What do we call the poor in Singapore? According to websites there are no poor people in Singapore since we all live above the poverty line. But as evident, there are those who are in dire straits struggling to survive. I find it absurd that most try to cover up this issue.
Does anyone have any idea what the profile of the poor in Singapore is? Elderly, unemployed? One room flats? Is there a database that the Government puts in place to ensure that everyone's needs are met?
