“If you were a poor person, anywhere on this planet, Singapore is the one place where you will have a roof over your head, where you will have food on the table. Even if you can’t afford it, we will have meals delivered to you. You will get healthcare. Do not lose sight of the fundamentals. And I am confident that we have done our duty for the people who need our help.”

Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports

It is very ridiculous to give up your brains just because a Minister sounds his own opinion.

I hold a different viewpoint: Singapore is not the place to be in if you are poor.

Singapore is the best place to be in the world if you are very wealthy OR if you are a foreigner. For the former, the tax rates are very attractive. For the latter, you benefit from the various policies, have a good job here and an option to return to your home country.

So, what the hell are those old folks collecting cardboards and clearing the dishes etching out a living?

They should pay Vivian Balakrishnan a visit and claims from him a roof and demand those free food to be delivered which they rightfully endow, why need to work? :confused:

What he said is true until after SARS

I think economically Singapore had many challenges after that and all the social ills start to surface

An unemployed mother of eight in Britain could get to live in a house in Notting Hill worth 2.6m pounds, all paid for by the taxpayers. In Deutschland, your boss could give you 12 months of redundancy payment after firing you. Really? Singapore is the best place to be in if you are poor?
