Maybe Lau Lee should do some shows like "Get Real" by Diana Ser. Remembered Diana once act as a poor folk and spend the night under an expressway beside a canal... Lau Lee or PM can do that too...Originally posted by lotus999:...

Originally posted by the Bear:The SDP had compiled a similar tract at their website for the ''Poor and Destitutes'' - with accompanying famous bylines.
how about we start an unofficial campaign, take pics of the beggers and the rest of the destitute...
send the pictures, location, time and date, all to the PMO..
When did the great leader say that? Shows how much detached he is from reality.

Hiding the truth on the assumption of giving ''face'' to the photographed subjects will not help to improve the ignominous life of the poor and destitute in our Community.Originally posted by Fatum:
hey guys, I don't think it's a good idea to post these pics up eh ....
yes, we're trying to high-light a worrying social phenomenon ... but we're talking about people here .... let's give them some dignity and consideration for their "face" eh ....
how would you like if you're down and out and homeless and sleeping on the streets and your prone, sleeping pics get splashed all over the internet eh ...
we're peasants, heartlanders, we've got eyes to see .... and we know ... those that are not, won't see them anyways .... eh ...
so let's take those pics down please ... [/quote]

wtf ? tat means more than $10 000 a mth ?Originally posted by wisefool83:Zaobao had an article yesterday featuring FT beggers. Apparently there are a bunch of beggers that kept coming into Singapore on Social visit pass just to beg. And the average income is about $300-$400 per day.
Yeap. Rather good income isn't it? As it was revealed, the mean income of a worker packing container only earns about $500 per month. Which is only a bit more than what the beggers were earning in a day.Originally posted by crazy monkey:wtf ? tat means more than $10 000 a mth ?![]()
Let's find a common ground then, keep the pictures online, but use photoshop to cover the faces so nobody recognises them?Originally posted by the Bear:with that post, i see that atobe is cut from the same cloth as the ruling elite...
the pictures of the destitute are to be used without consideration for the subjects.. to be paraded around... tools for his ends..
pretty much like the MIW who look at people as nothing but statistics and chattel..
Your ingratitude displayed simply reflect the clothes that you wear seem to have come from the same ''clothing source'' used by LKY - in the manner that LKY used Lim Chin Siong to garner the mass support available to Lim, only to back-stab Lim by calling him a Communist.Originally posted by the Bear:

I see that you have learnt well about what I have last posted in another thread in taking the ''moral high ground''.
Unfortunately, you should have taken care that you are not seen to shoot yourself in the feet in the process and end up being seen as a ''hypocrite''.
If ''the pictures of the destitute are to be used without consideration for the subjects.. to be paraded around... tools for [my] ends..'' - what was your initial intent with your earlier post which I helped you to get it started with the photos posted ?
