those who die naturally, painlessly, and peacefully find an impregnated womb easily and get to pick the family they wish to be born into.

Not really. I heard it's something like applying for a BTO flat: take a queue number, check your budget (karmic score) etc.

Nowadays all social media influencers, celebrities, high society socialites will have been advised to be seen doing some charity work, social work, environment work to project the right image: never forget their humble beginnings, giving back to society, a heart to help the poor, a passion for reforestation, a campaigner for climate change etc.

But they do the minimal: one trip to a poor country to hand out goodie bags, do some token shovelling of soil to plant a tree, lay one brick to build a house and leave the rest of the work to the rest. And put it up on their Facebook and Instagram page.

Same for local work: go and help pack a few goodie bags when the bulk of it has been packed by other volunteers. Go and distribute the goodie bags. How difficult is that?

Of course, the easiest is to make a donation. And make the donation big enough so that the donor becomes a patron, a board member or a member of the honorary committee of the charitable organisation.

But how many of them have actually done hard work e.g. helped cleaned a poor family's house, help feed a paralysed person, etc.?

In this category falls the five dead men, billionaire Peter Lim's daughter Kim Lim, and many of those featured in high-society magazines like Singapore Tatler.

Dot feels compelled to start a thread on this: the giving-back-to-society fakers.

"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

He is an attention seeker, always appear on news to give his two cents worth of "economics". Often not very accurate and at best, predictable. Philip Yeo once said such profession are useless with no concrete economic value and aplenty in Singapore society and prefer that our real talent should be in the medical field.

Yes, and I remember he likes to either wear a bowtie or a pair of suspenders (braces) during interviews... the preferred attire of economists or men with high SES jobs. :biggrin:

This song could not be more apt to honor the 5 Humble, charitable, Bak Kwa fallen Sinkie boy racers.

Very timely now for SPF Traffic Police Division now to come out with slogan...."Speed Thrills but Kills" using the video clip and show on TV prime time ad space.
