I noe but if they cut their salary to give to the poor they might become corrupt you know
There's always helplines and free food if you bother to queue up
Its a realistic world ... and they fight to win ... they have no opposition and alot of votes so ... too bad
the poor might wanna stop having babies perhaps -

If only the poor could afford abalone. Then we could all get along.
What nonsense.

Life is sad when there is not too much capitalism, but too few capitalists

Erm too few? I was under the impression its because of it that the wage gap is widening .... but perhaps i'm wrong truly -
S'pore is warm enough as it is..... 31 deg C at least......
There are poor people all around..... how much could 1 or 2 family who is eating "XO abalone" helps
You are all grown up now...... should have learn that life itself is 'Sad'..... which is why Buddha said it is best not to be reborn.....
Ask yourself...... what have you done to help such Poor Families..... instead of asking Why like this, Why like that.....

Kind Sir i will endeavour to answer the questions (relates to me and me only)Singapore is warm - no argument there.... but like it
1 or 2 of the oh so intelligent MPs could reduce their 1m pay to 500k (still be the highest earning ministers in the world) and give 250 poor people jobs that earn $2000 a month.
*think about it only blood boil*"Life is Sad" ..... erm dude... don't resign yerself to yer fate .... and what Buddha says about not being reborn ... i dunno ... if life's so sad back there you have the power to vote .... and sides life is not all about $ .... there's always SEX!!! and GIRLS!!! and ......L...O..vee
I have pretended to be naive and bought tissue packets from wandering AhSohs in kopitiam $1 a packet $2 for 3. I bought 3 save $1 you know

Live within your means. If you are earning 1.5k, can you afford to have 2 kids? You should not expect to eat abalone but you won't starve either. Work harder and upgrade your skills like the many successful people who have risen from even more humble beginnings.

do not focus on what you cannot have but focus what you already have

Is it fair that YOU worry about what to eat, and some worry about whether they have anything to eat?
No.
Life's unfair. Cliche, but it's true. Are you seriously complaining that it's wrong for someone to enjoy their position in life?
-
If you want to be dogmatic about it, then you should propose redistributive policies.
For example, raise Income Tax to 100% of income after your income exceeds $5,000 a month. All the tax collected give to the families earning $1,500/month so they can eat abalone. Extreme example just to make the point.

Well, they are not complaining about a MNC's CEO who is enjoying his/her bonuses from the profit . Usually a CEO gets a bonus based on performance and the profit to their stakeholders.
They are complaining about Ministers who are selected to run the country for the benefit of the country. Usually ministers have to act like role models for their citizens and if they want a public life, it will be open to scrutiny, especially if they want to be paid like a CEO without transparent accountability to the stakeholders.
