80多岁老夫妇,为吃庙宇提供的免费食物,连续3天睡在组屋楼下,老妻昨午突晕倒,送院后不治。

这起悲剧发生在昨天下午4时45分,地点在宏茂桥4道第223座组屋。

记者接获读者拨打热线通知,立即赶到现场了解情况,当时81岁老妇蔡洗已被送往陈笃生医院急救,丈夫冯亚聪(85岁)坐 在妻子的轮椅上,一脸无助。

冯老先生受访时说,妻子昨天淋了雨,身体一向虚弱的她,突然晕倒在轮椅上,把他吓坏了。

两老相依为命,夫左眼瞎妻手脚萎缩;救护车载走妻,老汉不知所措。

Reporters received from readers to call the hotline to inform, rushed to the scene immediately informed, when 81-year old woman washed CAI has been sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, her husband Feng Yacong (85 years old) sitting on his wife's wheelchair, looking helpless.

Von old respondents said that his wife was caught in the rain yesterday, her body has always been weak, collapsed in a wheelchair, he was frightened.

Was just two old, blind in the left eye of wife limbs atrophy; ambulances carry the wife, and old men out of their wits. Link
 
Is this only the tip of the iceberg?
How many more cases did not made it to the news?
Pinky just distributed to the poor in jalan kayu? Should have saved one package for this old lady in his own amk GRC

An 80 year old kicking the bucket isn't a tragedy. It's the natural order of things. Nobody lasts forever. :rolleyes:

An old. person dying is nothing out of ordinary but an 80
yr old queuing up for food for 3 days in a country with
one of the highest concentration of millionaires and
billionaires is just shocking
 
In the immortal words of our previous MCYS Minister - "You want hawker centre, food court or restaurant?"

What disgusts me most, is that our Govt likes to do a song and dance about how they take care of the poor and underprivileged. But for any good and humane govt, this should be the expected standard, the minimum requirement. What separates the exceptional govt from the rest, is how well the govt make it possible for people to fulfil their dreams and aspirations in life.

From examples like this, one can see just how far off the mark PAP is.

Nobody said life is fair. Some win, some lose. That's the natural order of things too.
 
This is really sad....

AMK is a busy housing estate and for 3 days, no one actually went forward to ask the old folks if they are in need of help?

yup sad sad case.
this reaction of sillypooreans is understandable.
just like pretender sam leong , 90% of sillypooreans are just pretenders.
if case is given huge publicity on the front page of newspapers , many
pretenders will donate generously. this old couple could be millionaire.
rc dogs and maggots and other related org will be showed to be very caring.
this is the reality in sillypoore
