Tan Chuan-Jin says some cardboard collectors do it for extra pocket money and some for fun. Yes, some do tell you exactly that, but that's because it's the most dignified response they can muster. Try scraping rubbish bins and dragging cardboards for hours under the hot sun for just 11 cents per kilo (it was 12 cents when I filmed Nation Builders in 2008). It's backbreaking work, let alone for 80-year-olds. Credit to Chuan-Jin for his effort (Hsien Loong won't do this), but really, he can do much better than draw conclusions from a day of sightseeing in the alleys and backlanes of a country and a people from whom he draws his salary and power.

"You know you need to vote all the papigs out when they tell you that the elderly poor pioneer generation would rather spend hours under the hot sun collecting 100 kilos of dirty cardboard just to earn 11 cents per kilo of cardboard, and $1 for every 70 aluminium dirty cans just to kill time and treat it as a form of exercise , Mr Tan C J, you have either really lost touch with the dirt poor folks on the ground or you n your overpaid cronies really choose to believe that there are no dirt poor in SG."
