Why the Lims so cruel want to give up their kids?
SG is not thailand or indonesia where poverty is more rampant and people more desperate -
... I read the article, & there're a few questions that keeps running around in my head:
>> weren't all those government public aide agencies, so accessible to all needies, efficient in rendering assistance to such needies?
>> if there are a lot of low-end jobs available out there, why doesn't he take up one of these jobs just for temporary? ... perhaps these jobs have become rare?
>> if people are encouraged to have children, is it economically viable to do so in view of Singapore's High Costs of living? eg., how can a middle or lower income family cope with children/babies and both work at the same time?
... personally, I believe there's something wrong somewhere when people have to resort to such drastic decisions... I wonder what's wrong?
... hmmmm....

... correction, you should think again, and realize WHO is being more CRUEL... -
... on second thought, I believe the poor guy does not really intend to give away his kids, it's just a story to get the attention of our infamous "government"... going public about his plight & throw in the line about giving away his kids to get the "government" off their asses...
-
... this also reminds me of my neighbor; he's Malay, & educated - so is his wife...
... to date, he has two baby girls... as such his wife has to stay home to look after the babies as he's unable to afford a maid & both his & her wife's parents are old & sickly..
he now holds two jobs & he says he may have to look for another 3rd job (a part time one) just to get by...
Recently he revealed his plans to move to JB where life & living is more manageable...& will eventually retire in JB as well to draw out all his CPF money... he told me life is MEANINGLESS here - I said to him, I agree, so does many others...rish or poor...
... tell me, what's wrong in Singapore? Aren't we World Class?
-
Such similar things do happen in other first world countries too, not just Singapore.
-
So sad we can only wish for a better tomorrow in SG..will that day ever come for HDB heartlanders?
-
do we have such services like this?

... no, it will eventually be populated with only PRs, & FTs... no citizens at all... just like a hotel...

sigh, being such a rich country also no use. money is being used for making more money instead of helping these people who need just a tiny winny microscopic bit of that money to survive.

... no... the "government" is rich... NOT the country or the people...... everyone's money is in their hands...

The problem is redistribution of this wealth ..should the poor gets more or less since they pay no tax,,that'a the question

... redistribution? There is redistribution; - the poor help the government get richer by paying the 7%GST...... who says 7%GST doesn't help the poor? It does! It helps them pay Tax to government since they are not taxed!

Hang on now....remember mm lee said that we're now in the golden period...kekekeke
-
eh what are all your problems...the govt has done so much to 'help' us leh...
for the poors - increment of gst.
for those who wanna have a taste of luxury - built more erps to allow more sgpreans to own cars.
cope with gst hikes - give us angpows which most likely will be collected much more in future.
hehe -
why so many kids.
