those billions and billions of singapore dollars gone..

    they should have think twice and build a house for homeless people to stay in and give them some money to support themselves

  • we cant even say anything, if u get wat i mean

  • Nice edit!

  • Lee Hsien Loong, I hope you can spare 4 minutes of your life to watch this video.

    You're a pathetic excuse for a human being. Shame on you. Let's see how you censor YouTube and try to lie to Singaporeans. Better tell Ministry of Education to tone down the propaganda in the National Education.

    You think secondary school people are ignorant nowadays? You have really lost touch with the ground. Sigh... my dear 66.6% Prime Minister...

  • Great work. I hope this video reaches many people and urges them to action.

  • This is outrageous.

    And offensive!

    And it all arose because someone decided to appoint his daughter-in-law to head Temasek!

    Or perhaps, no diff, maybe she is just a puppet and he is the one holding the string behind.

    Confucius say: (A person who has not contributed, who created a mess and who is now) old but not dead, is a THIEF! 老而不死是为贼!

  • So sad ley...

    I feel so ridiculous with our government's spending while neglecting the elderly who had contributed to Singapore for many years before they when they were young. These are the people who had toiled their sweats to help build our country but was forsaken!

  • It's a great video which shows people the parts of Singapore that we can't see. Sometimes I wonder...Do the rich people who are always in their office able to read these old needy people along the streets? A $200 meal in a restaurant can last these old people for weeks!

  • what can we say............?

    Singapoe is LKY.

    the lee dynasty rule Singapore like a communist.......demoncracy is not for us to define!

    Dark River!

  • 2nd scariest form of demommunist.look like democratic but actually admires the way of communist.
