Glad to catch up with Uncle Neo (73 yr old) again last night during our MacPherson’s Parents’ Day celebration dinner. He looks to be in good shape and spirits! When I met him last night, he shared happily that he has just moved into a new rental unit at Pipit Road. His story is a successful example of how the community and the government worked together to help those in need.

A local café operator first noticed Uncle Neo sleeping out in the open and notified me. She had not seen him around before, and hence when he started sleeping out in the open, she noticed him quickly (power of the community!). When she approached him, she found out that he was a co-tenant of a rental unit nearby under HDB’s Joint Singles Scheme. However, he and his co-tenant could not get along and he was in fact bullied by the other person (also a single elderly…). Uncle Neo suffered in silence at first but eventually gave up and ceded the space. The good hearted café operator felt sorry for Uncle Neo and tried to help him by providing him with simple supplies. She also emailed me for help.

My team and I arranged for him to take temporary refuge at an elderly home within our constituency. I also followed up with the HDB to look into the issue urgently. A social worker from another VWO within our constituency came in to assist Uncle Neo with his daily needs. We eventually managed to re-home Uncle Neo in a different HDB rental unit and we are very pleased to see him so relieved now. Helping Uncle Neo would not have been possible without the support from everyone.

If the PAP was as good as it makes itself out to be, these sorts of cases would not have occurred in the first place. :rolleyes:

This genre of propaganda nauseates me no end. The fact that they use the misfortune of others to further their political ambitions makes it all the more disgusting.

Absolutely agree. I wonder what kind of gullible Singaporeans believes in this distribe.

Not at all. There are some aspects of the PAP that I can't stand and this is one of them. Just because I'm a PAP loyalist does not mean that I agree with everything they do.

Perhaps I can interest you with a more heart warming deed by Ms Tin.

Additional free meal service in MacPherson (13 photos)
It has been more than 2 months since we partnered Willing Hearts to provide an additional free meal service to MacPherson residents who are in need. I am always warmed by the big hearts of volunteer welfare organisations such as Willing Hearts, Thye Hua Kwan, GEHA and Care Community Services, which have given so much help to our less fortunate residents. With the free meal services, residents who are in need do not have to go hungry, and the money they save on meals can be used to pay for other daily living essentials.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who have been helping on a daily basis!

Why blame PAP? :rolleyes: This would not have happened if he got a Degree when he was younger. :biggrin:

She is very clever.. She wants to gain political mileage by trumpeting to the whole world that she kindly helped this poor Uncle..

She knows that these elderly people have voting power, no internet access, need help etc. Macpherson is an old estate. I will not be surprised that it will become an SMC as it is now a PAP captive. She is there full time and can spend all her working hours there.

She in a GRC like Marine Parade becomes less difficult to buy votes as the younger generation will see thru her.

Watch Macpherson.

To be Thatcher she first must be PAP Sec Gen then chosen as PM. The let the Malaysians invade Ubin or Pedra Branca and fight them. Then roll back the state. Also clamp down on the unions--as if there are any

Agree.. MacPherson as an old estate are full of these elderly people.. These old folks will surely vote for her.. I just hope the old folks there won't regard her as some sort of an Angel coming to rescue them from poverty..

Its the PAP policies that are making many of these homeless senior citizens sleeping under the blocks of Balam Rd right up till Pipit Rd..

Oh...so Maggie Thatcher has already come and gone from Singapore,,,,but in all honestly,,Maggie made the poor worse off and destroyed the working class,,,but also,,if the Unions were willing to sit down and negotiate and were willing to work,,maybe things would have turned out differently

She seems to have an effect on elderly people, especially the men, one elderly man, had an urge to pee, when she started talking in parliament. Guess the "ah Pek" must have peed in his pants..he had no chance to go to the loo..:wink:
