Are our government aid agencies all useless and ineffective?

[Confuseous]

I have been reading occasionally the posts on Transitioning and I stopped my work midway to write this email.

It saddens me everytime I read articles of individuals being abused in the workplace and with no one to turn to, they actually come to you.

Given that you run Transitioning on a volunteer basis, it is a clear sign of institutional failure that the governmental bodies do not have an effective avenue for the helpless or jobless to turn to.

With the amount of manpower and resources they have, it makes me wonder where did all the tax payers’ money went and what are they doing everyday?

It is also no less deplorable that in most of the articles, the relevant authorities are seen to be referring to some legislation to systematically discharge themselves of any responsibility.

Have you ever served in any of these aid agencies yourself?

In most developed nations, there is usually a paid, professional holding the position of an Ombudsman. In Sg, nobody's ever heard of such a position. Anyone with complains is usually seen as uncooperative and a troubemaker. Keep quiet, do your work, hope company does well and you can look forward to a rewarding bonus - that is the norm.

Cheers!
