If they get prostate cancer, will they get good, prompt medical treatment?

Of course they will. That's why Singaporeans have one of the highest life expectancies in the world.

Low Thia Khiang and his wealthy town council staff should take in these poor old men.

I have a better idea. Toothpick Zorro Lim should get himself a cardboard box and go and sleep beside them. Then he can empathize more with the people as he prepares for his impending retirement.

He may shed tears of empathy.

Quote:

Two senior citizens were seen sleeping in cardboard boxes fashioned into ‘beds’ yesterday (Feb 15) 10.15pm at Block 8 of North Bridge Road.

Stomper Hockheng, who saw the two, hopes that there will be some good Samaritans who can welcome these senior citizens into their homes for Chinese New Year.

He said:

“Two senior pioneers were found sleeping at the void deck behind the ground floor shops at Blk 8 North Bridge Road on 15 February 2015 at 10.15pm.

“While we care for the strays, hopefully someone will help these two pioneers find a home where they can welcome the Lunar New Year within these three days.”​
