Idiot Lawrence.
Zoe's saga was not about unhealthy comparisons but a stark reminder of how the haves look down on the have nots.
It's about the rich-poor divide.
It's about the Gini index.
It's about PAP's failure to close the gap after 5 decades of mismanagement.

Yes but ok for him to be paid millions.
Any government that closed the gap between rich and poor would be doing a great disservice to the country.
Gaps are necessary in order for humans to have aspirations to get ahead of the pack. The smaller the gap is the less incentive there is improve one's lot.
He’s just educating us that a foreigner trash like her can exploit the kindness of Sinkees by playing the victim card and getting exploited by brands to create publicity while earning extra money.
Surely I can’t be the only person in here who can see what’s really happening.

Now let us recall what this little cunt did. She deliberately labeled a Charles and Keith bag as ‘luxury bag’ when she didn’t have to. She could have said “my dream bag”, but she chose to label it as “luxury”.
What is happening here is the repeated placement of obstacles for one to improve his station by the rich. It benefits the rich and when it becomes normal, leads to modern day form of slavery.
In fact, if your logic is right, we should take away the wealth from the rich so that they will continue to improve instead of stagnating.

Singapore is one of best places to grow wealth. The only obstacles are the ones created between the ears of those who can't be bothered to strive for success.
U just summed up 90% of the demographics in your forum
The first question should be why did they import this penniless father and daughter. What talents do they have?
This guy funny ,hiw come one of the papigs say must paid high so that dignity is there as MP,knn,wat abt common sinkies? Ot self esteem n dignity,knn,ask papigs to sought out themselves first
Perhaps there needs to be a balance. In our World, 1st impression counts, thus many youths & teens would like to be accepted amongst peers, to have a sense of belonging, & thus the foolish pressure upon themselves & upon their parents to obtain costly material goods when they don't even need it, as less costly material goods are good enough to meet youthful needs, would save up a lot of important money for better cash flow to enhance one's own quality of life.
Even adults between the ages of 20 to 30s subscribe to materialism, spending huge sums & loans to make that important 1st impression, WITHOUT realizing that it is LASTING impressions that MATTERS. What truly MATTERS is the SUBSTANCE between one's ears. One can drive the latest model of BMW, dressed in the most expensive clothes & attire, but if that critical substance is empty, one would be treated as an air-head to be used & abused.
One can argue that when one owns expensive items, it shows refinement, taste, class & intelligence to others, as such is what it takes to reach the top, or so claimed by luxury goods advertisement. So too those whom took own loans, being thrifty at one's own health or health to others to buy such expensive items.
It takes MORE than material goods to show refinement, taste, class & intelligence to make LASTING impressions. It comes from VALUES that each Human aspires to achieve -Integrity, courage, dependability, altruism, well-being, generosity, gratitude, sustainability, etc, that would endear a Human to another & be valued & treasured for life.
1st impressions counts, but lasts only a few moments, till the moment one opens his/her mouth to reveal one's true worth & values.
